Another volume of #Malazan is complete! #MemoriesOfIce is just as epic in scope as the first two volumes and just as satisfying, but man, are these books A LOT.

#TwoFlags is back with a look at one of my favorite flags in the entire world (Greenland) and another one that's pretty awesome as well (Kurdistan):

#AdAstra was a beautiful movie-- probably the closest I've seen a sci-fi movie come to capturing the visual style of #2001ASpaceOdyssey. But it felt... empty.

Toxicity in fandom is ruining sci-fi and fantasy. Can't we all just have nice things? (BTW, #StarfleetAcademy is genuinely getting good!)
