Found my way to the work of KJ Parker via this ish of Subterranean. subterraneanpress.com/magazine/summe… – 05:56 AM GMT
I love Parker’s prose and the elegance of observation in the work. Every ten paragraphs I clock a little gracenote and sigh in pleasure. – 05:57 AM GMT
Speaking of Subterranean, guess it’s curtains for the mag, which is a darn shame. Parker and Reynolds both there. subterraneanpress.com/magazine/summe… – 05:59 AM GMT

my grandfather had two careers. – 12:38 AM GMT
Until the late 1920s or early 1930s he was a tenant farmer in northern Missouri near the town of Bethany in Harrison County. – 12:39 AM GMT
Then the Depression made that untenable, and he moved the family to Washington State’s Yakima Valley, where my mother was born. – 12:40 AM GMT
While they got settled, the family performed harvest labor, for a couple of years. Picking apples and so forth. No long distance travel. – 12:42 AM GMT
Eventually he was hired as a logging truck driver, and did that for just about thirty years, I think. Mack semis, up and down the mountains. – 12:44 AM GMT
He smoked Camel straights and continued to smoke after he retired. He died of lung cancer in summer 1978. He was a kind, funny man. – 12:44 AM GMT
He cooked a sit down dinner for my grandma, my mom, my aunt, and my uncle every day after his shift. His huge hands peeling potatoes. – 12:46 AM GMT
clipping and steaming green beans, setting the table, rumbling laughte – 12:46 AM GMT
he would be amused that i see such inspiration in his actions and his choices, i’m sure. he was a huge man. i still smell him sometimes. – 12:47 AM GMT
when i wear a vintage plaid wool flannel, the sensation i receive from it is a sense memory of being held in his arms. Wish we’d had longer. – 12:49 AM GMT

For more than a year now I have been playing this silly Trek-licensed game on my iPad, Trexels. – 07:12 AM GMT
With one exception it’s the most game time I have ever put into a pixelgame. – 07:12 AM GMT
it’s structured to drive monetization by pay-to-save-time. fuck that, I want it as slow as possible. Game play is strictly breaktime casual. – 07:14 AM GMT
That means the interactions are highly ritualized, low stress, and not hard to resolve. Perfect for bedtime. – 07:15 AM GMT
As a result, the game, set in a low-rez riff on TOS Trekspace – the Trexelian Expanse – is bleeding into my book-read sleepytime memories. – 07:16 AM GMT
So when I remember reading this Paolo Bacigalupi or that Charlie Stross or Alastair Reynolds or China Mieville or colonial history book – 07:19 AM GMT
my mind’s mise-en-scene: filled with blocky little caricatures of near-Kirk and not-Spock, like Lego avatars of the Laundry crew or whatnot – 07:22 AM GMT
I believe I approve. Retroactive hallucination, dreamtime into readtime. – 07:23 AM GMT
@ezrakilty an old MMO flightsim called Dawn of Aces. Around 2001, I think. Might still exist, I guess. – 04:11 PM GMT
@ezrakilty quite plausible! – 04:19 PM GMT

@zipties LOL. Not sure I would have noticed it if I hadn’t seen those sales number stories. – 02:01 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone in more ways than one. The museum’s original displays included exhibits moved from Flushing Meadows, iirc. No longer viewable. – 04:27 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone roadsideamerica.com/tip/13013 // used to be in a room with crazy, trip-inducing tilted floors designed like the inside of a cabin – 04:30 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone so it seemed like you were in a cabin held by paul bunyan as he tilted it this way and that – 04:31 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone an exhibit sponsored by weyerhauser. INDUSTRIAL MYTHOCUBOFUTURBRUTALIST ARCHITECTULPTURE. Sorry Granny broke her ankle. – 04:33 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone and the sliced humans, moldering away in their formaldehyde. – 04:33 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone exactly. last time I was there I found the last of the World’s Fair pieces behind a screen up on the second floor. – 04:35 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone I mean, an actual artifact of that rhetorical style and practice. hidden. – 04:35 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone nothing to see here nope – 04:37 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone just some gears sorted by size and manufacturer with EXCELLENT typography – 04:37 AM GMT
