For fans of The Expanse, I highly recommend The First Sister by Linden A. Lewis.

It has a similar world building of a near-future space opera where humans have colonized space (including venus and mercury), where we follow three primary political factions (the geans of earth and mars, the icarii of venus and mercury, and the asters of the asteroid belt) in a political thriller in the midst of an ongoing war and inter-factional conflict. Gripping plot, entrancing characters, and stellar plot twists, I can't recommend this book enough and I can't wait to read the rest of the trilogy.

the first sister was disappointing, actually. the worldbuilding is so strong on a conceptual level but the writing doesn't do many of the themes or plots justice, and almost all of the characters felt flat/one-dimensional except maybe hiro during their voice recordings. the "twist" wasn't well executed at all; even surprise reveals should have previous establishment and foreshadowing involved in its buildup.

#the first sister #the first sister trilogy #i don't know if i'll be reading the sequels honestly #the most interesting part of the world (the sisterhood) was somehow treated as the most boring? like #how are we skipping past this very interesting pseudoreligious organization so quickly #books

yellowfang, i wish you were here. my sister is dying.

ID in alt and under cut

ID: digital painting of Cinderpelt and Brightpaw from Warriors. They are two cats curled around each other. Brightpaw, a ginger-and-white cat, is badly injured with cobwebs as bandages around her face and other injuries. She is unconscious and lying on her side in a moss nest. Cinderpelt, a gray cat, is curled around her with her tail over Brightpaw's back, looking at her with concern. They are in a shaded den surrounded by autumnal ferns, with a pool of water in the corner, and a strip of bright sunlight illuminating their faces. end ID.

#i was thinking about how. brightpaws injury is like the first really difficult patient cinderpelt has on her own after yellowfang dies #and its her sister #but also i went back to read dangerous path and they seem to have. forgot. that they are sisters #like cinderpelt is pretty calm about the whole thing...#seems like a huge missed opportunity for drama #graphic novel adaptation please hear me.#warriors #warrior cats #cinderpelt #brightheart #art #2024 #wc

Being a “Fun Fact !” kind of autistic is all fun and games until you get halfway through sharing an interesting tidbit and realize that it probably wasn’t appropriate to share in polite company and now you have to deal with the consequences :(

#autism #neurodivergent #adhd #fun facts #GOD I’m such an idiot #anyways now a 10 year old is out there looking up swear words online and it’s all my fault :(#I got so excited by the fact that I knew a fun fact #that I didn’t stop to think that maybe not everyone knows that fun fact for a reason :(#it’s like explaining how to successfully bury a body at a book club #or explaining the dangers of Scientology to your sister’s boyfriend the first time you meet him #or debating gay sex positions with your best friend in front of your mom #no matter how much I wish to be a beacon of knowledge in this world #sometimes there are things others just don’t want to know #and consciously that’s valid but the autism ? I does not care

I've been playing Splatoon since the very first game. And seeing my playable character in the first game reappear and grow in Splatoon 2 and 3, makes my heart clench with bittersweet joy because I grew up with them.

Splatoon grew and I also grew and I couldn't be happier to grow up together.

Thank you for the maritime memories.
