OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I really enjoyed those! Carl's white hot rage against systems that turn people into things charmed me. Also Princess Donut. 010
OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Oof. I had my first one last year. Thinking of you. 111
OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Ooh! This is relevant to my interests! 021
OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 21/06/2026You made me snort hard enough to hurt myself 010
OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 31/05/2026Either Here Where We Live Is Our Country by Molly Crabapple or The Ultimate Hidden Truth of the World by David Graeber. One Day Everyone Will Have Been Against This by Omar El Akkad and Fighting for the Puyallup by Ramona Bennett are close runners ups. 170
OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 26/05/2026I didn't read Moby Dick until my Law, Language, and Literature professor told me I could skip the whaling bits. With those bits skimmed, I found it a profound meditation on living life in a world run by powerful madmen. My husband didn't skip them and thought it was hilariously homoerotic. 010
OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Thank you for this story. I am heartbroken that the original charges were filed based on a lie, and hardened. The Hennepin County is taking this stance. 041
OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Doctorow. KSR. Naomi Novak. Mark Dinaman. 010
OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Just finished @tkingfisher.com’s brilliant meditation on our relationship with the others who use our bodies, Wolf Worm. Just started @planetmoney.bsky.social’s probably brilliant meditation on, I suspect, how our economic system turns us into means to others’ ends. THEY BOTH HAVE SCREWWORMS. 020
OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Ha! That’s great. What a freaking liar he is. 010
OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 07/04/2026To balance all of the actual walls that are out there, I hear! I didn't make it to that panel -- I went to the "how do you say hello to something that might not register you exist" panel at the same time. So many good options! 010
OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 06/04/2026The fact Stephen Miller and I both love Star Trek disturbs any peace I might have with the universe. 3100
OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 06/04/2026You did such a good job! thank you! 000
OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 06/04/2026I did! though I tend to go to panels on fascism and neurodivergence, which make it meaningful but not always delightful. I did get to ask @tkingfisher.com about meeting Peter S. Beagle and a bunch of scientists about why narwhals exist; that was wacky fun. 110
OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 06/04/2026I finally watched Jeannette Ng's Hugo acceptance speech. Blows my mind how much of the embedded white supremacy I missed in science fiction. Thank you for writing that book and your panel at Worldcon. I think about it a lot. 110
OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 06/04/2026@margaret.bsky.social Just got back from #norwescon where your book, Everything that Isn't Winter, got a nice shout out at a cozy apocalypse panel. David Graeber got a nice shoutout at a world building panel too. Made me feel a little less alone in this world! 010
OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 06/04/2026@jordanscarroll.bsky.social Just got back from #norwescon where there was a fantastic panel on prejudice in SFF where the moderator, www.instagram.com/thenoirpearl/, read extensively from Speculative Whiteness. Led to a great and hard discussion. 130
OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Looking forward to seeing you and a little worried about this Line you all are talking about. 000
OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 29/03/2026@charliejane.bsky.social Just read "Realer than Real." Brilliant. "The justice didn't make the mibblemungle noise of the EnforcerBots as they descended. Instead, it was more of a deep, sonorous gubblegobble sound." As a lawyer, I applaud your legal acumen. 110
OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 21/03/2026We had such a good time! You did an amazing job. 010
OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 15/03/2026I am a lawyer, and yes, yes it is. 0232
OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Hope you find relief soon! I’ve had that on my hands and it sucked. 110

OnceandfutureLaura @onceandfuturelaura.bsky.social · 16/02/2026Yikes. I’m much less interested in seeing it someday now. 100
