while i slouched, nearly stooping, suddenly there came a booping, as of someone gently booping, booping at my chamber door. tis some mutual, i said, booping at my chamber door. only this and nothing more.

I hate it when medical stress means you mess up at work so now you have work stress and all you can do is wait for the meeting at work where they tell you exactly how you messed up. But wait, you still have medical stuff! And more work stuff!

Do you have some scifi novels you'd recommend? I've just finished The Martian and am looking for new material🥹

Project Hail Mary is also very good if you're looking by something with the same general vibe as The Martian (it's also by the same author). If you want something more sociological, I like a lot of CJ Cherryh's stuff; if you want something light, mildy actiony and modern (and like autistic robots and hate corporations), The Murderbot Diaries (Martha Wells) is a fun (and funny) read. If you want very light, modern, AND sociological, The Wayfarers series (Becky Chambers) is a great sort of Fun Mix grab-bag of alien concepts.

If you're looking for just really good scifi in general, absolutely anything by Philip K Dick is a great choice. You can pick a PKD story at random and there's like, an 80% chance it'll be a total banger that'll permanently alter your brain chemistry. I, Robot by Isaac Asimov is also great. (I wouldn't call myself an Asimov fan in general, Foundation is a fucking snorefest I couldn't get through, but I, Robot is great.)

Oh an Naomi Mitchson's Memoirs of a Spacewoman. And Jane Yolen's Cards of Grief. And OF COURSE Greg Bear's Blood Music (the original short story is great but you'll specifically want to read the novel) is absolutely unmissable, and I also have fond memories of Eugene Byrne's THIGMOO although I do understand it's generally considered pretty unimpressive, and

Look man I'm gonna have to stop before I find myself recommending the entire genre one by one.

it's kind of crazy climate change has occurred at such a remarkable pace that I and everyone else around my age can remember a completely different climate in our childhoods. I truly watched winter gradually disappear in my life.

rewatching sotus and I forgot how insane kongpob is

[heavenhellandhumanity]

every time I see someone recommending Benjanun Sriduangkaew in the name of supporting queer women and queer POC I’m always like. Yeah except for the ones she viciously harassed I guess. Maybe she turned over a new leaf and I’m being unfair by holding her old sins against her but I’ve never seen an apology or an acknowledgement from her that she did anything wrong.

And like. If you want to support queer Asian sff writers. I can name half a dozen off the top of my head who are amazing and creative and deserve more attention and have NOT spearheaded internet harassment campaigns against other writers. So.

sorry i was researching the author of a victorian book about raising children and now i'm fascinated by her. clear my schedule we're talking about lydia maria child.

The duality of man is thinking “children cannot help themselves and we all need to be patient with them as they explore what it means to be human in public” and also “damn, I wish this crying baby was not on the plane rn :/“
