Enjoying #Ravencon - my first one

I've made my pledge!

www.newyorker.com/news/the-led... makes me think of @nkjemisin.bsky.social and her "The City We Became"

A new short story from Pamela Love - "Run Cold" qb.foofaraw.press/run-cold

Toby's Dinner Theater puts on a great show and last night's "Rock of Ages" was no different

Found this song yesterday - music by a musician father, lyrics and story by 3-year-old daughter www.reddit.com/r/obscuremus...

Every year, I put in a proposal for a panel called "An Hour Of Your Life You'll Never Get Back: Five Old White Dudes Talk Condescendingly About Why Dune Is The Only Important Science Fiction Novel," but for some reason they never put it into the schedule. I'm being censored by the Worldcon Elites.

Done. Took three minutes. If you use Discord, tell them what you think.

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

Today is the very LAST day to double your gift to Locus this year! We are so grateful to everyone who has made this happen, Happy Holidays! Make a donation at bwc.io/locus2025 and it will be matched via our donors! All links in bio.

Movies series about mysteries keep running into the same problem - the first movie's title is appropriate for the first movie, but the series is then stuck with that title theme. (1/2)

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.

My first published story isn't online any more - but I found it on the Internet Archive - forgive the long URL, but here's "Does Earth Have a Future?" which might be more on-topic this year than in 2020 web.archive.org/web/20240227...

Pamela's latest story is available today only at gohavok.com “If the Zoo Fits” is a science fiction comedy. Hope you enjoy it

Available for free today - Pamela Love's story “Z Job” at gohavok.com

@scalzi.com: Was just discussing Starter Villain with my book club. Are we correct in seeing a reference to Atlas Shrugged in this passage: "Harden’s grandfather nearly bankrupted the company with an ill-fated proprietary alloy that was marketed as stronger and lighter than steel."?

"Three Kobolds in a Trenchcoat" is the filk song/cartoon I didn't know I was looking for youtu.be/QsLN542nvGg?...

Just saw a fun movie (brand new - from 2012!) "The History of Future Folk" (available on Youtube here www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2oK... - all about a couple of aliens who come to Earth to invade, but prefer to be folk singers instead. Highly recommended

Wondering if anyone ever wrote a story about some strange thing that happened in the news lately? Check out "There's A Story About That" forum.tasat.org

Found a 2020 #Balticon talk of mine on YouTube "Two Kinds of Explanations: Those that Erase History and Those that Preserve It" www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM3N...

I joined Bluesky yesterday. I'm an engineer and writer; he's a link to a couple of my favorite stories: "Better than Stealing" www.adastrasf.com/better-than-... and "Every Spring the Flowers Bloom" matterpress.com/journal/2021...
