The Broadview Anthology of Science Fiction takes a "broad view" of science fiction in terms of its histories, themes, forms, and communities. Covering over two hundred years, the anthology focuses on short fiction but also includes comic strips, images, and speculative poetry. It also recognizes the wide range of futurist and SF traditions, including Afrofuturism, Indigenous Futurisms, Feminist SF, and more. Fully annotated with information about authors and texts as well as full explanatory notes, the anthology also includes an introduction that discusses the many competing definitions of-and methods of studying-science fiction and offers an historical and cultural overview of the genre.

Hey Siri, explain the divide between a university president’s salary and the pay of people teaching hundreds of students on per-course contracts as well as the difference in their relative necessity in actually making the university function…. but do it with a baseball meme.

It’s doublespeak shit like this from my admin that has me instinctively shouting “LOCK OUT” every time a “strike” is called in this ballgame.

A thread with a few more from Galway, at the end of July. Editing now following losing August and September to Dalhousie admin nonsense. Most of these were taken on the Salthill Promenade or the University of Galway's Biodiversity walk. #Birds #NaturePhotography #Ireland

True leadership is acting on behalf of and for the benefit of those who can do better than you, being happy when they prove they can do so, and stepping aside for them.
“Leadership” is a platform you build from beneath for others to stand on, not a bully pulpit. 4/6
