@k_omry13 develops the concept of “allotropic temporality” to describe how African sf resists the binaries of utopia and dystopia. She draws on works by @namwalien, @TlotloTsamaase, and @Lisa_teabag.

We're so excited our African sf special issue is out @ #ScienceFictionStudies!

Co-editors @gib_zzz, @EzeiyokeC, @noruthie, I, &the authors think about how to understand African science & speculative fiction in the context of global sf. Let me introduce: https://t.co/a6UkIvGsft

[Peter J. Maurits @maurits_peter]

@noruthie suggests the concept of “non-human near-omniscience”, to describe narrators with super-human knowledge. Reading @Nnedi's Lagoon, she shows how these narrators draw on African animist traditions characterized by relationality more than by absolute power.

The other day I found an old woman in my front garden picking leaves off the grapevine. She apologised but I told her not to. She said “I’ll make you something nice!” I forgot all about it. Have just found this on my doorstep. Six dolmades!

Almost out of admin - may need to start actual writing. Someone send me an email quick!

[Keren Omry @k_omry13]

@saguynes Damn. I'm sorry. It's not you.

[Keren Omry @k_omry13]

@Nomad93 I know just saw this last night. WTF. At least it still belongs to 2020 and hasn't jinxed the new year 😕

[Keren Omry @k_omry13]

Dear SFRA,

Unfortunately I must write you today with the news that our planned meeting for July 2020 has been cancelled due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. https://t.co/ydFEb7sInr

#SFRA2019 did anyone forget a Pitt notebook full of conference notes at the conference location?? If you're still in town, John R. has it.

[Keren Omry @k_omry13]

@moxiekat It was like an elaborate set up just for you. Kudos to @Nomad93 !

[Keren Omry @k_omry13]

@saguynes Ha! The one that was delayed by an hour? Me and mine were! Spotted a few other sfra-ers as well
