@isaac-fellman.bsky.social was telling me that Abelard and Héloïse had a son named Astrolabe, and this segued into a conversation about what astronomical instruments would also be good names for trans women. In no particular order: Astrolabe Orrery Dioptra Volvelle Scaphe

the other thing about the prisoner is that (with all this idiotic talk of second screen tv) you can engage with it on any level. glance up every ten minutes to see the most perfect context-free image possible, or pin your eyelids open and eat a bottle of adderall

I've been revisiting the Fallout universe for both my agonies and sins. I finished Fallout 4 (via one titanic final crash at the end of the main questline). Now for New Vegas: I downloaded 81 mods, then 3 more to fix the bugs they caused, ranging from "glitchy music" to "sorry, everybody bald."

I've just been astonished by how good this goddamn vampire show is. They spent two seasons doing this masterful slow build to a personal tragedy and then were like, "from now on the show is a maniacal rockumentary with a ranting self-destructive narrator. We saw Velvet Goldmine 10,001 times."

TOMORROW AT THE STUD...come see trans writers read about anything other than transition. I'll probably be reading the opening of Translunar, my astronaut book out in 2027. It's one of the chapters about hot jets, but transition MAY be mentioned, despite my heroine's best efforts to stanch the flow.

an outright lie unless they’re arguing that spellcheck is AI. If you’re using MS Word there’s probably now untoggleable AI assistant but I’ve published four books without MS Word. I copy edit over the phone from a printout if I have to. I don’t want to speed my workflow. I’d rather be good

My cosmic punishment for failing to read PLASTIC, PRISM, VOID when Violet sent me the MS -- for the usual no-good "behind on all my friends' MSS" reason -- is that I've fucked up my attempts to preorder it so repeatedly and gratuitously as to verge on the supernatural.

I wrote another Magic: The Gathering story! It's about a monster that feeds on grief, and the tight-knit group of college friends who must use a recent devastating loss as bait to draw it out. I loved writing this one, and Wizards were very cool about how far I wandered from the prompt.

Having huge, complex feelings about the moon (yes, yes, TRANSLUNAR [2027]). It's always been so overwhelmingly laden with politics and symbolism, always had the best and worst of us involved, but the story of space travel still has the capacity to awe me like nothing else. Moon moon m o o n moon!!

I've been looking at sites that will sell you a bit of a scrapped 747 or DC-3, and there is a caution here that you shouldn't put them in your mouth, which I assume is because they've read SKY DADDY

Congratulations to Silvia Park, winner of the 2025 Otherwise Award, and to me, a guy who made the Honor List! The Otherwise honors SFF writing which both a) goes and b) enriches our thinking about gender. otherwiseaward.org/2026/03/anno...

A screenshot from the Otherwise Award website. "Notes from a Regicide by Isaac Fellman (Tor Books). A unique and ambitious text that imagines another society’s relationship with gender, and explores how trans identity expresses itself in contexts both very similar to and very far from our own—creating a natural, complex, and holistic look at trans selfhood and community. This first-person journey casts a textured look at family-hood and love in a subtle speculative context to create a work that’s more compelling and relevant than ever in today’s polarised world."

Re: previous post, sadly no photographic evidence remains of my late 1990s cosplay career (Zelgadis and Amelia from Slayers, Utena once, but my much taller high school girlfriend borrowed the Utena costume and looked much better than me in it). I had the latter two made, but Amelia was all hot glue.
