LOOK AT THIS TABLE OF CONTENTS AAAAAAAAAA!!!
Honestly, I kept tearing up while I was making these images. We started planning for @othersidespec.bsky.social in the summer of 2024, andβ¦ here we are. This is the best thing Iβve ever done. This is the best day. I canβt wait for March.
This is real. I was just there and everything was blurred yet vaguely melancholic

22.12.2025 18:06 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0This is my longest publication so far, and definitely the one that required the most intensive research. I ended up digging through some academic papers to try to make the science as βrealβ as it could be.
I also had to name a whole sled full of dogs which was way more fun.
Itβs live! βWheel Dogβ is up over at @tractorbeamearth.bsky.social with annotations by @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social. Iβm so stoked to end the year with a hopeful cli-fi piece in such a cool, optimistic mag. If you like dogs, sleds, or sled dogs, check it out!
