Don’t hug me, I’m scared! The pinacle of 2010s comedy - millenials (holds up spork) beware this episode because we take a real trip down memory lane. We force @bingewriting.bsky.social to contemplate his process - is his writing performative or purely creative All this and more in Speed Binges!

I love this quote. Sure it works on a surface ‘human dumb hurh durh’ level but also any sentient life in our universe may very well be literally too intelligent to even register us. But also, what the hell are we doing right now?! 💙📚 #aliens #kubrik #writingcommunity

Author Arthur C Clarke stands in-front of a robot arm. The photo is black and white and he has a gentle smirk on his face. In bold white lettering it says ‘I’m sure the universe is full of intelligent life. It’s just been too intelligent to come here’

4. I’ve read a few far-far future dystopian SF/fantasy novels lately, even tho it’s not a favorite subgenre. But Jemisin’s vision of feared born earth manipulators & deadly weather events is fascinating. I had trouble keeping the POV characters straight, but there’s a good reason for that. #booksky

Only a Brit could write a romance novel completely devoid of affection! I guess it goes part and parcel with the ‘ol’ stiff upper lip wot wot?’ Attitude that a gentleman should not show any affection I also can’t imagine the adaptation of Remains of the day could possibly catch the subtelties 💙📚

It’s recording day! So far we have read sci-fi, horror, thrillers, and fantasy and yet Remains of the Day is the novel that has baffled me the most. I cannot wait to hear what @bingewriting.bsky.social has to say about it because it feels illegal to tell so little plot with so many words! 💙📚

Cover of the novel Remains of the day by Kazuo Ishiguro. A bright yellow border surrounds an oranger frame containing the silhouette of a person in a fine bowler hat of some kind. Kazuo Ishiguro and Remains of the day are written in large but inviting font Beneath and above it.
