Did someone say "Bi Visibility Day"? journeypress.com/the-kitra-sa...

The four covers for the Kitra Saga featuring everyone in the crew but Pinky, who is pretty ace. And we don't actually know which way Sirena swings. She's probably Fabulosexual.

My 9 anime ^_^ This was a tough pick, and it doesn't have anything from the '60s and '70s (or the '00s, for that matter), but I think this is pretty representative of what I love.

Finally wrote the first 500 words of a story that's been burbling just below the surface for weeks. We'll see where it goes!

Some people have "Rizz". Others, depending on class, have "Reng", "Tel", "Zdo", "Stit", or "Ter".

Hello out there! Want to make me the happiest writer? Leave a review! :) Goodreads, Amazon, Storygraph... reviews are the lifeblood of the author. They're also fun to read. Even the bad ones...

Spread of all four The Kitra Saga covers. They look pretty cool.

Did you know that Galactic Journey produces ~1000 pages of content every year? Of course, that doesn't include the weekly Science Fiction Theater, or the weekly British SF broadcast, or the radio station(s), or the Apollo mission coverage, or the Trekzines, or...

Given that America *was* greater just last year, is it time to co-opt #MAGA? What if every progressive on the internet started adding the #MakeAmericaGreatAgain tag to obviously progressive posts? I feel like that would be delightfully insidious...
