I’m keeping my hope local— the small interactions & honesty with people at the places i work; the rumors of awareness & action in my city; my friends & colleagues.

Everything else needs to prove itself; news orgs, politicians, etc.

Asimov's actions, and the tolerance-up-to-celebration of it, absolutely drove women out of field and out of fandom, and made it easier for others in the field, writers, editors and fans, to follow his lead for decades. Asimov pinching asses was not about his work. It kept women and their work out.

Special mention of the Gardner Dozois Best SF short story anthologies as a way to dip into modern genre-breaking styles.

Exquisitely curated for decades.
