I do find it kind of funny with GRRM grumbling about not being 'invited' to WorldCon that I'm over here sending out invites to past GoHs and some workshop leaders for Flights of Foundry - specifically with the link to the form for them to fill out.

I really enjoyed Refractions, so Inversions is bound to be a treat. Looking forward to it!

Yay! New book coming in August! It's a loose sequel to Refractions and works better in read in sequence, but can be read as a standalone. (Reviewers, DM me for a review copy! Much appreciated!)

Today is the 80th anniversary of this New Yorker cover by Rea Irvin, portraying the D-Day invasion in the style of the Bayeux Tapestry. Bayeux was the first town to be liberated (although the tapestry was, to the surprise of many, not there anymore; that story is the subject of my next novel.) 1/5

I’d appreciate it if you could all like and reply to this so the BS team know that this is something that we all want to prevent the trolls.

@pfrazee.com this is why we need accounts that can be locked. Someone harasses a user and then laughs in their face and tells them that if they get banned they will just add another account. I appreciate that this user has been removed but it isn’t enough.

People on here who are deprived of their mental faculties say that "if Israel wanted to commit a genocide it would" well what is this exactly? How would you describe the near total destruction of Gaza City and the near total destruction of our ability to make food? The murder of 15,000 children?

-40,000+ killed -15,000+ children killed -20,000 children missing -70% of Gaza's buildings destroyed -60% of Gaza's farms destroyed -2,200,000 displaced

"Nobody used to think men exploiting women was wrong" is up there with "Nobody used to think slavery was wrong" as a really impressive giveaway of who you think counts as "nobody".

This is immensely good news. Feels like a major stop towards being able to fight it, similar to the vaccine breakthroughs earlier in the year.

This is importing and exciting #Covid news. Firstly, it seems some people’s immune systems kick into gear more quickly, beating off infection before it has a chance to take hold. Secondly, in some people a specific gene (HLA-DA2) is expressed at higher levels and seems to be a marker of protection.
