I was stumped at the bookstore today, and I need help. A young man came in looking for indigenous American science fiction. Not horror, of which there is a lot, and which we don't have. Not fantasy, of which there is some, and which we do have. Science fiction. Not so much.

the real issue with the internet in 2026 is nobody talks about Domo-kun anymore.

Today is the day the story There Will Come Soft Rain is set. An amazing and heartbreaking work of fiction for our modern age. Read it here:

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)
Book 81: Murder at Haven's Rock (Haven’s Rock 1) by Kelley Armstrong. I haven’t read the last book of the series that this is a spinoff of (Rockton/City of the Lost) but it held together despite that. An absolutely riveting thriller and I love the main characters and their dynamic.
Different versions of Dior’s 1949 ‘Venus’ dress survive in collections around the world. Each image offers an alternative perspective, aspects of construction that I hadn’t really noticed before.

The bad-faith AI-booster argument about artists being “gatekeepers” is so facile that it really doesn’t deserve any air. Those are not serious people, and your time and energy for yourself are too valuable to expend on them!

John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 2d agoEvery now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude

The shaman of Bad Dürrenberg are the remains of a 25-35 year old woman, who was buried 8600 to 9000 year ago in Germany. Around her, were the remains of an extraordinary head-dress, made from the bones and teeth of different animals such as deer, wild boar, crane and turtle.

Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.
Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 6d agoPeople still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.

Book 80: Inkpot Gods (Alchemical Journeys 4) by Seanan McGuire. This might be my fave McGuire series. I’m fascinated by alchemical lore & how she’s integrated it is so well done, esp the way the twins are written. I need to catch up on the Up & Under series to explore the many layers of this one.
