Theatre artist and educator. Writer. Photographer. Word lover. I hide in my brain a lot; until I don't.
I just finished a weekend binge of @older.bsky.social's Mossa and Pleiti audiobooks. These characters are the heirs to Holmes and Watson we need. They are SO human. Their relationship is so real - brittle in the night of Pleiti's brain, resilient in the bright of their shared affection. READ THEM!

If you're mad and find yourself yelling that you want someone launched into the Sun, take a moment, calm yourself, and remember that it takes a lot less Delta v to launch them out of the Solar System instead.
You can be mad, but that's no excuse to be inefficient with propellant.

Folks! You have to read Death of the Author by @nnedi.bsky.social . The story within the story... The social commentary... And the main character's strength, vulnerability, wit, and human complexity. Just read it.

How could any voter leave Ichiro off their hall of fame ballot? He deserved to be unanimous.
