sorry but you have someone else to blame for the headline!!!! (but I'm also sad, I want that)

IF ONLY I HAD THAT KIND OF POWERS

yessssssss god I miss her

really sorry to report that Buffy turns 30 next year. look, I didn't make the calendar, okay?

I have no idea what you're talking about LA LA LA LA LA

WELL IDK I would list some that others would def pick (Raven Scholar, Rakesfall, Spear Cuts Through Water) but the ones I think are less likely to otherwise come up include Age of Ash, Library of Broken Worlds, North Continent Ribbon, The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door...

it's still rather embarrassing if satire, I think

sometimes you leave up a grumpy post because you stand by your opinion (which I do) and sometimes you delete a grumpy post because dishonest bullshit doesn't deserve any airtime whatsoever

is he, like, intentionally squandering whatever goodwill he's managed to amass orrrrrrrrrr

feeling very "who asked for this!?!?" about this whole thing (whatever it is)

if you haven't/hadn't read raven scholar i would definitely yell at you about it

haven't you read them all already!!!!!!

definitely, definition, typos, tomatoes, oops

christina this is rude as it depends entirely who I'm talking to!!!!

yes yes yes! my favorite kind of review

this is definitely something I was trying to work/think around, because I hate it (haaaaate it) when people posit that belonging to a genre is soley a matter of authorial intent (cory doctorow had a really grating definitely of SF that leaned hard in this direction) - it's so limiting!

and I hate that, I hate it so much; you maybe can't understand it exactly a text same way a person with [insert handful of reference points here] does, but that doesn't mean another way of understanding it isn't valid!

you know, I think I used to see it that way too, that the conversation was exclusionary–but something about the Chiang quote unlocked another way of looking at it for me. there are so many conversations to have, so many ways to talk about things!

well I love YOUR brain!!!!

thank you!!!

thank yoooooou 💖

part who-knows-what of an ongoing conversation with myself, in column form! these are not final, authoritative thoughts, partly because I am just not that interested in final, authoritative thoughts, but I do authoritatively feel that an us vs. them approach to genres is a mistake

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.

I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.

Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

a whole lot, apparently

HATE it

NO, YOU 💖

jenny this is so good I may never write a review ever again
