Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully, dictating either her case notes or an autopsy report
What We are Seeking by Cameron Reed It's so great. Gives me lots to talk about with my kid who is kind of an anthropology nerd. But I've got to hurry or get back in the holds queue.
It's really bothering me that boomers are assigned a newer technology than Gen X
For some reason, mention of this movie made me think of the Eastwood-Orangutan franchise (including original song) and I am holding you responsible
I never know when to not take a joke literally, but there's this place in Tacoma, Washington:
For the Diaspora square: The Obake Code by Makana Yamamoto, featuring many characters from Hammajang Luck I think it fits the theme because of how the different characters bring elements of their Earth cultures (especially Hawaiian) to this off-world sci-fi future.
This just felt important to read as soon as I heard about it, so it goes in the Own Choice square: The AI Con by Emily Bender @emilymbender.bsky.social and Alex Hanna @alexhanna.bsky.social . I wish every podcast came with its own foundational text. #BookBingoNW2026 📚💙
For the Honorable Mention square: We Will Rise Again: Speculative Stories and Essays on Protest, Resistance, and Hope (Locus winner) Edited by Malka Older, Karen Lord, Annalee Newitz and also featuring @charliejane.bsky.social @nkjemisin.bsky.social @nisishawl.bsky.social #BookBingoNW2026 💙📚
Catching up on recently completed books: The Book of Records by Madeleine Thien for the Water square (a pervasive motif in this story about voyagers) The Warden by Daniel M. Ford for Hard-to-Love Protagonist (but necromancer cops don't need love, right?) ... 💙📚
Finished The Shadow Key by Susan Stokes-Chapman, probably going in the Historical square. Fun somewhat spooky mystery in 18th C Wales. #BookBingoNW2026 📚💙
Starting book bingo with Uncommon Favor by Dawn Staley for Women's Sports #BookBingoNW2026 📚💙
I'm choosing the bonus episode "A myriad of numbers" for that big ↁ (5,000) energy
I enjoyed True Color by @korystamper.bsky.social so much I went back and also listened to Word by Word, which I had missed before. Required reading for (amateur) word nerds. The audiobook reading is always a treat when the author nails the delivery of their own jokes.
Airport '77, specifically Christopher Lee floating past the window in front of his wife
Randomly reading a book series I found in some old boxes. I don't remember if I've read them before. Trying to do this knowing as little as possible in advance. All I really remember is these are 70s-80s SFF, 6 books, by a male author.
