Status Updates From Uncanny Magazine, Issue 1, ...

Não li a revista de cabo a rabo, pulei o artigo que transcrevia uma mesa redonda por exemplo, mas gostei muito da revista, simplesmente pelo fato de nao ser só contos jogados ali. #revista1 #fevereiro

Além dos contos, há também poesias e ensaios sobre ficção científica e convenções. Eu particularmente gostei da bisexual anthem que é a poesia do Neil Gaiman, Kissing Song. E do artigo Does sex make science fiction 'soft'?, escrito pela Tansy Rayner Roberts. Meu contos preferidos é claro que foram "If You Were a Tiger, I’d Have to Wear White", "Celia and the Conservation of Entropy" e "The Boy Who Grew Up".

Um garoto adolescente com problemas de abandono pela mãe tenta se "dar bem" com um Peter Pan adolescente. Mas no fim, todos temos que crescer. #conto13 #fevereiro

IF YOU WERE A TIGER - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

CECLIA AND THE CONSERVATION ON ENTROPY - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

CELIA AND THE CONSERVATION OF ENTROPY - ⭐️⭐️

IF YOU WERE A TIGER - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Celia and the Conservation of Entropy (audiobook narrado por ela autora ): A história de uma garota "smart-ass" que viaja no tempo pra tentar resgatar o livro que o avô escreveu sobre ela viajando no tempo. Bem despretensioso. #conto12 #fevereiro

Migration: Um conto sobre morte e renascimento sobre uma moça que é uma fênix em forma humana e decide que já está cansada de viver. #conto11 #fevereiro

Late Nights at the Cape and Cane: É basicamente um conto em que o cara briga com a namorada super-poderosa. #conto10 #fevereiro

Her Fingers Like Whips, Her Eyes Like Razors: Fala um pouco sobre vida e morte. Mas tem um corte brusco bem no começo e uma mudança de atmosfera. Que teoricamente era pra ser uma história dentro da história, mas não deu muito certo. #conto9 #fevereiro

Presence: Um conto curto sobre distância, afeto e tecnologia. #conto8 #fevereiro

If You Were a Tiger, I’d Have to Wear White: Provavelmente este é um dos contos mais fodas que já li na vida. O clima de atores-animais do cinema antigo em um zoológico decadente, toda a atmosfera narrada. Claro que ouvir os áudios também ajudou pacas nessa climatização. Recomendo ler e ouvir em conjunto. #conto7 #fevereiro

"Interview: Beth Meacham" - Neat talk about how she worked with Jay

"Interview: Christopher Barzak" - A discussion about his short story in the magazine as well as his career.

"Kissing Song" - a poem

"The New Ways" - a poem

"The Whalemaid, Singing" - a poem

"Interview: Headley" - So much of the tiger story is based in reality, it blows my mind. Also great to see her thought process.

"Does Sex...Soft?" - Shout out to God's War,which I read last year! I have a hard time understanding the mindset of the people she's criticizing. Sex, love, & romance are a part of the human condition.While I understand if a story ignores it because it takes away from the narrative (books don't mention every character's bathroom use), don't think any story is poorer for including.

I skipped over the shorts article.

"Worldcon Roundtable" - a roundtable panel conducted via email about Worldcon. Made me more interested in trying to attend a WorldCon. There's a lot of drama around it and that was even present in the roundtable. But fan comes from fanatic, so I'm not surprised people are extremely passionate about it. The important thing is everyone remaining respectful and polite.

"Mars..Attacks!" - This article, like other similar ones, made me both happy and sad at once. And, considering it was written 3 years ago, almost sunk me into depression. It's about how geek women are constantly attacked, especially online. (Something I just learned about in the past 2-3 years) It's also about hope with all the female geek cultures. But to see where we are in 2017....ooh boy.

"Her Fingers like Whips, Her Eyes Like Razors" - what I find annoying about many stories of the fey is that they seem cryptic to a fault. You never quite know WTF is happening and that's annoying. It's not a trope I enjoy. That said, the story overall was good and was successful in conveying the emotions it wanted to.

"The Boy Who Grew Up" - A teenager meets Peter Pan (who's now also a teenager) and gains some perspective on his situation. It was sad, but perhaps a bit hopeful at the end.

"Migration" - About a world in which birds carry souls.
