On Tim Ferriss' show guest storyteller and master Penabler @neilhimself recommends #fountainPens to the uninitiated.
I have a few Lamy Safaris and started with one myself.
Good taste in #notebooks too (#Leuchtturm1917)
I'm quoted in this article. Things were a real mess last year. I am very happy the 2024 Worldcon in Glasgow has already committed to transparency and openness regarding the Hugo Awards this year. It's nice to see things on the path to being corrected.
Cory Doctorow @pluralistic : Companies like Tesla, Amazon and Cruise that claim to have replaced human workers with AI are often outright lying. Often, they’re instead replacing local employees with remote workers paid peanuts in India and other developing countries.
“So much AI turns out to be low-waged people in a call center in the Global South pretending to be robots that Indian techies have a joke about it: ‘AI stands for “absent Indian.”’”
Fantastic news our winner has now come forward to claim her amazing @neilhimself copy of 🌟STARDUST🌟 the book will soon be winging its way to her along with my congratulations and thanks!
With the news that has subsequently broken, I fear this item that I submitted to Mike Glyer at File 770 will get overlooked.
Please remember that there are many, many more victims of this mess, and who don't have large followings on English-language social media to hear their anguish.
EDIT: Any chance of some boosts on this plz? It bothers me my posts about censored posts & big biz dodginess get lots of engagement, but not the human side

Treated myself to a new book today. I would never have discovered it if it hadn't been for the wonderful @neilhimself . Can't wait to start reading it but I have The Dark Is Rising sequence to finish first. #Bookstodon#Books
@Yorkslass70@neilhimself I love all of Zelazny's work but A Night in the Lonesome October is one of my favorites! I got to hear him read the whole thing to us at a Con over three nights. Every so often he would stop and make notes in the manuscript he was reading from.
I have several friends who read this every October chapter-by-chapter, day-by-day; I don't have that level of discipline; if I start it, it's getting finished same day!
Zelazny was a very underrated writer; I sometimes think he's omitted a lot in libraries, who always seem to have a lot of Asimov, simply because of his alphabetical positioning.
Look, I'm a writer. I know there are too many superlatives in this piece. But there are not enough superlatives in the world for what @neilhimself and Fourplay did last night.
Happy New Year one and all if you’re following my @neilhimself raffle we are now down to 495 raffle tickets left to go please see the full description as written by Lyra’s Books for this amazing edition of Neil’s 🌟STARDUST🌟 only 2 such books exist!

I saw a quote, as I do every year, from @neilhimself and then remembered he had expanded on it. These are good thoughts in hard times to take forward into the new year.
