"Much of science as we conceptualize it now was built on top of the framings of Verne’s era. Revisiting the exuberance, obliviousness, chauvinism, and optimism of Verne’s science-related worldview offers a useful reminder of where some of our own narratives come from." @mitpress.bsky.social

Jules Verne’s Empty Dream of Spaceflight

In “From the Earth to the Moon,” scientific advancement is treated as destiny — but no one quite asks why.

Hey, I'm Kemi! I'm a sci-fi writer, grad student, shortbread enthusiast, and amateur kazooist from California. I write queer multicultural science fiction, sometimes with a dash of horror. Here are my books! bookshop.org/beta-search?...

Cover of The Splinter in the Sky, by Andis Reinbergs. A Black woman with dark skin and short hair in a green tunic faces a huge diamond-shaped structure (the Splinter), behind which float stars and planets.Cover of This World Is Not Yours by Timo Noack. A white man in a biohazard suit and way too many teeth grins nefariously into the distance. Bioluminescent alien plants provide some background lightingCover of The King Must Die by Eleonor Piteira. A Black woman with dark skin and gray hair in a long rust-orange tunic stands before a crowd of sword-wielding ghosts under an alien sky (a huge sun, two moons, rings), holding a staff.

Hailey just needs to make it to October when her new scholarship and stipend kick in... meanwhile she's helping her mom recover from cancer treatments and trying to get out of debt. Can you kick in $5 please?

#ICYM earlier this month I made this thread with some info about being queer in Brazil to help #crowdfund for my mom's cancer treatment. We need $720 by the week if you can help by sharing and/or contributing ♥️ #trans #mutualaid #helpsky

It's release day for THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS! Garrodigh is a wild dragon who pretends to be tame so he can eat for free at the local dragon-riding academy. But what's waiting for him up there is far stranger than he imagines. I'm so proud of my dragon for finally escaping into the world!

Thanks for a kind soul who donated $50 yesterday, we're just a little behind 1k! Rent is overdue, and we need to pay ASAP, so if you'd be so kind to reskeet and/or contribute with $5 or $10, that'd be great!! ♥️ #mutualaid #helpsky #trans #LGBTQIA+ #rent

It's Sunday and we haven't get past $1k yet :( We need to reach this goal by the next 3 days, can you help? Next week my mom will start her radio, and honestly I'm really anxious to finally see her well. Every $ helps a lot! ♥️ #mutualaid #helpsky #cancer #transcrowdfund

I do have the motherfucking time (not really, but I'm making time for it), and I'm doing it myself on my own platform (since Reactor ignored my pitch 🙃). I would have loved to be paid for the work, but at this point it's public service so I'm doing it for free 👇

Hailey is wonderful — she's done so much for the trans/travesti community in Brazil and she's a beacon to the world. Cancer is the fucking worst and people should not have to ask the internet for help affording lifesaving treatment. Please do help if you can. The exchange rate makes your $$ go far!

Hailey Kaas - Cancer fund ($520/$750)@transqueerfem.bsky.social · last mo.

$660/$1500! We need this by this weekend, can you chip in $5 or $10? ♥️ You can also help by boosting this post to reach more ppl! In the thread below I explain a little about my mom's #cancer treatment and other things about me! #trans #transcrowdfund #mutualaid #helpsky #solidarity

@kameronhurley.com Hello! This is out of the blue but I'm a huge fan of the Nev stories and I was wondering if I'd happened to miss any? So far I've read (and loved) "Corpse Soldier," "Elephants and Corpses," "The Vault of Mercenary Children," and "The Wizard in the Tower." Thanks for writing them!
