In the 90s I think was too young to really grasp the nuances I think, but I definitely wasn't anti-Neo Sapien

@amtuomala.bsky.social I have just started reading THE MAP AND THE TERRITORY and I believe I shall be a fan of Mnoro. I'm bracing myself though because I've been on a streak of characters I like getting the dagger in stuff I've been reading/watching lol

First two chapters of DEAD HAND RULE have me feeling like I’m front row for the most epic ass opening to a big movie. The King in Red’s presence on the page never disappoints.

Lately, the only way I’ve achieved that is writing by hand and turning all my devices off πŸ˜‚

Second to last long-list call! What was out in 2023 in queer SFF that you think was amazing?

Again, not asking for every bit of queer SFF that was out this year, what would you personally give an A- (4 stars, 8/10 etc) to?

My starter list in the image and alt text.

I'm not starting up an award ...but I am testing a hypothesis and spotlighting some great queer SFF

I'm not starting an award.

But I am going on a perhaps quixotic months-long exercise in spotlighting great quality early 2020s queer SFF. The details, the thinking behind it, and a bonus cringeworthy pun are here!

I look forward to shouting at y'all about great books over the next few months.

I thought I was being sold on the merits of not wiping down machines from a weird health angle so I checked out for 90% of whatever she said

Yea! And it did not flinch in showing some tough stuff. I'm glad it's held up mostly for me. I was worried I might shatter some childhood memories rewatching it lol

Watching Exo-Squad with a modern lenses...yea the Neo-Sapiens had every right to turn on the humans. I knew that as a kid in the 90s but couldn't quite quantify why, but now yea. You create a race purely to enslave them and then have the AUDACTIY to be prejudiced after they demanded their freedom.

LOL I might seek out some Sinister edits first before taking that option

First time encountering someone who emphatically DID NOT want me to wipe down my machine after using it at the gym. Proceeded to tell me some homeopathic stuff I mostly blocked out and nodded along to πŸ˜‚. I am a profuse sweater so YIKES. it felt very weird walking away

I would sprint with every drop of my power away from the Elmever. Not a single thing in there was appealing. I am so good on creepy deers and angry unicorns πŸ˜‚

Just finished THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST and what a sad, sinister, heart wrenching novella. @premeemohamed.com I will be thinking about Aram for the rest of this month I’m sure. πŸ˜₯πŸ˜₯

The Elmever is just so wretched and it makes me want to crawl out of my skin. (Complimentary)
