There\u2019s now only one published Joanna Russ story that I don\u2019t have a copy of (and a university library may be sending me that last one soon). And I\u2019m making progress on a couple of Russ-related projects.<\/li>\r\n
I\u2019ve been helping the Otherwise Award folks catch up on various tasks and get their email addresses a little more organized. More on this to follow later this week.<\/li>\r\n
I recently read and loved Terry Bisson\u2019s 1988 short novel Fire on the Mountain<\/cite>. An alternate history in which John Brown and Harriet Tubman succeeded in their raid at Harpers Ferry, leading eventually to a socialist utopia. Really good stuff.<\/li>\r\n
Kam and I recently re-watched the first Spider-Verse movie and watched the second one for the first time, and I loved both of them. Astonishing movies. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen anything else like them.<\/li>\r\n
I\u2019m writing a story for the 250-word-titles anthology. I don\u2019t expect it to be brilliant, but I think\/hope it\u2019ll be fun (both to write and to read).<\/li>\r\n
I\u2019ve reached a 300-day streak on Duolingo.<\/li>\r\n
I got a version of my r\u00e9sum\u00e9 done (thanks to a couple of people who reviewed it), which I\u2019ve been putting off doing for about a year. Hoping to get another, slightly more polished, version done soon, and start sending it out.<\/li>\r\n
I\u2019m making ongoing gradual progress on various other projects too.<\/li>\r\n
I have, overall, a pretty rich and full life, with people I care about and who care about me, and engaging projects, and interesting things to read and watch and play and listen to.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,29,44,27,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","category-life-updates","category-movies","category-speculative-fiction","category-work"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20999"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20999\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21000,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20999\/revisions\/21000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
