📚💙Forgot to post this before in the flurry of health emergencies, but I wrote an essay for @locusmag.bsky.social about my fave books of 2025, reading in hospital waiting rooms and how art might not be able to save us, but still help us to make sense of suffering & grief

This is the same kind of flimsy argument as "patriarchy harms men too" like, sure, but we shouldn't let such a broad statement exist without acknowledging the primary targets and primary harm being done. The point of "the poor little imperial soldier is being exploited" is to distract us.

Then we have @architamittra.bsky.social. I first found Archita Mittra's work when I read her review of In the Shadow of the Fall at Strange Horizons, where I have continued to enjoy her reviews.

As it's Hugo time, I wanted to talk about a category I care about, and which I think could do with a bit of extra love when it comes to nomination time - it's best fan writer!
(this is gonna be a thread of me doing hype, which I'm bad at, but that is much deserved by all here linked, pls be nice)
Thank you so much!

We're so cold. 💔😭
Rain and cold are destroying us.
Donations have stopped, and a breadwinner owns a tent.
My kids freeze every night.
I need $250 to buy a tent to protect us.
Any donation, even the smallest one, can save lives 🙏💔
