To celebrate today, I am going to rec books authored by women, esp. LGBTQIA+ women, and because they are *so* often left out, our enby friends!
Some suggested fiction:
🔹️Sorrowland, Rivers Solomon. Imaginatively allegorical. There's nothing like this out there.
🔹️The Future of Another Timeline, Annalee Newitz. There are many time travel books, but none like this one. Also, check out both:
🔹️The Terraformers 🔹️Automatic Noodle especially if you are in need of hope for the future.🔹️All The Birds in the Sky, Charlie Jane Anders. Paradigm-shifting SFF emphasizing connection in a time of technology.
🔹️Monstrous: A Transracial Adoption Story, Sarah Myer. Essential genderqueer coming of age graphic novel.
🔹️I Keep my Exoskeletons to Myself, Marisa Crane. Not just a great title. This is whip-smart satire about othering.
🔹️The Book of Love, Kelly Link. Weird fantasy magic-fueled fiction at its finest. Also check out:
🔹️White Cat, Black Dog: Stories. Is contemporary fabulism a thing? If so, Link perfected it.🔹️In The Dream House, Carmen Maria Machado. Using every literary trope as a way to filter painful experiences? Pure genius.
Also, stories which examine how much pressure there is on women and girls to be thin:
🔹️They Don't Make Plus-sized Spacesuits, Ali Thompson
🔹️Starfish, Lisa Fipps
🔹️Milk fed, Melissa Broder

Considero valore ogni forma di vita,
la neve, la fragola, la mosca.
Considero valore il regno minerale, l’assemblea delle stelle.
Considero valore il vino finchè dura il pasto,

I’ve been offline all afternoon, as there is no pre-school in France on Wednesdays.
The red badge you see in my screenshot indicates the number of new replies / mentions I have had in the past 9 hours: 173!
Please be patient, I will try to reply to everyone as soon as my little one is asleep 😅
Oh and thank you for all your superb recommendations in response to my morning toot, I really appreciate!

@usul @lproven The backup servers were in another datacenter - another provider. And, more, the most critical ones were here, too 🙂

Dopo 35 anni la cerimonia Ig Nobel lascia gli USA. Le finanze e le politiche di Trump hanno determinato la decisione di spostare l'evento scientifico satirico in Svizzera
La 35a cerimonia di assegnazione del Premio Ig Nobel, che si terrà a Boston nel settembre 2025, sarà l'ultima negli Stati Uniti, almeno per ora. Quest'anno, l'amata parodia dei Premi Nobel per la scienza si terrà a Zurigo, dando il via a un cambiamento potenzialmente permanente nelle cerimonie ospitate in Europa.
È una mossa a cui Marc Abrahams, fondatore e maestro di cerimonia del Premio Ig Nobel e direttore della rivista di umorismo scientifico Annals of Improbable Research , "pensava da un po'" a causa delle difficoltà finanziarie e del desiderio di ampliare il team di pianificazione dell'evento, ormai invecchiato. Ma l'anno scorso, dice, l'idea "si è trasformata in qualcosa di molto diverso, molto più specifico e concreto, quando la situazione negli Stati Uniti ha iniziato a diventare folle".

Grazie a @MarcAbrahams per la segnalazione
