This game is basically perfect.

@Mondyboy But the lingering urge remains…

Tempted to wade into Percy Jackson discourse. I’ve been in slapfight retirement for too long.

@Mondyboy I dunno, I feel like the baton has passed. It’s a young man’s game.

@D_CurrieDC @redrichie It’s better than it has any right to be!

Thrilled to announce the forthcoming publication of my first collection of reviews, Track Changes. I've been working on this book for nearly a year and am extremely proud of how it's come out. Pre-orders are open for an August 2024 publication.

Just finished the Lightspeed trilogy. There are times I wish MacLeod would be a bit less MacLeod-y but no one (not even Banks) can do what MacLeod does.

The 2024 @strangehorizons Criticism Special is here!

I'll thread thoughts on the pieces in this jam-packed issue through the week, but why not start with the editorial from @ActuallyAisha and me?

"Is it enough just to say, 'We still believe this'?"
