#SundayReading In academic reading, the first text is still Jones, Martin, and Wolf's edited collection, The Palgrave Handbook of Women and Science since 1660. However, the end is in sight--I'm on the second last chapter.

Groundhog Day, Palm Springs, and Triangle. All of the characters are stuck in a time loop at the same time and didn’t know it., and are having VERY different experiences.

#SundayReading This week I read... pretty much just a little bit more of the things I read last week. Between starting a new term and maybe getting a little too into Octopath Traveller 2, the reading time was a bit less than typical. Still, we move on.

Even apart from the contemporary context, I re-read some Socrates recently, and even the ur-example of informed debate kind of seems like him browbeating a strawman into agreement.

"Resolved: Debate is stupid" by Aisling McCrea in The Outline from 2018 "Wow, that is correct and there is no counterargument. Debate is indeed very stupid". theoutline.com/post/6709/de...

#SundayReading In academic reading this week, the top spot goes to, as usual, The Palgrave Handbook of Women and Science since 1660, edited by Claire G. Jones, Alison E. Martin, and Alexis Wolf.

First day of a new term! Good luck to anyone teaching today!

I was 2/3 through a mind palace scene when I realized the sidekick character's name was Crick. Crick/Watson, we're in a Holmes tribute. Got me again, Octopath 2.

#SundayReading This week, I'm kind of in a holding pattern--a lot of books at almost done. One book that is still not almost done however, is my academic reading, The Palgrave Handbook of Women and Science since 1660. I'm past half, as I'm 400+ pages in, but that's a long sight from the end yet.

#SundayReading Academically, I am still, still reading The Palgrave Handbook of Women and Science since 1660. I've past the halfway point, though, and learned an important lesson about how long it takes to read a 600+ page scholarly work.

The game over screen for Ghostbusters II for the NES. Didn't know the plot, but I knew that painting guy with the glowing red eyes was scary.

The best thing you can do right now is spread the word so Laird Barron gets a kidney. The next-best thing you can do is buy Laird’s amazing books. I don’t care if they’re his Bad Hand titles. I don’t care where you get ‘em. Show him all the love.

To follow the trend, my first five steam games: 1. The Path (2009) 2. Cthulhu Saves the world (2011) 3. Shining Force II (2011) 4. Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (2011) 5. Depths of Peril (2011). Never did play 4 or 5

#SundayReading On the academic side, I'm still reading the Palgrave Handbook of Women and Science since 1660; just read an interesting chapter by Amanda M Caleb on the 19th c use of Darwin's theory to oppose women in science (or learning in general), and the counter-arguments.

Mark Carney won on anti-Trump fear. Now, his government is rolling back progressive policies in favour of tax cuts and austerity. #canpoli @karlnerenberg.bsky.social rabble.ca/politics/can...

Stats from ENGL 208B: Science Fiction! First up, least favorite text. If anyone can recommend a replacement (novella featuring aliens) for Binti, I'm all ears.

Some of my students' picks from my game studies course this term:

The base Modge Podge (Outdoor) sealant (much heavier) and paint is on! Tomorrow the final sealant coat (trying a poly eurothane wood sealer). Really hoping I can stop these pesky air bubbles. #portrait #art #sculpture #sculpting #clay

Me: "See, the problem with Murdoch Mysteries is that it's set in the 1900s, it has constant historically important guest stars, and it has murders, but because it wants to keep a pretense of historical accuracy, the history folk aren't committing murders. I suggest an arc where Freud slaughters--"

#SundayReading Academically, I am still chugging through the very long but very interesting Palgrave Handbook of Women and Science since 1660. I've started the Cultures of Science section, which looks to be a little more depth over breadth than some of the earlier sections.

Encino Man is basically Brave New World without the dystopia. Think about it.

Across Canada, extreme heat causes physical and mental stresses that lead to a documented rise in violence. That includes intimate partner violence, @rebeccaga0.bsky.social reports, which threatens women, girls and vulnerable communities the most. thenarwhal.ca/heat-domesti...

It's my birthday today and I'm indulging in my annual tradition. I'm looking for recommendations: things to read, things to watch, things to play, etc. Anything you've enjoyed that you'd recommend to someone else. More obscure, the better!

#SundayReading. Academically, I am still making way through the Palgrave Handbook of Women and Science since 1660. I just finished the chapter by Jones "Women at the Royal Society Soiree Before the Great War" which is kinda the Met gala for science, and I'm down with that.

MY CABBAGES!

Red Rising. Empire of Silence. The city that would eat the world. The will of the many. I've been reading a lot of speculative fiction recently about overthrowing class systems, and the moral way of doing that. And a lot about doing that from a fantaay school.

#SundayReading Academically, I'm still reading through the Palgrave Handbook of Women and Science since 1660, edited by Jones, Martin, and Wolf. I'm in the second section, which is less focused on individuals, and more professional orgs promoting women in science.

#SundayReading Academically, I'm still where I will likely be for a long time, reading the Palgrave Handbook of Women and Science since 1660, edited by Jones, Martin, and Wolf. I finished with Margaret Mason, read a chapter on navigator Janet Taylor, and currently finishing the first section.

#SundayReading Academically, I'm reading the Palgrave Handbook of Women and Science since 1660, edited by Jones, Martin, and Wolf. I read through Brandie R. Siegfried's chapter on Margaret Cavendish, Leigh Whaley's on D'Arconville and De Breteuil, and I'm going through Wolf's chapter on Mason.

Ten authors by whom I've read more than five books: Ben Aaronovitch John Allison Leigh Bardugo Robert Jackson Bennett Ed Brubaker Jim Butcher Mike Carey Glen Cook Peter David Sebastian de Castell

Sharing in case anyone missed it. I wrote a piece combining early game studies theory with Silver Age/current day DC Comics, via Jimmy Olsen's costuming shenanigans. I think we don't talk enough about how stories, like games, can be about play too.

Just 27 hours left to hop on board for some REAL HERO SHIT! If you've been thinking about it, now is the time! You can get 2 volumes when you back 'Harder Than It Looks', even if you've already backed the 1st one! Give it to a friend and get them in the party! 😈 www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...

Check it out! An essay on Jimmy Olsen, player of games, by yours truly!

The thing I love about Gambit is that in the past decade, he's gone entirely from mysterious thief to Wife Guy with Cats, and this caption is still 100% true except with a "...except Rogue and my cats" at the end.

#SundayReading On the academic side, I finished Joy Sanchez-Taylor's Diverse Futures: Science Fiction and Authors of Color. I really liked the last two chapters--one on indigenous knowledge and sci fi, and a conclusion that looked more into the broader fandom and publishing history.

#SundayReading Academically, I'm about half way through Joy Sanchez-Taylor's Diverse Futures: Science Fiction and Authors of Color. Finished the chapter on race, genetics and science, and now I'm reading about post-apocalypses. Good stuff!

#SundayReading. (Feels a bit weird to be doing this weekly thread when the world is in its current state. But doing something "normal" felt important too.) Anyway, it's mostly holding patterns this week.

#SundayReading Academically, I've started Joy Sanchez-Taylor's "Diverse Futures: Science Fiction and Authors of Color." I'm through the intro, and looking forward to getting into it.

#SundayReading On the academic side of things, I finished Allan J. Mitchell's Instrumentality: On Technical Objects and Orientations in the Little Middle Ages. It's an excellent balance of concise and informative, and makes strong connections to the modern day.

What superheroes would absolutely have their own theme songs? Booster Gold, of course. Ms Marvel. Martian Manhunter, but only because he learned how to be a human from TV and got some points confused.

My Phoenix t shirt is fading fast, but in a way that kind of moves it from cosmic force to eldritch horror, so I'm into it

"The phrase 'and this Dante do' likely refers to a quote or dialogue from the Devil May Cry video game series." AI explainer I can't turn off, I think I can pretty much guarantee that's not what Ray Bradbury was referring to.

#SundayReading Academically, I started On Technical Objects and Orientations in the later Middle Ages by J. Allan Mitchell; he's basically looking into the degree that the people of the Middle Ages valued knowledge created by tools, something we tend to attribute to later in history. Good stuff.
