I've featured TWO #solarpunk short story collections you'll want to get your hands on in this week's Bright Green Futures newsletter!
Renan Bernardo's DIFFERENT KINDS OF DEFIANCE is available now (with a new cover!).
@tkrex's WILDCRAFT DRONES is up for preorder (coming in May!).
All that and how all art fights fascism in the newsletter...

I finally got to reading PKD's "Ubik" this week. I think I bought the paperback like 10 years ago, but I never read it, because I hated the print quality. ๐ I really hate it when the text in a book is not looking crisp and sharp, but I'm a weird person I guess.
Anyways, I'm happy to report that this was probably my favorite PKD book I've read to date. What's your favorite?
I am still sad and anxious because of the eCheck torture, but I have to endure it somehow. ๐ซ
Jane and Terence from Josephine Taylor's gothic werewolf historical romance "The Bones We Haunt".
I hope next week is going to be better for all of us.
Finished "Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?" by Jeanette Winterson the other day.
What a fantastic autobiography, one of the best I've ever read. I really like her writing style. It tends to jump around the timeline quite a bit (and she addresses our perception of time), but it made so much sense to me. I loved how she included historical bits - things about her adoptive parents, and the very town they lived in. It really helps paint the sense of 'self'.

There is something extraordinary about John Boyneโs ability to take a reader into the trenches of the First World War. Itโs beyond any others Iโve read so far. #bookstodon

#BlackHistoryMonth Wir empfehlen: Frantz Fanon, der als einer der ersten strukturellen Rassismus erkannte. Eine Neubetrachtung seines Werks, fern von reduktionistischen Lesarten als ยปApologet der Gewaltยซ oder als ยปantikolonialer Klassikerยซ, liest sich hier: https://dietzberlin.de/denker-der-dekolonisation

This should be getting more attention in the press:
Whatever excuse you're using to keep the books on your shelves - you lose.
