Jess Glanz @jessglanz.bsky.social · 22/09/2026This is fantastic news! Scientists found that parts of the brain are made of fundamentally different types of cells, which means they may now be able to grow hindbrain cells. And that opens up treatment research for conditions like ALS, which I have personal beef with for killing my friend Fawn. 020
Jess Glanz @jessglanz.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I yell about Drunk On All Your Strange New Words by @eddierobson.bsky.social all the time and everyone I’ve recommended it to has loved it as much as I do. It’s such a great concept and so much fun. I have no idea why it didn’t make a bigger splash. 264
Jess Glanz @jessglanz.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Thank you, Fat Bear Week, for making me remember that there are actual elections here this weekend. I was halfway to the polling station in a panic before figuring out they’re not till tomorrow, but it’s fitting that fat bears should be the ones to remind me to vote in Berlin. 010
Jess Glanz @jessglanz.bsky.social · 15/09/2026You can’t hear the Mountain Goats cover of Come In From The Cold by Joni Mitchell that’s playing in my head because I’m imagining it, but I invite you to imagine it too because it’s an absolute banger. 120
Jess Glanz @jessglanz.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Experienced two hours of devastation where I thought I had to cut my main POV character to make the story work but then I realised I can just make her more of a bitch and it fixes everything 😊 100
Jess Glanz @jessglanz.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Back from Valencia, where I got to see both the total eclipse and @bennettmckenna.bsky.social! We had a lovely time and the eclipse was absolutely astonishing. I feel so lucky I got to see it, and in such good company too. It was genuinely one of the most awe-inspiring things I’ve ever seen. 151

Jess Glanz @jessglanz.bsky.social · 05/08/2026SHRIEKING about this. I love Freya’s books and A Power Unbound was genuinely so hot I had to put it down and pace several times while reading. If you haven’t got your ticket yet, go get it now!! 120
Jess Glanz @jessglanz.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Reading Harrow the Ninth on holiday has me thinking things like “Hmm, I should ward the hotel door…” Lock, Jess. The word is “lock”. 010
Jess Glanz @jessglanz.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I think it should be legal to break into a church if it’s locked but you know there’s medieval stonework inside, actually. 021

Jess Glanz @jessglanz.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Just made my own pesto! I bet most people don’t know that with just a little effort, a bunch of ingredients that cost more bought separately than together, and SO MUCH CLEANUP, you can make something only slightly worse than you would buy in a jar at the supermarket. And it’ll go off quicker, too 💖 021
Jess Glanz @jessglanz.bsky.social · 12/07/2026I am SO excited for this. Siren Events have a great track record for fantastic panels and interviews—I got my ticket as soon as sales opened! 172
Jess Glanz @jessglanz.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Highly recommend this keynote speech from #Metropolcon I spent the following three days of the con asking people if they’d seen it and everyone agreed it was brilliant. 000
Jess Glanz @jessglanz.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Listen, I just really think not enough sci-fi fans knows about ‘39 by Queen. We got space travel. We got time dilation. We got brave astronauts setting out in search of a new planet to save their civilisation. And it’s a banger. Tell your book club about ‘39 by Queen. m.youtube.com/watch?v=kE8k...m.youtube.comQueen - '39 (Official Lyric Video)YouTube video by Queen Official 142
Jess Glanz @jessglanz.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Off to day 3 of #metropolcon! It‘s been amazing. I especially loved @aiki-mira.bsky.social’s keynote on technofascism and the utopian European project, and the indie vs tradpub and queer writing panels. Looking forward to today’s workshop on translation and increasing the visibility of European SFF! 141
Jess Glanz @jessglanz.bsky.social · 27/05/2026This is FANTASTIC. The rhythm, the alliteration! I don’t think I’ve ever read a translation that feels this lively. I very much think we should be translating old texts into colloquial speech—a lot of translators have too much respect for the text and not enough for the story. 162
Jess Glanz @jessglanz.bsky.social · 07/01/2026My Zeide took one look at 2026 and decided it wasn’t for him, so this week has been a lot of travelling, funeral prep and attendance, and starting to sort through his things. I really appreciate this lovely tribute written by his friend Kate Thompson: katethompsonauthor.substack.com/p/farewell-h...katethompsonauthor.substack.comFarewell Henry. The last boy to board the Kindertransport.It is with great sadness that I learnt of the passing of my friend Henry Glanz. 121
Jess Glanz @jessglanz.bsky.social · 01/08/2025I have reached the point in writing a story about magical auditing and accountancy where I need to actually do some maths and I am not being brave about it at all. 030
