Reading Round-up: February/March 2022

Nihilism gets you halfway there: ecocentric philosophy in Solarpunk
Last month I finally read Psalm for the Wild-Built, Becky Chambers' new solarpunk novella from Tor.com.

Hello, folks. It's the end of the year, which means that I'm taking a moment to look back on all of my accomplishments this year! This year has been kind of wild and unusual, as is the case for many, at least in part because I spent four months traveling and writing and editing. It... Continue Reading →
