50 years ago I met Clayton Eshleman and he signed a copy of Caterpillar for me. Looking back I'm pretty sure that the main way I impressed him was by not being impressed.

Sneak Peek: Everfair by Nisi Shawl - Tor/Forge Blog Exploring the question of what might have come of Belgium's disastrous colonization of the Congo if the native populations had learned about steam technology a bit earlier.

I'm quite enjoying the world of Everfair @nisishawl.bsky.social has created in her novel.

Such vivid imagery and turns of phrase.

Embracing physical media is a rejection of hyper modern digitalization.

In short owning physical media is anti authoritarian and anti hyper modernity.

Buy the dvds
Buy the books
Own media
Build your own libraries
Destroy corporate ownership of media
Retain ownership and control of knowledge

Scroll aaaalll the way to the bottom of the page in the link and there's something about hearing recordings of recent events on their podcasts. No promises, though.

Want an alternative to tomorrow's Shamelessness of the Union speech? Our beloved @nicolaz.bsky.social is booked right up against it: citylights.com/events/nicol... Chatting with me about her latest, SHE IS HERE, as I was the editor astute enough to ease the book out of her.
