Thanks to Violet Affleck’s public comment, pretty much every media outlet of note in the world is now writing about masks and Long COVID… even the New York Times!

I just want folk from elsewhere, who can get them, to know that they are our herd immunity 😷 And not to tell UK folk off for not getting it, as that is a sore point with most of us

Alien Clay by @aptshadow.bsky.social is a timely parable about the tension between scientific exploration and top-down government control.
One imagines that Lysenko would have been at home in the novel's government … as would many of our politicians.

If you get a vaccine dose now, you’ll be at peak immunity in four weeks. The more people have better immunity, the less transmission during the con. That’s good for everyone. Doesn’t replace masking. But reinforces it.

Also: the act of reading compresses the act of writing temporally. I mean, we typically read at 200-400 words per minute, but we create at more like 1000-2000 words per day: 5-10 minutes' reading. That hour you spent sweating over a paragraph? Is just 30 seconds to your reader.

What strikes me about the Foundation novels is how pedestrian friendly Trantor is. Gaal Dornick arrives by spaceship, but mostly gets around the planet on foot and elevator. In the prequels, Hari Seldon takes public transit everywhere. (It's a stand-in for Asimov's experience of New York City.)

We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.

Have been struggling with a blog post about this book. There’s so much to say, and I want to offer a perspective that’s more nuanced than “this book is just so fucking good.” I feel unable to write a review good enough to be worthy of the book it’s reviewing.

This one is a bit of a hot-take about minority language rights in SFF that I sort of know some folks might strongly disagree with or even take umbrage.
But we're generally interested in other perspectives and arguments on this matter.

There isn’t a Worldcon in Ny right now. But with more states bringing in these dumb bans, I just want to get ahead of this. As an example, there was a Tennessee bid a couple of years ago.

My opinion carries little weight. I’m just a blogger who tweets a lot. But to be clear: if anyone accepts a GOH spot at an anti-mask Worldcon, I will never read any of their work again.
