It took me a week to catch my breath and write this expansive report on Star Body winning the Galaxy Award (🏆) and Galaxycon 2025 itself!
Plus thoughts on the continuity from 2023 Chengdu Worldcon and what last week meant for Chinese SF fandom! 🐼🚀

No audience in the world ever thought "James Bond" was a fixed continuity. There are nods to past events, recurring characters and themes, but a new actor will very easily be accepted as a new timeline, a new thing. Craig's death doesn't have to be reckoned with or mentioned in the slightest.

Reading for the first time SF classic Roadside Picnic by the Strugatsky brothers, the 2012 translation by Olena Bormashenko with this arresting cover, and I might as well quit writing.

There's a rad SF-themed café in Chengdu called Ansible and it just celebrated its official opening. I visited it in September and spent a few days there to write stories! Excellent company.

Het zou toch verdorie mooi zijn als we dat ene zeteltje meer krijgen.
We gaan nek-aan-nek, maar hebben de PVV bijna ingehaald. Het is mogelijk: voor het eerst in 25 jaar een linkse premier en een progressief kabinet. Maak GroenLinks-PvdA morgen de grootste!
