There's a new Expanse game coming! The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is described as a Mass Effect-like video game from Owlcat Games. This looks really, really cool, and I can't wait to play it. transfer-orbit.ghost.io/the-expanse-...

Book 20 of 2025: Swedish Machines: Sunset at Zero Point by Simon Stålenhag. This was a glorious read: his trademark beautiful artwork, coupled with a heartbreaking queer story about two young men who can’t seem to align despite their attraction to one another.

John Scalzi’s novel Redshirts came out on this day in 2012. I really enjoyed this one, and a couple of years ago on its 10th anniversary, I wrote a bit about it: transfer-orbit.ghost.io/meta-stories...

I’ve got a new piece up on @clarkesworldmagazine.com! It’s a history of how we discovered Jupiter and how science fiction authors depicted it over the years. Fun fact I learned: it was a science fiction author who coined the term “gas giant”! Read it here: clarkesworldmagazine.com/liptak_06_25/

Happy Pride! This is one of my favorite pictures of me in costume ever: it was taken while I was marching with the Green Mountain Squad during the 2019 Pride parade in Burlington, Vermont. This was such a fun event: I think this was the loudest and most excited I’ve seen a crowd.
