Hard to believe I haven't done so yet, but it's time to start making my way through the Hainish Cycle. I've only read LeGuin's Earthsea trilogy, which blew me away, many years ago. Time to explore the rest. Long overdue. Looking forward to it.

BeijingPalmer@beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 11mo agoan interesting subtopic! which shows/movies are beloved by the profession for Getting It Right! Lawyers famously love MY COUSIN VINNIE, doctors I believe love SCRUBS, apparently Aussie barristers are surprisingly fond of RAKE's depiction of some aspects of the law.
Up at the crack of dawn today in Chicago to see the incredible sunrise off the lake. Joined unexpectedly by a large crowd of young people doing the same. Did not have to run back inside afterward to escape the crime.
Backyard fountain has been a big hit with the bees this summer. Lined up like it's a drive-in burger and shake joint.

Do. Not. Disturb. The. Mysterious. Ancient. Rune-inscribed. Skull-adorned. Ring. Found. In. The. Idyllic. Countryside. Seriously, there's a whole book about this. And movies. Long ones!
It’s almost like none of this was ever remotely about protecting Jews
Jacob Kornbluh@jacobkornbluh.bsky.social · last yr.SCOOP: The Antisemitism Awareness Act — up for vote in Senate committee tomorrow — now has a religious liberty clause to protect ‘Jews killed Jesus’ statements by Christian conservatives.
