By way of #introduction: I’m not a recent Twitter migrant, left earlier bc of toxicity, glad to see old Twitter friends here. I’m a reader, writer, actor, cat/dog/critter lover who sometimes gets up in front of people and tells stories. I work with/for a tiny nonprofit school in Vermont, USA.

I enjoy cooking and chatting about cooking; sometimes I photograph what I've cooked or post recipes I've tinkered with. I can my own jams and tomatoes with produce from our local farms, because Vermont winters require having a little jar of summer at hand when the nights are long. I love the smell of coffee but prefer to drink tea (loose leaf, properly steeped, is a delight).

I'm expressly anti-fascist, because apparently that needs to be said out loud now.

Pauline Ashwell, like Katherine MacLean, started in the pages of John Campbell's "Astounding". Her #sciencefiction, written under her name as well as under 'Paul Ash', is some of the best stuff of the Silver Age. Strangely, her name is rarely mentioned when citing the classics.

If you read her off-beat, moving "Unwillingly to School", you certainly will list her amongst YOUR favorites. A #feminist masterpiece, it also has unique disability rep:

Today would have been Douglas Adams' 71st birthday. The Hitchhikers Guide is definitely one of my favorite books and comfort reads. No one made the end of the world so much fun like he did.
What stories he might have told if he wouldn't have passed so early..
I hope he has a towel with him, wherever he is 🖤

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️?

Wusstet Ihr, dass das seit 1961 erscheinende „Perry Rhodan“ die längste Fortsetzungsgeschichte der Welt (!) ist? 🚀🇩🇪🇪🇺📚 Und dies, obwohl es - zum Teil bis heute - bildungsbürgerlich verhöhnt, ja unterdrückt wurde? 🤔

Sprach im Interview mit Christoph & Alex von „Freies Radio Ertrus“ @rfe über die Bedeutung, die der große Mythos für mich als Arbeiterkind hatte. #PerryRhodan #ScienceFiction #Lesen #Arbeiterkind #Literatur #Kultur https://radio-freies-ertrus.de/2023/03/03/rfes028/

Loving this showcase of 80 fantasy and sci-fi books with LGBTQ+ main characters. As you're perusing, I’d recommend keeping your eye out for authors Kevin Klehr, Si Clarke, Dani Hoots, B. Pigeon, Ryann Fletcher, and J.S. Fields! (And for my books, if you want. 😂)
