Waking up at Carn Ingli this morning and making my way down to Newport.
Finished my day of hiking by pitching up my tent at Carn Ingli. They say that if you spend a night here you will wake up either mad or a poet, so let’s check in tomorrow morning 😉🤔
Castell Henllys Iron Age #Hillfort. This place was fully excavated and then partially reconstructed using authentic materials and experimental archaeology methods. Interesting place.
Pentre Ifan Burial #Cairn. Been here many times but it is always special #neolithic #megalithic

Had a week away from home and this was the chilli harvest when I came back 😁🌶️
Time for 2021! Thanks for all the 2020 recs, you can expect a shortlist of those early March. For now, what queer SFF out in 2021 (the year we thought Tr*mp was gone lolsob) did you really like? Like A- or above. See my starting list in the pictures and alt text. Please offer idea, please RT!
Eddie Clark@dreddieclark.bsky.social · 6mo agoSo what I want to do is, Gaylactic Spectrum style, ask folks to think back to the 6 years the award has not run, and think of what longform queer speculative fiction (novel or novella) you liked for each year from 2020-2025.
