Two beautiful and life-affirming books coming out today: 1) A FAR BETTER THING by @hgparry.bsky.social, which answers the question “what if A TALE OF TWO CITIES had faery changelings in it?” and in doing so makes a work of profound sadness and hope us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Oh it’s Forbidden Planet. But also, my dad introduced me to all the old SF writers and old SF movies and created my love of SF, which has absolutely determined the course of my professional life

“The most anti-capitalist protest is to care for another and to care for yourself. To take on the historically feminized and therefore invisible practice of nursing, nurturing, caring.

I knew, from watching people sit in jails for years because they couldn’t make bail, that the slowness of our justice system is weaponized to coerce and terrorize everyday. It’s still upsetting to see it, every time.

Care, by the way, is not the same as civility, or bipartisanship, or welcome, or non-disruptive tactics.
