So it’s the BSFA coverage of the @clarkeaward.bsky.social We start with an introduction from Tom Hunter, director of the Clarke Award. Apparently fire alarms are real, but second eclipses aren’t. The timing of the award was altered so that attendees could experience the eclipse. 👇

I'm very excited by this! I absolutely loved The Blazing World back when I studied it. Such a fascinating look at a utopia. It tickles me that Margaret Cavendish wrote an honest-to-god isekai in 1666.

Contributor copy of Fission #6, from @bsfa.bsky.social , has arrived! Featuring my story "Triangulation" - what happens when a Mars resupply run discovers a chocolate teapot floating in space? A story that inspired the cover, which is nice! :)
