Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

When Kathleen Dorothy Blackburn was a child growing up in an evangelical family in Lubbock, Texas, her father, a former air force pilot, was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 38. Her family sought help from preachers, holy men and faith healers but unbeknownst to them, her father had been exposed to high levels of PFAS — as of this month, limited in drinking water by the FDA — on the military sites where he had worked. @TexasObserver has published this extract from Blackburn's memoir, "Loose of Earth," in which she talks about these forever chemicals, how they may have been linked to her father's illness, and a story her grandmother once shared.

I need your help . One of the classes I'm taking at the graduate level this semester is Religion & Science Fiction. I read more fantasy, and would like to do my research paper on something that's not obvious (like ST/BS5/Matrix/etc.) & I'd love to use more modern sf rather than the golden age classics.

Anyone have any interesting ideas for my research paper on regarding the intersection of religion and science fiction?

From time to time I will read a series, but when I do, it’s not back to back. The Lonesome Dove quartet is one such series. I’ve decided to read them in chronological order, rather than the order they were written. I’ve read Dead Man’s Walk & Comanche Moon. Up next: Lonesome Dove. I’m not sure when I will start, sometime this year I think, especially since I received this beautiful edition (that I have been eyeing for sometime).

Do you read book series, if so, what’s a favorite? @bookstodon

@Likewise I love finding a great author with an existing body of work. Laurie King's Mary Russell novels and Colin Cotteril's Inspector Siri Paiboun stories, Jim Butcher's Dresden files, C. J. Cherryh's Foreigner and Union-Alliance storylines, Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover. Most can be read out of order, but I did miss some references by doing so.
