Do not add an apostrophe to a word ending in s when it is used primarily in a descriptive sense: citizens band radio, a Cincinnati Reds infielder, a Teamsters request, a writers guide.

New story! "A Sigilary for the Median Human in the Gearwrack" is out in @UncannyMagazine. (Uncanny has always supported my most strange, difficult, and interesting stories.) I drew the sigils. The more we mechanize craft, the more we need to remain human.
