it was a strange time in the industry. Things have gotten, you know, fascist nowadays, so relatively it doesn’t seem like that time is salient, but it was low-key kind of weird then. felt like this track www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaKD...
I will tell everyone and my mom about your book good luck x

was also at the Caprica launch party/premiere/panel at ArcLight (the redemption arc to my BSG misadventure story) — were you there (wouldn’t be surprised if you were)? If so do you recall that it was sponsored by a soon-failed tech product — ZUNE, and if so, do you still have your free bricked ZUNE?

But have you heard the story of winning NBC Universal’s Battlestar Galactica Everywhere Sweepstakes, the most mediocre sweepstakes winning ever? (I won it. And I used to have a popular LA blagh. A potent combo.) jessicastover.com/entry.php?id...

Scifi author: I work to keep congloms out of my publishing chain as much as possible, hire the same top editors that publishers do externally to work on my novels. The only pt I haven’t solved is distro platforms. It has cost me, but anyone who knows my biz story knows why I’m INDIE

& give me a shout if you ever want to know what was going on with this on the film/scifi side with funding during the regressive backlash to the Obama era pre-2016/pre-gamergate. I haven’t read the book yet but I figure there’s no way it’s in there since it was insider-y & the players often failed.

I’m late to the party & just put this on my read-soon list: I sincerely hope you nail it inside so that I can stop explaining these issues myself and instead send everyone—everyone!—to your book! Also thank you for this introduction to your analysis 🌌 sciencefictionruminations.com/2025/01/06/e...

… prompting the data to read that your telomeres were longer when in reality telomeres are longer in some cells vs others and more of those cells were present at that time? ty from a curious mil scifi writer/space researcher. 🌌

In terms of the studies about your year in space and the lengthening of your telomeres, do you know if there has been any theorizing/study regarding whether this effect might also might apply to what you experienced, i.e. “the composition of their white blood cells changed” …

Today I was skimming this article www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/202... which is mostly useless until at the end there was a section (screengrab!) that caught my attention. …

I listened to Endurance alongside Venki Ramakrishnan’s book on molecular biology and aging, which includes a chapter on discoveries around telemores so far. …

Well covered. I admit I’ve worried this necessary progress would somehow be delegitimized, captured or gotten rid of, just as you explored. Much as with actors/colleagues who make other anti-labor statements, I’m oft surprised at anti-labor statements about this safeguard. You know, cool girl shit.

meanwhile I fired 42West due to their publicist not doing what they said/bullshitting this same kind of thing and got a refund on my entire account. Not a secret b/c was asked in a news interview about it. Totally diff. people worked there then vs now though. But it hurt my film project at the time.
