I'd been thinking about making some time to read _Project Hail Mary_ so I could go see the movie and join the convo about it. And then I read this 👇🏻.

Nice to not have to crowbar that into my schedule, but overall? I'd rather Andy Weir had just not been a shitwaffle. Seriously, I am _so sick and tired_ of white-guy SF authors turning out to be right-wing assholes.

(Also, the thing about "there's no symbolism or themes in my work"... dafuq? Why would any writer say something like that? 🤯🤡)

@kagan people who are incapable of stepping outside their own culture (because they've never had to) often believe that they're never "political", because for them, "politics" means "stuff that makes me step outside my own direct needs".
