My latest story is out in the world! Medical science fiction (yes, the title is a play on an early Prozac slogan). But also about #immigrant struggles and family drama. Enjoy!

LAST DAY to grab this #solarpunk story FREE!
I love @daniellearostegui.bsky.social' story in the anthology precisely because it says "do the work, right where you are". On the pod today we talk about Climate Connections and the *very cool* climate board game that's her giveaway item!

I #justfinished Ian Urbina’s Outlaw Oceans. It seems there’s a bit of controversy around the author but I think the #reportage is solid, though it does show him as an unnecessary risk taker! #ocean #environment #nonfiction #book #bookreview #bookstadon https://hollysreadingescapades.blogspot.com/2025/05/book-review-outlaw-ocean-by-ian-urbina.html?m=1
The stories of the Bright Green Futures anthology each have a theme to go with them, and I've been talking about these themes with the authors in a series of episodes on the pod. A new one drops today!

Free for only 3 more days: grab this #solarpunk story by @tkrex about clicky space centipedes! Or you can get the anthology w/ a *second* story by T. K. that's actually a prose-poem. Both are amazing!

This week's #Books in Conversation I discuss Disposable Heroes by discussing Murderbot by Martha Wells and Mickey7 by Edward Ashton
I had a lot of fun with these books and making this video

Also in #30DaysOfBiking I read a really good book about Britain's National Cycle Network.
_Potholes and Pavements_ by Laura Laker is a travelogue about her journeys around Britain by bike, but she also meets the people who built the network. It’s a history of the NCN, a love letter to it, and a long list of complaints (that I think all users share). It’s also full of hope for the future, and I want to keep quoting bits of it at people.
Slowly but surely building up a new reading habit…hoping to get more books finished over the next couple of months though.
To #bookstadon #booksky and #Justwriterthings - thanks for joining us at GSBCW - feel free to grab one of my stories at the Emergency Reality Shelter - Turn the page, light the sky. https://inkican.com/emergency-reality-shelter
