Writers today: Oh no I can't head hop. That's bad! Hmm is this reference too obscure? Better not make it just in case! Herman Melville: Gonna write 15 pages of random shit that popped into my head, future scholars can research it. And the next chapter? I'm gonna write it in 2nd person, just cuz :)

I have to wonder if contemporary sci-fi is so unpopular because the current mode is a kind of centrist liberalism that hardly anyone (except I guess Chuck Schumer) wants. It is an ideology that has failed to meet the needs of the current moment and most of us are leaving it behind.

The crime of capitalism is not the existence of the Crystal Shrek, but the fact that the Crystal Shrek is not available to all who would benefit from it.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

I find the entire genre of "tens of thousands of words minutely refuting every point of an abuse clam" intrinsically unpersuasive. If any of the evidence were actually damning they'd just highlight that instead of doing a tedious Gish Gallop.

I worry that as we narrow the range of what we can talk about, think about, spend our time on, our ability to make expansive art and language shrinks, too, and so does our ability then to solve big problems and think creatively - all of which is the terrible point of fascism

It's Ursula Le Guin's day of death. Every year, I have a lot to say and every year I quote her instead. "The Revolution is in the individual spirit, or it is nowhere. It is for all, or it is nothing. If it is seen as having any end, it will never truly begin.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

The crazy thing about including validity in the construction of gender, is how it then orients the entirety of how you define yourself around other people’s approval.

In other words, Martin is stuck partly because he can't escape a model of prose that emulates television or film, written as a series of real-time scenes. Which is a challenging way to write a fantasy epic with a plot stretching over years.

The key bits are about how Martin had the idea of skipping over five years, and why he abandoned the idea. What's interesting is that Martin seems unable to figure out how to summarize, go back and forth in time, or sum up months or years in other than a moment-to-moment way:

Some discussion of the Zeno's-Arrow-like inability of George R. R. Martin's Ice and Fire books to reach their finish line. There's an interview with Martin I've never forgotten because in part it touches on one of my pet peeves: novels paced a certain way, written exclusively in "scenes":

When I was 23, I saw a bunch of really cute velvet furniture on the side of the road, totally nice. Took it in and a year later a friend’s new gf came to my house and it turns out I’d stolen her entire living room while she was moving.
