Ok, so you can't make it to Flights of Foundry this year. BUT YOU CAN! If you register, you get access to everything that isn't a reading, which, lemme tell you, is a LOT. 205 non-reading sessions. Pay what you can and join us!

This year you can replay non-reading sessions! You can replay whether you missed it the first time around or just want to grab those cool recommendations you didn't have time to write down. Access lasts for 30 days. This is only for registered attendees though: flights-of-foundry.org/registration/

"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.

Great news! Physio's working. I'm hoping to return to writing soon. Not so great news. Physio is expensive & so are my cancer meds. I'm barely able to afford both. That means bills, new glasses etc. are on the back burner. If you could help, that would be great. www.gofundme.com/f/help-r-s-a...
