I read a #scifi#book about an ice hauler that gets suddenly sent out of the solar system at relativistic speeds on the back of something that apparently isn't a comet, it starts as a survival story and then turns really interesting and weird.
I'm against student loan forgiveness, not because I'm against giving the money out... but because I'm against giving it out only to student loan debtors. Here's the idea... give everyone equally a #UBI and let the people with student loans repay it from there. I'm ok with limiting interest rates too, and rolling back capitalization of back interest... totally fine with that. But if we're creating money out of thin air and giving it to anyone, it should 100% be equally distributed.
It’s broadening to learn about entirely different economies. I studied S American archeology in college. The Inca empire was hardly “nice” but their economic system itself is prevalent in central and southern traditional cultures. It may be considered intrinsic the tribal economics.
The James Beard nominations for 2024 have just been announced, and a few of the folks we've worked with over the years are in the mix. Here's the full list of nominees, via @Eater:
Toni Tipton-Martin scored a James Beard nomination for "Juke Joints, Jazz Clubs, and Juice: Cocktails from Two Centuries of African American Cookbooks." Here's her @Flipboard collection about her work in raising the profile of Black cuisine.
And the team at "High on the Hog" were nominated in the docuseries category. The show's host, Whetstone magazine founder Stephen Satterfield, curated this @Flipboard Storyboard about what food can teach us about Black identity and culture.
@penpencilbrush@claudiac@bookstodon Have to thank you again for recommending Blackwells. Although I am a solid supporter of my local independent bookstore and public library sometimes they just can't get books that aren't published in Canada or in North America. Blackwells delivered Hannah Kent's wonderful #historicalFiction Devotion and Maggie Shipstead's excellent Astonish Me. So grateful to finally have the opportunity to read these marvellous #books. #Reading
Haha, so, fun times: my land people are selling my house. I have the option to buy it, but because my chronically ill arse can no longer work, no one is gonna give me a mortgage. Rents are about £150 more expensive than what I'm currently paying.
I'm exploring options, but now would be a really great time to buy one of my books, purchase some of my art, or sign up for my Patreon.
Unfortunately, I am still pretty sick, so can't do much at the moment, but will add links below this to my stuff.
Join my Patreon for semi-regular smutty art and stories in the genres of fantasy, SF, and weird.
Some content is available to everyone and you can sign up for a nominal amount just to be supportive, but Devotees also get access to restricted content and previews of works in progress!
