Hey, fellow Rootless! You can read my new story "Forever the Forest " in #LifeBeyondUs now, and I posted some story notes. Take a look if you want to know what I learned about trees and why I needed to employ my translator mindset for this one.

Anybody still in need of a way over there?

[Simone Heller @HerLizardness]

For those of you still here and on double duty: I have ventured into the azure expanse, too - same name, same handle. I'm going to look for you over there!

[Simone Heller @HerLizardness]

@CarsTheElectric @sfw_china Congrats! In my book, that’s awesome!

@britney_spheres Pretty sure something died with this headline - kittens, Crass, style, you name it.

Olaf Scholz, solar punk? I … I might have seen the punk suffix used in way as pointless as this before, but I can’t seem to remember it right now.

New neighbor says hi! Moved in in May, handsome but slightly awkward, doesn’t get along with Corvids.

When you go stargazing in Munich, it almost tricks you into believing it’s real… (but even better: later in the night I saw Saturn’s rings! 👀 )

@ardeija @MedievalLatin This is actually a great goal in life from any perspective. Thank you for sharing!

[Simone Heller @HerLizardness]

Late to the party, but if you have the tiniest bit of interest in manga/anime or even just in the impact of culture & history on narratives, this is a must-read (and Ada Palmer sharing her knowledge is always sparking Mitfreude anyway!) https://t.co/VrGuQ0956A

@britney_spheres Vorsicht, sonst wird’s am Ende eine Triologie!

@britney_spheres Fehlen bloß noch die vier apokalyptischen writer

@M_L_Clark @Julianne_SF This is such a good way to highlight the „greater than the sum of its parts“ aspect of an anthology!

[Simone Heller @HerLizardness]

@mere_rain Not yet, but I’ll check them out. Thanks!

[Simone Heller @HerLizardness]

What a beautiful day to crawl out after two months in my translator’s cave and emerge into a birdless wasteland filled with blue-fanged vipers.

[Simone Heller @HerLizardness]

@mere_rain Ha, thank you! I’m a little bit afraid it might tip over and land in the realm of parody.

[Simone Heller @HerLizardness]

@raskolnik2 Ich freue mich auch über alle, die noch da sind.

If night-shift taxi rides with strange & shady passengers in Tokyo are able to grab your attention, do yourself a favor and watch "Odd Taxi"! I'll be here for a while and recover from the way the narrative threads are reeled in at the end.

@britney_spheres And it just got worse with LUCID packaging register. Lots of shops not even shipping a sticker to Germany now, let alone a book.

@RenanBernardo Same. No motivation. At the moment it feels like a choice between “everything I do will be scraped for AI”, “shiny new thing somebody will transform into shit before long”, and “a little bit of everything plus total fragmentation”. Yay!
