Locus Magazine is a vital resource for writers - and a great place for readers to learn of new writers and fiction; I read it every month, taking note of new markets - and of works to put on my to-be-read stack

I've been bingeing @hugogirlpodcast.bsky.social for months and I've never replied with my most important deets - my history with Moby Dick. I read it in HS in 1982 or so. In spite of my teacher's suggestion, I read all the chapters (whale-centered exposition is the best exposition) and loved it.
