groups like the world science fiction society should be running federated servers and offering accounts as part of membership and running communities around their subject areas. It just makes so much sense to me.

Have the Hugos cleaned up their act since Adrian Tchaikovsky rejected their award two years ago for being racist and disqualifying anything that might cause political offense? Now they're giving him two at a time? Not that he doesn't deserve them, Alien Clay and Service Model were fantastic.

Also- The Ministry of Time was SUCH a fun read. Looking forward to more by Kaliane Bradley.
