I just finished Galactic Hellcats by Marie Vibbert (@reasie.bsky.social ), it was hella fun! and I'm also reading Excession by Iain M. Banks. post scarcity banter and shenanigans are the best banter and shenanigans.

We popped off w/perhaps our most audacious & hubristic move: declaring ourselves the New Arbiters of Good Tasteβ’οΈ & launching the Brave New Weird Awards.
Anyone who grumbled did so quietly; otherwise it went over so well that Vol. 2 is coming soon!

An image by @midearthling.bsky.social of the four hobbits from J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings around a table preparing for dinner: from left to right, Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin. Frodo is holding a pot of steaming soup. Sam, decked out in a hobbit apron, is setting four bowls on the table. Merry is smoking a pipe and laughing. Pippin is playing a lute and singing to entertain his friends.
Are you a fan of The Lord of the Rings? Do you identify as nonreligious? Would you be interested in talking to me for 1-2 hours about why you love Tolkien?
If you answered 'yes' I would love it if you filled out this questionnaire for my PhD research!
