Relatedly, was browsing the (very excellent) shelves at my in-laws’ house this morning and came upon an old Ace Double (Vance x2). I’m glad Saga isn’t trying to bring back the cigarette ads.

Great to catch @sentencebender.bsky.social and @maryrobinettekowal.com (via video) at Spotty Dog in Hudson last night, reading from Red Star Hustle and Apprehension (the two halves of their new Saga Double)!

A magazine asked Ursula to write about a book that changed her life. "A book? One book?" she wrote on her blog.

It's true. First visit to a hot spring in Iceland, and suddenly it was just @embley-hulk.bsky.social and me in a tub with Bjork. Emily recognized her tattoo (and had seen her change out of a cartoonishly large orange jumpsuit in the changing room).
also, say hi to Bjork if you see her (which is what someone once said to @jedediahberry.bsky.social jokingly, and then he and Emily did, indeed, run into her first thing at a hot springs)
