Wow, the new Spiritbox album is so good! 🇨🇦

Check out Navigational Entanglements! A great novella from one of my favourite writers.

If any Hugo Awards voters enjoyed Lower Decks, it would be very cool to get a nod!

Since I am 1 week away from unemployment, if you or someone you know needs a music video this year... please ask me. I enjoy it and I want to do more of it. Also I need to prove to the bluesky libs that I'm not a radical leftist TV writer... I also make films

I have a story in this but I’m just getting to read my author copy and it’s a real treat. An absolute smorgasbord of the weird and the fantastical.

In today's post, I talk about one of my favorite shows to air in the last 20 years... the show that my own daughter asks to see the most... and convey why you (yes you!) should watch #StarTrekLowerDecks

Rhys is the #1 hype person for this series and it always makes me so happy. They both came out in the pandemic and so they were challenging releases, but I love our angry, stabby queers in space. They deserved more flowers. I wish more people knew about them.

Elder Race

Elder Race by @aptshadow.bsky.social is on Prime Reading at the moment, so I borrowed it on a whim, and it was lovely. A great blend of epic fantasy and sci-fi, and a great story about language (including a great little segment of direct "translation"). torpublishinggroup.com/elder-race/ #booksky

In the Shadow of the Ship eBook Subterranean Press creates readable art, publishing limited editions and groundbreaking original works of science fiction, fantasy, and horror.

Very much enjoyed In The Shadow of The Ship, a new novella by @aliettedebodard.com

Read all of Stormlight Archive for the first time last year. Enjoyed the series but it took up a _lot_ of reading time.
Looking forward to reading more widely this year. Next up is @aliettedebodard.com’s “In the Shadow of the Ship” from the great Xuya universe.

Haven’t seen enough talk about Alien Clay by @aptshadow.bsky.social so, let’s talk.

✔️ Limits of academic dissent

✔️ Trademark themes re: empathy as a biological imperative

✔️ Nuanced ecological speculation in a thoroughly alien biome

✔️ Superb audiobook performance

✔️ A 2024 fave

I work in visual effects. We work crazy hours under difficult conditions for movies that make billions and yet we are “ruining movies” with our work. I went on a YouTube show to illustrate the human side of our work, that computers don’t create visual effects. People do.

Text above cover says: ‘“Karen Lord weaves a complex story of first contact from a unique perspective that is warm, engaging, and wildly original.
