All these girls are dressed the same, with a military look, and are working together. These aren't 9/11 mourners, they're 9/11 deniers!

Adrienne@adrienneleigh.bsky.social · 19h ago15. I wanted to pick something that isn't obvious, so: THE PLANETBREAKER'S SON is a novella by @nmamatas.bsky.social that is like nothing else you've ever read (and yet exists solidly in the context of all that came before it). It's nominally about uploaded people in a virtual universe; but really…
Hunks of a good review in the latest Interzone of my (frankly, under-reviewed) novel KALIVAS! OR, ANOTHER TEMPEST from, which you should all buy from this obscure link I prefer to amazon: indiepubs.com/products/kal...

Derf Backderf@derfbackderf.bsky.social · 2d agoMATEWAN is film that all of you should watch. It's a masterpiece that's more relevant now than it was in 1987.
Palestinian trade unionists have long called on workers worldwide to refuse arms shipments to Israel. Dockworkers answered—from Belgium and Sweden to Italy. Now unions in six countries are organizing for October 30.

He's just talking pop-science gibberish. The contemporary Four Humors are just dopamine, cortisone, oxytocin and serotonin. All behavior is explained by too much or too little of one of them lol.

It seems relevant that the thing Isaiah is being sent to do in that passage is to deliver a prophecy of doom to his own people for having fallen away from the path of righteousness. So if these guys were like, Isaiah, that would be robustly bad news for...the United States.

I will keep fighting to get this book out there: my ex-publishers might have stolen my earnings, the publishing elite might assume it's a load of wank, but I know that when people actually read it, they often deeply love it, & eventually enough of those people might exist to ensure its survival.
Abby@yabbya.bsky.social · 2w agoI'm with you on this. Everything Will Swallow You is a desert island book. It's so nice seeing folks receiving their paperbacks and knowing what a treat they're in for. It brought me back to recreational reading after a long time away from it, and (fess time) I'm a blimming librarian. So grateful.
