They say a picture tells a thousand words - and this one definitely does.

I found it unexpectedly today while in search of another image and it stopped me in my tracks.

Smiling pregnant woman in military uniform being promoted by another woman and a man, who are both putting new rank slides onto her shirt, in front of an aircraft.

A teeny tiny blog post with an update on a teeny tiny thing that has made me very tired. (Content warning: cancer, no graphic details, and everything will be fine.)

Hey if you’re going to octocon in Dublin this Saturday I’ll be there and doing sketches (a4 headshots €50) and talking comics. Or if you fancy a preshow commission (slightly more time taken) and I can it before I go down!

I've been banging on about #TheMinistryForTheFuture for ages. Luckily I'd been warned about the first chapter. Horrific but really hits home. We have the technology to at least start fighting climate change! But how to make governments and mega rich get real? Well.... 🔥
Really enjoyed this pod, ta.

I am so glad!

I think this is one of those books where hearing a discussion about it won't spoiler it, if you wanted to listen first. It has a non-standard structure, so is more robust against being spoilered than most.

And of course, the patrons-only episode will be going live tomorrow too. As it's the delicious build-up to Halloween, we discuss The Mummy (1999) and it's probably the most quotable episode we've ever recorded. I laughed so much while editing it. www.patreon.com/c/starshipal...

Episode 7 of Starship Alexandria goes live tomorrow. We discuss The Ministry of The Future by Kim Stanley Robinson. The end blooper is one of my favourites, mostly because making @aptshadow.bsky.social dissolve into giggles with the opening line of the show made me so happy! starshipalexandria.com

I guess it's Prime Day(s) again, so here are some options if you'd rather not help Jeff Bezos grow even richer. 🧵

First, a couple of Starter Packs of Indie Bookstores to support. (If you are or know of an indie bookstore w/ a Bluesky account that's not listed, let me know.)
