Wrapped up the holiday weekend with @rianjohnson.bsky.social ‘s Wake Up Dead Man. Beautifully lit and filmed, and the characters were funny and empathetic and human. Loved it! See it in theaters if you can, but definitely catch it on Netflix.
I’m only partway through @lindaholmes.bsky.social’s “Back After This” but I’ve already decided that this is a strong contender for my next tattoo.
@maxgladstone.bsky.social Re: newsletter: Congrats on turning in the most recent projects, hope your brain de-mushifies soon! On another note: do you have a Patreon or platform other than Substack where your fans can support you directly?

A note that may be of interest: @torbooks.bsky.social has placed the ebook of The Calculating Stars on sale this month for $2.99. If you're interested in diving into The Lady Astronaut books, this may be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Replying to @pronounced-ing.bsky.social
Been thinking about this a lot (not tagging the sender, for their privacy). Most of us won't have the chance for for grand, capital-R Resistance heroics. But every one of us will have a thousand small choices to make about how to live our lives and where to draw lines. Use them well.
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 #booksky

Wondering if anyone I know is interested in this. Anyone at all. @zeecierranator.bsky.social , can you think of anyone?

@roxanegay.bsky.social not sure if you saw the impersonation account reposting all your stuff. I’ve reported but I don’t know how long it takes Bsky to take action. “roxgay.bsky.social”
@darkhorsecomics.bsky.social Is it possible to preorder FML by @kellysue.bsky.social on digital? Searching for FML on digital.darkhorse.com brings back no responses. :(

@scalzi.com, are you aware of any weirdness with the whatever.com RSS feed? I realized I hadn’t seen the last comfort watch and when I checked the site saw that I’ve actually missed several updates! The last one in my feed is Day 29, “The Nice Guys”

The demise of the #StarWars Galactic Starcruiser is not a surprise for a myriad of reasons, but certainly far swifter than I think anyone anticipated. I feel for the under-appreciated castmembers who poured their hearts into making the experience the best it could be.
You are up to date.
