I read. Mostly scifi and fantasy with a special place in my heart for short stories and old stories.
I'm bad at social media 🤷

Props to @annaleen.bsky.social for making me think "man, I hate humans" mid-way through Automatic Noodles. It's been a while since I've had such a visceral reaction to a book. Loving this so far! 📚 🪐💙

Seems like a great idea. No way that dimming the sun could impact agriculture
I don't know chaps I just think that might be the kind of thing we want a global consensus on.
UK scientists are about to attempt to dim the Sun

people only become left handed if the mirror baby crawls out when nobody is looking and pushes the normal baby into the mirror dimension. it’s a sign of bad parenting

I was planning on finishing a book tonight. Instead I spent the last 3 hours adding new and upcoming books to my TBR.
How many books? I'm glad you asked. 28
For reference last year I read 121 books. My TBR is basically a hydra. #booksky

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.

"But this barista family, whose selfless gift has brought solace to so many, must now confront the shadows of their own mysterious past—one that may cost them everything."
Are they making this a thriller? I don't remember this shadowy past. Excited for more SFF adaptations, though!

Just finished "Still Water" by Zhang Ran, translated by Jay Zhang in the April @clarkesworldmagazine.com. A story told in two POVs with some incredible quotes and reflections on death, love and what it means to be a parent. This is one that stays with you

All of this ‘recreation’ is a grift. Someone took a wolf and inserted some maybe dire wolf genes to make a worse wolf. It is not the extinct beast ij form nor can it behave like one nor have any natural ecosystem to belong to. It’s a shill for investors.
Dire wolves were not close relatives of gray wolves. They last shared a common ancestor more than 5 million years ago. What Colossal has done is make something new and slapped a dire wolf sticker on it, as if an organism equals a hypothetical genome.

This time it is Jon Del Arroz again via the "Fandom Pulse" substack but the target is a new one: The Locus Award1. The Locus Award is open to anybody to vote in but subscribers to Locus Magazine have votes that count for double. This extra weighting for members has discouraged slate attempts in the past. Fandom Pules has already put out a Dragon Award nomination slate2 but as I've discussed before, it is not clear whether how many people nominate a work has much of a connection to the Dragon Award finalists.

This didnt go where I thought it would. Not that I really thought much. But it didn't go there. Climate change, dark physics and portals. What a combo.

Finished two very different books yesterday: Cauldron, book 6 in Jack McDevitt's The Academy series and Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. Enjoyed them both immensely, 4/5 for Cauldron and 5/5 for Wuthering Heights (Heathcliff was so deliciously villainous!)
