Always nice to see this at the top of the charts!

When everyone reads minds, a secret is a dangerous thing to keep.

More sailed exoplanet explorer ideas.
Which one do you like more?

Silly idea:
Exoplanet explorer vehicle for windy planets.

Need to explore more of this, with improved sail designs.

When you're doing #research for a new #scifi #novel and google derails you with the most hilarious shit:


Welp, so. I guess I'm here now and it's #introduction / #introductions time? I'm a #science writer, #journalist, #podcast host & video maker with a special fondness for weird/gross biology. I'm also a #DnD GM and a huge nerd for #books (especially #scifi) and #comics.

This week, I wrote about a type of lemur that picks its nose with an incredibly spindly finger that's so long it can reach up through its nasal cavity and touch its pharynx.

Nice to meet you, too!

Tributes to Metropolis (1927) within Bladerunner (1982) both movies giants of their era, revolutionizing cinema, esthetics, and story telling.

My new #podcast Before the Future Came isn't going to be about #StarTrek until the SAG-AFTRA strike ends, so we've pivoted to non-ST utopian #scifi, starting with Nnedi Okorafor's novella Binti: https://beforethefuture.space/podcast/s00e01-binti/

Binti is an amazing work. 🤩 We had a lot of fun digging into the themes (violence & empathy, magic in scifi, and ostracization) and geeking about genre-specific stuff we loved. 🐙

(The ep transcript is running a bit behind, but should be up within the next couple of days!)


Sokuba's experienced crew was fired by its new owner to be replaced by a cheaper one of dubious provenance. The only survivor related scenes of panic, hate and violence soon after departure. Many perished in there, while others jumped into the cold space.

I wonder if she inspired some of the characters in the second to last chapter of Kim Stanley Robinson's "The Years of Rice and Salt"? Can't tell much without giving spoilers away.

Okay, so after watching #TheLastOfUS on #HBO, I wondered if #SciFi#zombies (basically a virus, bacteria, etcetera, cause craziness & not a living dead scenario) could occur in humans.

According to #science, the answer is yes. At the 10:15 mark of this video mentions a parasitic protozoan that replaces mammels fear of #cats with a love for cats (or at least their scent.

https://youtu.be/jM5jf-8ekVA
I guess this explains why #Caterday is so popular online (regardless of the social platform used).

Although it usually infects mice 🐁, this parasite can affect humans as well, as it wants us to be eaten by cats (even big cats like lions). From #ScienceFiction to science fact. Crazy if you ask me!


These picture are exactly the type of thing that inspired me to write my #DarkNebula series. I’d love to know what’s going on in that inky black region. Perfect #SciFi fodder.

I forget if I ever posted this here, but I comic'd special session my GM ran for the holidays about a sled-like Von Neumann probe brainwashing the children of Rumreign. Just posted it on my site here: https://nebulos.space/bta_cascade_1.html

It starts a little medias res, but I'm hoping it still makes sense. Let me know! There's some context on the site as well as a link to a transcription.

I'll be uploading the next pages over the next couple days.
