Tag to mute: #BokBooks | ~800 words

●●◐○○ Home to Mother - Manly Wade Wellman (ss) 1950
Just as World War Three was breaking out, a small group of scientists who saw it coming escaped with their families in the rocket they'd secretly built.¹ Forty thousand years² later, a small ship with a crew of three returns from Venus to see how things on Earth are, and to determine if more ships should come. They find signs of primitive people – gardens and simple tools – but no individuals, at first. When they do, things are not as they'd hoped.

●●●○○ Space is for Suckers - Rog Phillips (ss) 1958
Life on Terra Two is difficult. Earth pine trees only grow a hand tall amidst the forests of giant mushrooms. But the tough pioneer men and their mail-order brides survive. Though Nora, bride of Jed, hates the place and wants to go back to Earth. Then she gives birth, and finds the planet both worse than she expected, and herself permanently bound to it.

●●●○○ The Council on Jerusalem - Pierre E Pettinger Jr {Sodality Universe 5} (nov) 2023
The Benefactors, a new player on the galactic scene, has sown chaos among the known powers by attacking unaligned worlds with copies of their ships. The unaligned worlds are having a conference to see what they can do about the three major powers seemingly attacking them.³ Meanwhile, cooperating task forces of the Confederation, the Chemosk Empire, and the Lanyr Great Herd attack a Benefactor outpost. (I must say, while there is action, there's damn little progress on finding out where the Benefactors come from. It's becoming annoying.) #SpaceOpera

●●●○○ Scanners Live in Vain - Cordwainer Smith (ss) 1950
Hyperspace travel is physical agony for humans; they must travel sedated. Ship's crew are habermans: condemned criminals, with their brains surgically disconnected from their bodies, making them biological robots immune to the Great Pain. They're overseen by Scanners, humans who sacrificed their humanity to be made into more-functional habermans so that the Instrumentality of Mankind might have star travel. But what happens to Scanners when shielding is developed that lets normal humans remain conscious in hyperspace? #ClassicSciFi

●●●●○ Voyage to Queensthroat - Anya Johanna DeNiro (ss) 2020
Some fifty years after the Empire of Marigolds collapsed, the Pure Army swept the Known Moons (as distinct from the “shit moons in the outer belt”), making everyone suffer. “Women who used to be men, like me” in particular, says the first-person narrator. The old soldier fled her moon, also managing to save a child who wanted to #transition, one who went on to crush the Pure Army. #transgender

●●●◐○ The Raid on the Termites - Paul Ernst (nvt) 1932
An entomologist daydreams about being shrunk to ant-size and exploring a termite mound. His adventurous friend finds the notion of being “suddenly confronted by a thing as big as a horse, with fifteen-foot jaws of steely horn that could slice [him] in two” exciting. Lucky for them both, another scientist friend can oblige, using the grossest #ShrinkRay I've ever encountered. #pulp

●●●○○ Belladonna Nights - Alastair Reynolds (ss) 2017
Immortal humans duplicate themselves a thousand times, with these shatterlings traveling around the galaxy experiencing all the wonders and terrors it has. Every 200,000 years they meet and share memories with others. Seemingly all of Mimosa Line survived the last Cycle, but Shaula thinks something odd is going on, and that Campion, a guest from Gentian Line, knows what the truth is.

●●●●○ Usurpation {Semiosis 3} - Sue Burke (nov) 2024
Centuries of climate change, war, disease, and famine have knocked the human population of Earth down to a quarter billion by 2900. Some cities are mostly intact, but many are abandoned, as is much of the countryside. We follow the lives of a half-dozen humans in various locales, and see both suffering and hope. We also follow a secretly-sapient rainbow bamboo grove, grown from seeds brought back from another world centuries ago, as she watches humans. As a new disease spreads, she ponders if she, and her sister groves all over the world, should try to intervene and save the dwindling human tribe.

[1] Vaguely similar to the _Twilight Zone_ episode "Third from the Sun".

[2] What the bleep is it with ridiculously long time spans in #SciFi? Wars that last thousands of years, empires that last tens of thousands, more. And there's always negligible progress over the span.

[3] Realistically, nothing. Even the smallest of the Big Three has vastly more power than the combined military or economic might of the unaligned star-nations.

Back at it again are Brendan and Brandon with another joke to play with their roommate Bryce, but this time the target isn't who the cougar thinks it is...

for kilodyne, a drawing of a creature called Lisa Lynx who I hear has a shrink ray but fortunately I have not been directly acquainted with that.

This is your regular reminder to have a designated macro whenever you play with shrink rays.

Shrinking can be disorienting, and the last thing you want is to be stuck on the floor, naked and unable to reach anything.

...Well, maybe that isn't the last thing I'd want.

Not good...backed into a corner by

@crabbedleaf.bsky.social with a shrink ray loading up in front of me... What am I to do!? A fun little drawing by me.

So it's both #MacroMonday and #PawDay? Nice! Well, enjoy this pic of my alter-ego, Zeven, being trapped under a huge and blissfully unaware husky, just out of reach of his shrink ray. ;)

Today’s #MicroMusing

Shrink rays and other size reduction technology should always be unreliable. The questions of how much and how long should be open-ended.

Sure, there’s reassurance in knowing the specifics, but it’s a lot more fun narratively when there are more unknowns:

You miss the intended height, leaving you too small or too big for your original plans.

Not everything on your person gets shrunk like you expected.

The wrong target gets hit.

Everyone in the vicinity gets hit.

The dang thing breaks immediately after use.

Generally I want the option for the situation to be reversible, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be frustrating, difficult, or even embarrassing.

What's more fun than drawing my own #ShrinkRay? Nothing tonight, that's for sure. It still needs a trigger, shadows and highlights, and other little details that won't be apparent once I reduce it to fit my target drawing, but boy am I having fun with it. The only problem is that it isn't real, and I really can't use it to shrink the person of my dreams and make him my tiny little personal #toy. My favorite thing about it is the different shrinking settings Icame up with. 💜💜💜
