I want to talk a bit about how historians go about understanding historical cultures and worldviews. History, after all, is more than just dates and names, more than who did what to who when. A good historian can, to a degree, inhabit the worldview of their subjects. But how? 1/

I dropped an entire surprise novella this week at @reactorsff.bsky.social. It's the work of years of planning, recipe-testing, storybuilding, & artistic collaboration.

This is a thread. I will be telling you the story of the perfect crime, which I witnessed today at church. I will not be identifying the perpetrator. I am many things (containing, as they say, multitudes) but I am not a snitch. Their secret is safe with me.
