The Siege of Burning Grass by @premeemohamed.com is a novel that fits the zeitgeist. It is the right novel to read while contemplating the courage it takes for those with no political authority to speak out against state-sanctioned violence. Review: hugoclub.blogspot.com/2024/07/the-...

Sexual predation is clearly not limited to the arts, and so-called "whisper networks" exist in every profession. And ultimately these networks always, always fail. They don't reach the most vulnerable and they don't ever remove the offender or prevent future harm.

I often wonder if abusive people are drawn to the arts, or if a certain amount of notoriety just makes people turn to shit. I am involved in a lot of different art scenes, and every single one has a whisper network about some big names who nobody feels they can address directly.

We didn't realize this cover was by Michael Whelan! We love it.

THE SNOW QUEEN (1988) Acrylic on Panel - 36" x 24" Joan Vinge provided plenty of inspiration in the pages of this book, and in fact, my first response was that there was way too much epic quality to capture in one illustration. 1/3

Friends, we've had to rework the schedule a bit due to travel and illness (nothing to worry about). For July we're working on releasing salvageable bits of our pilot. Our next read will be This Is How You Lose the Time War. Release date TBD, might be August. After that, A Fire Upon the Deep.

This article will definitely get a shout-out in our upcoming episode on This is How You Lose the Time War.

I feel strongly about but also a little vulnerable about this topic, because I came up in the 2000s writing movie reviews, and film bros were unbearably attached to authoritative voice—which I think can be a block when it comes to writing/watching/experiencing more varied art. So:

The Joy of Reading Books You Don't Entirely Understand - Reactorreactormag.com It really should be acceptable and normal to say “I don’t entirely understand what I just read, but I loved it.”

Has anybody read The Many-Colored Land? A coworker lent it to me and I'm LOVING it so far!

We love that everyone instinctively tags us in the worst quotes SFF has to offer!

This quote from “A Case of Conscience” by James Blish makes me really look forward to @hugogirlpodcast.bsky.social’s episode on that novel: “"I don't hold with women in the sciences," Cleaver said, with abstract, irrelevant irritation. "Get their emotions all mixed up with their hypotheses.[…]”.
