A Most /un/Welcome Return...

**spoilers**

This was originally titled in the opposite direction, reflecting the calm homecoming of returning to books by a reliably enjoyable writer.

But, I'm sorry, it's 10 days since the US election and while I'm going an excellent job of hiding from that reality, can I just take this moment to say: Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeriously? *sad, sad face*

One of those moments when I treasure being served up X/ex-twitter in the form of people I in fact want to hear from (interrupted by a harmless story about mistaken identities and death metal concerts):

And it gives me fresh energy for the subject matter of MRK's Lady Astronaut books - which include two of my absolutely favourite things, aka an alternative history/timeline (so much fun! so much that could happen! yikes, and some of it actually does!) and SPACE.

These are GREAT books for conveying the message that what we do when we seemed to be facing impossible odds is - we carry on. We try. We do what we can. The darkness moves to engulf us and in whatever ways come to hand, small or large, we push back.

Specifically, in MRK's world, she's written a post-disaster narrative set among survivors of an extinction-level meteor strike. I don't think I'd even call this cosy catastrophe, though, because the world that's left behind, although it functions in a reasonably recognisable way for 1950s America, is pretty unmistakably dystopian. The consequences are many and multiple. But there's also gin, cake, s*x and friendship. And petty rivalries. Actual life, persisting regardless.

What I was *PLANNING* to say was that these are a great example of books I will happily read over and over again, that are partly/mostly in the terrain of things I'd write about myself, but are NOT the kind of book I'm aspiring to write. That's because they are i) hard science faithful in a way that feels frankly beyond my appetite and energy and ii) overtly identity-politics political, in ways I support but again don't think I could replicate

MRK does a superbly impressive job on conjuring the feeling of being in Real Space Race conditions - the checklists, the jargon, the reality of what it feels like for Real Astronauts and the things they really need to pay attention to. She's checking her material with Real Space People so full snaps for doing the homework. And doing it well.

Comes over to me as very 13 Minutes to the Moon in tone:

The other thing she puts right at the centre of the story is the question of race relations, both inside the space programme and between the space programme and Everyone Else, left behind.

The main terrorist opposition is effectively living out the logic of Whitey On the Moon and gets a sympathetic hearing from the main character, and a predictably unsympathetic response from the holders of power within the framework of the Lady Astronaut world:

That's on me (the lack of attention to the detail of the hard science and the lack of desire for a political fight) but there's maybe also something subtle and interesting - and perhaps difficult and perhaps self-defeating - about learning to recognise, in order to try to write, PRECISELY the story that fits your own personality and interests.

[I have a high level of confidence, though, that this is terrible, terrible advice for anyone who wants to have an actual published/publishing career, where the correct version of the advice needs to be - write that version of your own preferred story, but in such a way that it's likely to chime for other readers and - if you have the alchemical touch, which I certainly don't - shaped for the zeitgeist. I don't expect to be published commercially but I AM expecting myself to finish writing my Raynovia story and to complete it in a way that absolutely works as a testament to the kind of stories and writing *I want* to leave as - temporary - legacy in my corner of the internet / London.]

moon day books (books for 7/20/24)

Moon Day* is coming up, and that sounds like as good an excuse as any for talking about some books

Here's my list, rationale is below the jump

The Lady Astronaut series by Mary Robinette Kowal

by Becky Chambers, Record of a Spaceborn Few (or The Galaxy, and the Ground Within. Or Psalm for the Wild-Built)

The Last Hero by Terry Pratchett

So You Want to be a Wizard by Diane Duane

The Fifth Season by NK Jemisin

Martha Wells's Murderbot Diaries series

*Moon Day is the anniversary of the first Moon Landing, July 20 :) I'm aware it's not really a holiday but I love the idea

The Lady Astronaut series by Mary Robinette Kowal This is a really excellent series. It's an alternative history of space travel. It has lots of women, and there are characters of colors (although they're thus far limited to the supporting cast). They're exciting, emotional, and gripping. I loved these books.

SUMMARY: A meteor decimates the U.S. government and paves the way for a climate cataclysm that will eventually render the earth inhospitable to humanity. This looming threat calls for a radically accelerated timeline in the earth’s efforts to colonize space, as well as an unprecedented opportunity for a much larger share of humanity to take part. One of these new entrants in the space race is Elma York, whose experience as a WASP pilot and mathematician earns her a place in the International Aerospace Coalition’s attempts to put man on the moon. But with so many skilled and experienced women pilots and scientists involved with the program, it doesn’t take long before Elma begins to wonder why they can’t go into space, too—aside from some pesky barriers like thousands of years of history and a host of expectations about the proper place of the fairer sex. And yet, Elma’s drive to become the first Lady Astronaut is so strong that even the most dearly held conventions may not stand a chance.

2. One of Becky Chamber's books, probably Record of a Spaceborn Few or perhaps the Galaxy, and the Ground Within.

These are both standalone set in the same series. Record of a Spaceborn Few follows multiple characters whose lives intersect but are not especially intertwined. All these characters live on or are visiting the Human Fleet, which is the uh the… vessels that humans left the Earth on, as we jettisoned ourselves into space? I mentioned this one a little while back in conjunction with the waves hands Ship of Theseus and museology thing. The Galaxy, and the Ground Within like… doesn't have humans in it? It's basically a book-long bottle episodes, and it has themes of what is the significance art, what does it mean to negotiate one's identity as an individual and with respect to one's group identity. (By this I mostly mean like. the characters are all nonhuman alien species, and several of them negotiate their relationship between being a "typical" whatever vs being themselves.) One thing I love about Becky Chambers's books is that the aliens actually feel alien to me. They don't just feel like a different kind of human, they feel like they have meaningfully different biology and this affects their worldview.

Also on my Becky Chambers thoughts is her book Psalm for the Wild Built. I love how she spins the setting, presenting a very rosy concept of how humans could renegotiate our use of the planet we live on. One of the appeals of the Lady Astronaut series (above) is the realism. For the Psalm for the Wild Built, it's kind of the opposite; I love the… almost courage of imagining "what if we collectively did do better? What might that look like?" In a world where cynicism seems like a pragmatic form of self-protection, this sort of imagining almost seems brave.

3. For a slightly off the wall book idea, how about Sir Terry Pratchett's The Last Hero?

I love this book, it's a relatively quick read due to its format. The art is gorgeous. The story is wry and warm in that special Discworld way, and altitude is a factor in the story :) So that's the moon connection.

Cohen the Barbarian. He's been a legend in his own lifetime. He can remember the good old days of high adventure, when being a Hero meant one didn't have to worry about aching backs and lawyers and civilization. But these days, he can't always remember just where he put his teeth… So now, with his ancient (yet still trusty) sword and new walking stick in hand, Cohen gathers a group of his old -- very old -- friends to embark on one final quest. He's going to climb the highest mountain of Discworld and meet the gods. It's time the Last Hero in the world returns what the first hero stole. Trouble is, that'll mean the end of the world, if no one stops him in time.

4. As a YA lover, I have to include a shout-out for So You Want to be a Wizard by Diane Duane. This is the first of the Young Wizards series, which I love, and the characters (and I believe Ms Duane) LOVE the moon. It's really heartwarming, it reminds me of those videos of the astronaut talking about what going to the moon means to him.

Nita Callahan is at the end of her rope because of the bullies who've been hounding her at school… until she discovers a mysterious library book that promises her the chance to become a wizard. But she has no idea of the difference that taking the Wizard's Oath is going to make in her life. Shortly, in company with fellow beginner-wizard Kit Rodriguez, Nita's catapulted into what will be the adventure of a lifetime—if she and Kit can both live through it. For every wizard's career starts with an Ordeal in which he or she must challenge the one power in the universe that hates wizardry more than anything else: the Lone Power that invented death and turned it loose in the worlds. Plunged into a dark and deadly alternate New York full of the Lone One's creatures, Kit and Nita must venture into the very heart of darkness to find the stolen, legendary Book of Night with Moon. Only with the dangerous power of the wizardly Book do they have a chance to save not just their own lives, but their world…

5. Not to be cheeky, but if that's too wholesome, perhaps The Fifth Season by NK Jemisin will hit the spot? :D

This is the way the world ends. Again. Three terrible things happen in a single day. Essun, a woman living an ordinary life in a small town, comes home to find that her husband has brutally murdered their son and kidnapped their daughter. Meanwhile, mighty Sanze -- the world-spanning empire whose innovations have been civilization's bedrock for a thousand years -- collapses as most of its citizens are murdered to serve a madman's vengeance. And worst of all, across the heart of the vast continent known as the Stillness, a great red rift has been torn into the heart of the earth, spewing ash enough to darken the sky for years. Or centuries. Now Essun must pursue the wreckage of her family through a deadly, dying land. Without sunlight, clean water, or arable land, and with limited stockpiles of supplies, there will be war all across the Stillness: a battle royale of nations not for power or territory, but simply for the basic resources necessary to get through the long dark night. Essun does not care if the world falls apart around her. She'll break it herself, if she must, to save her daughter.

6. Final one. Why not use Moon Day as an excuse to reread Martha Well's Murderbot Diaries books? (Paper-thin excuse: MB's favorite TV show is… sanctuary moon!)

In a corporate-dominated space-faring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. For their own safety, exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids. But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern. On a distant planet, a team of scientists is conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid--a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.” Scornful of humans, Murderbot wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is, but when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and Murderbot to get to the truth.

[I said I wasn't going to add Andy Weir's The Martian because it's a gimme, but I'm a liar! I also love The Martian. Yes I know it's on Mars, not the moon, but! Humans! In! Spaaaaace!]

If you made it this far, what do you think? What books does "moon day" make you think of? Which books are on YOUR list?

[34-ist-34]

*HİÇ DÜŞÜNDÜNÜZ MÜ???*

Ak Parti iktidar olduktan sonra Türkiye'ye yapılan yatırımların %10'u bile halktan alınan vergilerle yapılabilirmiydi veya (İngiltere, Amerika, İsrail haricinde) bunu düşünüp te farkına varan kimse oldu mu?

Bu ülke petrol, doğalgaz satmaz.

Bu ülke maden, silah, uçak satmaz.

Bu ülke ilaç satmaz, teknoloji satmaz, arabasını bile ithal eder.

Bu ülke elmas, altın çıkarmaz. Kısacası bu ülkenin turizmden başka hiç bir dış geliri yoktur.

Hiçbir zaman ithalatı, ihracatından az olmamıştır. Kıymeti üzerinden hesaplandığında bu ülkeye giren mal, çıkandan çok daha fazladır.

Hal böyle iken Türkiye nasıl oluyor da, petrol satan Suudi Arabistan'dan, doğalgaz satan Rusya ve Azerbaycan'dan, silah satan Amerika, İngiltere ve İsrailden, araç satan Avrupa ülkelerinden, elektronik ürünler pazarlayan Güney Kore ve Japonya'dan, ucuz iş gücü sayesinde ekonomisini güçlendiren Çin'den daha fazla yatırım yapıyor?

Krizler bütün ülkeleri sarsarken Türkiye nasıl oluyor da sarsılmıyor? Yatırımlar durmuyor?

Sağlık, Bilim, Eğitim ve Askeri alanlarda gelişmeler yavaşlaması gerekirken aksine hızlanıyor? Sosyal devlet olma yolunda hızla ilerleyen Türkiye ne satıyor, nerden geliyor bu paralar?

Gerçekten bütün bunlar nasıl oldu?

Halktan alınan vergilerle bırakın hırsızlık yapmayı; son 10 yılda yapılan yatırımların %10'u bile yapılamazdı.

O halde nereden buldu bu parayı Türkiye?

11 Eylül sonrasında Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ve Uluslararası kuruluşlar bir çok arap iş adamını El-Kaideye yardım ve yataklık yapmakla suçladı. Bu iş adamlarından bazıları Amerika ve İngiltere'nin sözünden çıkmayan ve tehditlerinden korkarak yelkenleri indirerek bu haklarındaki bütün suçlamalardan aklandılar(?)

Bunların dışında suçlamaları kabul etmeyerek davalarla dişe diş mücadele edip masumiyetini ispatlayan samimi arap iş adamları da vardı. Hatırlarsanız 28 Şubat sürecinde Almanya'daki soydaşlarımızın ve halkımızın kurduğu bir çok şirket yeşil sermaye yaftasıyla suçlayarak batırılmış, kurucuları da hırsız ilan edilmişlerdi. Anlayacağınız üzere tezgâh içeride de dışarı da da aynıydı.

Davalarla uğraşıp aklanan, emperyalizme teslim olmayan bu iş adamlarından biri de Yasin El Kadı idi. (araştırabilirsiniz)

Yasin El Kadı ve O'nun gibi iş adamları New York ve Londra borsasındaki bütün paralarını çekip nakit olarak Türkiye ye taşıdılar.

İşte bu paraların çoğu kayıt dışı $ olarak depolarda tutulurken bir kısmı ile de Türkiye'de, oto yollar, köprüler, tüp geçitler, toplu konutlar, hastaneler, hızlı tren ağları, üniversiteler, hava alanları vb. yatırımlar yapıldı.

Arap kökenli bu iş adamlarının paralarını Türkiye'ye taşımalarında Amerika ve İngiltere'ye olan nefretlerinin artması ve İslâm dünyasında Türkiye dışında ayakta kalan başka bir ülkenin kalmamış olması etkili olmuştu.

Son kalenin Türkiye olduğunu farkeden Yasin El Kadı gibi iş adamları kayıt dışı paralarını Erdoğan'a kullanana dek bankalar dışında muhafaza etmek üzere teslim ettiler. Zira

Merkez Bankası'nda bile İsrail başta olmak üzere yabancılara çalışan casuslar kol geziyor, Türkiye'deki dolar miktarını öğrenmeye çalışıyorlardı. Hatırlarsanız Merkez Bankası'nda casusluk suçlaması ile işine son verilenler olmuştu.

Erdoğan Reza Zarrab'ı kullanarak paranın bir kısmını ambargoyu delerek İran ile yapılan ticarette eritiyor, bir kısmını Türkiye'deki yatırımlara harcıyor, kalan kısmını da bir şekilde muhafaza etmeye devam ediyordu.

Bu paralar devletin parası olmadığı için Devletin kasası açık vermiyor, aksine sürekli fazla veriyordu. Bu fazlalığı bu güne kadar kimse sorgulamadı.

Bu ülke geliri giderini karşılayamazken, nasıl oluyor da batmıyor, aksine sürekli gelişip zenginleşiyordu?

Bu soruyu bizden başka soranlar da oldu. Ellerinde bir belge olmayınca R. Tayyip Erdoğan'ı diktatör, terörist, hırsız gibi ithamlarla halkın gözünden düşürüp, eyalet valisi gibi yönetecekleri yeni bir başbakan bulmak için düğmeye bastılar. Gezi olayları, 17-25 Aralık operasyonları, Mit tırlarına yapılan operasyonlar hep bu sebepten idi.

Asıl konumuza dönersek, gezi olaylarında dolar 2 TLyi görmeyecek diyen Merkez Bankası her gün piyasaya 1 milyar dolar sürüyor, bu da ABD ve İngiltere'yi çıldırtıyordu. Hangi paraydı bu piyasaya sürülen para? Merkez Bankası' nda Dolar limitinin tükenmiş olması, Dolar'ın en az 5 TL ye fırlaması gerekiyordu. Ama olmuyordu işte...

Bu paralar Yasin El Kadı gibi bir kaç arap iş adamının parasıydı ve Yasin El Kadı sırf bu yüzden Türkiye'ye geldiğinde bir kaç kere suikaste uğradı. (Google'dan kazalara bakın...)

Bütün bu detayları devlet açıklayamaz. Kayıt dışı paralar devleti uluslararası arenada suçlu yapar, arap iş adamlarını da hedef haline getirir. Bu durumu en iyi bilenlerden biri de parelel yapı olduğu için, Tayyip Erdoğan'ın milyar dolarları çaldığını tapelerle isbata kalktılar. Çok iyi biliyorlardı ki, yapılan yatırımlardan bırakın rüşvet alıp para çalmayı, mevcut gelirlerle yatırımların %10' unu bile yapmak mümkün değildi. Devletin kasasına gelen para gibi kasadan çıkacak olan da belliydi.

Kullanılan para miktarı öyle 1 Milyar dolar filan da değil. Çok daha fazla. Ama CİAmaat 100 milyar dolar deseydi, herkes OHA diyeceği için 1 milyar dolar gibi inandırıcı bir rakamı tercih ettiler.

Hal böyle iken bu gerçekleri dillendiremeyen muarızlara karşı bu ülkenin iyiliğini düşünen insanların bir şeyler yapması lazım. Bu para devletin geliri değil, aksine devlete Recep Tayyip Erdoğan'ın kendi itibarı ile kattığı ek gelirdir. Bu paralar bu güne dek milletin çıkarları için kullanılmıştır ve bundan sonra da bu çıkarlar doğrultusunda kullanılacaktır.

Sayın Cumhurbaşkanımızı ve bu ülkeyi İngiliz, Amerikan, Yahudi uşaklarına yem etmeyelim.

100 tane de kaset çıksa biliniz ki Recep Tayyip Erdoğan hırsız değil aksine bu ülkeye dışardan para getirmiş, kaybetmeye tahammülümüzün olmayacağı, yeri doldurulamaz bir liderdir. Gelecek nesiller için O'na sahip çıkalım.

I’m sorry but I’m NOT over “a New York clothing store was expanding its basement and found the remains of the well where Elma Sands was found murdered in the year 1800 which led to a murder trial that is historically significant both for being the first US murder trial for which we have a formal record and because two of the three attorneys representing the accused were Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr

And they were like

Well

We really do want our store to be bigger but we also don’t want to destroy this priceless piece of history

So the old-ass well is just IN THEIR STORE!!!! IT’S JUST IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR CLOTHING STORE SURROUNDED BY CLOTHES BECAUSE IT’S A CLOTHING STORE. THE WELL THAT ELMA SANDS’ MURDERER DUMPED HER BODY INTO. THAT WELL. IN THEIR STORE

Wintry Weather Whooshes In

A wintry scene unfurled across the Great Lakes region in mid-December 2024, as a blast of frigid air traversed open water and dropped up to several feet of snow. Lake-effect snow buried some towns under heavy accumulation, while cold temperatures and gusty winds affected many more.

The VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) on the NOAA-21 satellite acquired these images on the afternoon of December 12. Both the natural-color (top) and false-color (lower) images show clouds streaming across the lakes, along with snow-covered land. In the false-color scene, the combination of visible and infrared light (bands M11-I2-I1) allows clouds (white) to stand out from the snow (light blue), although small ice crystals in high-level clouds can also take on a bluish tinge. Vegetation appears bright green.

The parallel bands of clouds, or cloud streets, visible over the Great Lakes form when frigid, dry air blows across relatively warm lake water and picks up water vapor. The water vapor freezes into ice crystals, forming clouds that extend in the direction of the wind. When the moist air reaches the opposite shore, it can fall as lake-effect snow.

Snow accumulated on land downwind of the lakes, especially in northern Michigan and western New York, on December 12 and 13. Totals reached several feet in some pockets. Weather stations in Munising and Gaylord, Michigan, recorded over 14 and 17 inches (36 and 43 centimeters), respectively, over those two days. Meanwhile, in New York, Elma Center, just east of Buffalo, received 38 inches (97 centimeters) in that time. These totals come on top of the 46 inches that had fallen there earlier in the month.

Though the heaviest snow was localized, wintry conditions affected the wider region. Wind gusts reached 40 miles (64 kilometers) per hour around the Great Lakes, according to news reports, and the wind chill dipped below 0 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 18 degrees Celsius) across the Upper Midwest, including in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and Chicago, Illinois. The wintry blast was short-lived, however, and temperatures warmed on December 14 as the coldest air shifted eastward.

The novel "The Fated Sky" by Mary Robinette Kowal was published for the first time in 2018. It's the second novel in the Lady Astronaut series and follows "The Calculating Stars".

Elma York serves on the route between the Earth and the Moon but during a return to Earth the spacecraft ends up off course. She realizes that things on the planet are complicated when a group of armed people kidnaps the crew. Those are Earth Firsters.

That experience has a positive outcome but Elma still finds herself in the midst of controversy when the first mission to Mars is set up. She's now known as the Lady Astronaut and is very often used as the face of the space program in public relations.

Ha, now you’re making me want to try and come up with examples.

Sam Winchester from Supernatural

Vin from Mistborn

Meg McCaffrey from The Trials of Apollo

Jessica Jones from Jessica Jones

Frodo from The Lord of the Rings

Aelin Ashryver Whitethorn Galathynius from Throne of Glass (and honestly most SJM characters are good representation in general, also I read a lot of fantasy, can you tell?)

Elma York from The Calculating Stars

Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender (he definitely has MANY symptoms of PTSD)

Apparently I can go on, which is a good thing. It means a lot for me to see myself in characters I love. And speaking on Crosshair, I definitely did not see any problems with his PTSD portrayal, which is fantastic. I actually have C-PTSD, and I have learned so much about all this from multiple types of trauma therapies. I’m glad I can use that knowledge to discuss characters I love like Crosshair, and I can hopefully use that knowledge to write him well in my fanfics.

(OP, sorry for derailing!)

Crosshair is fuckin selfish, he knew how to get to Tantiss THE WHOLE TIME, but withholds it because of “trauma”, which is an awful excuse, he reveals that he knows how he their once OMEGA gets captured, showing that he only cares about his squad, not his other brothers, he could have told Echo all about Rampart, and Echo, Rex, Gregor, and Howzer could have ran the entire mission to get Rampart and get to Tantiss earlier

Crosshair never changed, he is still the selfish bully that was introduced to us on Anaxes

While I respect your opinion, I disagree with your take that Crosshair has never changed. He is a very complicated character who has been through a lot. And he has changed. He has learned that loyalty belongs to those who will reciprocate it and treat him with respect.

To your point about him not saying anything do to trauma, I argue that it isn't an awful excuse. The mind is a truly powerful thing and when you are in constant survival mode, you will do things that others will raise eyebrows at. Crosshair DOES NOT want to go back at any cost. He was badly hurt physically and psychologically. From his perspective, withholding information will protect both himself and his squad from going back there. As someone who has pretty bad anxiety at times, I sympathize with him. I don't say that lightly.

To your point about Omega, yes he only really goes back for her. Omega is the one person throughout the entire show who always tried to understand him. Crosshair is a character driven by his loyalty to others, especially his brothers and Omega. When the person who is the literal light of his life gets taken, it makes sense that goes back for her.

To your point about him being selfish, I do think he is. His one and true loyalty will always be to his squad. But that doesn't mean he hasn't learned to work alongside his fellow brothers. He literally risked his life to save Mayday. And I firmly don't believe that S3 Crosshair would say "he's just another reg." He's grown from that. You're right that he could've just told Echo and Rex and leave the rest to them. But at the same time, I think it's worth looking at things from his perspective. He wants to avoid Tantiss and anything to do with it. If that means not saying a peep, then that's what he'll do.

At the end of the day, Crosshair is a very nuanced character. Is he selfish? Yes. But I don't think it's fair to say that he has never changed. He has come a long way since we first met him on Anaxes.
