Dick Musgrove catching strays in his grave

He really hates the military i guess. But only for thr wrong reasons 💀

picking this up again because Hirondelle's updates has me missing Austen. Persuasion and then Northanger Abbey! Then perhaps even Mansfield Park

the smut seems so unnecessary

this is something

borrowed from a friend who said great stuff about this! after the train wreck that was yesteryear i need something chill like this to read

Reaction bait. That's what this book is

I think i figured out the "twist" slowly and if i am right then fuck this book is so depressing

"A funny satire" they said. "You'll love it", they said. "Book of the year"

This book is so fucking traumatizing holy fuck. It almost feels like there really isnt any point to it other than the shock factor

The postpartum chapters are harrowing to read.
I also dont know where the satire ends with this book and the moral high horsing begins. Which is to say, this book doesn't seem to be saying a lot other than preaching to the choir, aka the liberal women who picked this book up. I doubt a conservative trad wife has tried reading this book

So she knows and acknowledges the fact that sexism exists in every part of life but she still argues with her professors that men are created superior than women etc etc. After her father was a no good drunk and her mother raised her by herself??

I wonder if this might be a bad idea

i dont think i'm in the right mood for this

I dont think it was a good idea to start this book. Its a bit too graphic

holy shit this was amazing

"Entropy was the house that always won in the end. Everything we humans had ever built, from a stone axd to a spaceship, was just borrowing ffom a universe that would always claim it back with interest. Our whole civilisation, art, mind and tech, was founded in the shadow of truth."

back from my road trip to spain to see the solar eclipse and i am soo excited to get back to this. it just keeps getting better and better!!

I have done enough signal processing in radio astronomy to be very skeptical of the amount of component separation they managed to do to figure out the sun and planet's radio emission. But i did let oit a squeal realising signal processing might end up saving the day. We data analysts don't get enough credit

surely they have a compass on board and can try to see which direction the space elevator is and attempt to make it there? with an iron core there should be a magnetic field

I'll never be up to date with Tchaikovsky's backlist and i am not complaining. This is so good and alien and just so well done. Last few sff books i picked up had so much exposition and infodumps but This is how you do it! An air of mystery and horror but still showing us how strange this form of life is

It is August 4th 2026. Ray Bradbury's short story "There Will Come Soft Rains" is a post-apocalyptic short story set during today. Go read it if you haven't already

Surely this will go well

"Incorporated Fealty" aka indentured slavery

Audiobook. Pretty meh so far

If i was station security i would find these two rich ppl poking into everything and contaminating evidence extremly annoying

so she's not like other rich people huh? in the current political climate i find i have no patience for quirky billionaire inventors

So bored

this pacing is soo wack
