I'm not a playing card collector, but I've bought some sets from these folks just because they're wickedly cool, including Dune, Beowulf, and the three Lord of the Rings decks. New one! I just backed THE HOBBIT™ Playing Card Deck: @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/kin...

Judith Moffett's The Ragged World should be an exception. The new @patrickswenson.bsky.social Fairwood Press edition is the first physical publication for 34 years and it couldn't be more timely in some ways. A pioneering work of environmental SF up there with KSR, a radical look into sexuality 2/3

Reissued books don't get reviews in places like @locusmag.bsky.social @strangehorizons.bsky.social or @ancillaryreviewofbooks.org etc often, most attention goes on the new. Unfortunately that means that it doesn't take much for a writer to be forgotten especially a woman or writer of colour. 1/2
