I’ve seen more than one person do the “oh, there’s a big football game on?” and implying they’re better than everyone else by posting about how they’re doing *anything else*, so it’s time to bring this out again.

One of the cool things I get to do at the day job: play with moon rocks!
NASA is preparing to launch astronauts to the Moon for the first time since 1972 onboard the NASA Artemis mission this spring!
We have a tiny connection to this moment in history: we hold a pair of Moon rocks gifted to the State of Vermont from the Apollo 11 and Apollo 17 missions!

Probably Aurora, the moon orbiting Tau Ceti e in Kim Stanley Robinson's Aurora. I think about how much that book changed how I thought about space colonies.
Time for another giveaway! One lucky reader will win a copy of our signed limited edition of @aptshadow.bsky.social's ALIEN CLAY! To enter, tell us your favorite alien world (and Dune is not allowed as an answer--too easy!). Int'l, ends 2/11 at noon ET.

Due to a series of unforeseen expenses, I need to raise some cash before royalty season rolls around at the beginning of April. Because of that, I am going to do something I don't usually do and offer paid mentoring sessions for aspiring writers.
