This weeks fantasy teaching for our @UofGFantasy MLitt core course focused on the Weird. Among other things we discussed what Chine Miéville calls “Weird Fiction’s obsession with the tentacle” and new teratologies.

Things have just got a lot more difficult . Here’s what I think . I had no control over what just happened . None . But I do have control over how I will react to it . And I am not going to give up on the beautiful and the good , the grip on my dreams just got tighter .

Hold fast to dreams

For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird

That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams

For when dreams go

Life is a barren field

Frozen with snow.

I'm grateful to have Gabor Maté alive in this moment, for his intelligent compassionate wise human way of speaking about this horror we are witnessing.

@BrianFeroldi after securing FDA approval and climbing 180% it would be great to hear your take on Nano-X, especially any thoughts you have on management’s ability to execute moving forward.
