This has been such an amazing thread in a garbage week.

I’m still super light on Asian languages & have almost nothing from Africa, so still hit me up if you can help there!

I need the phrase (or its equivalent in everyday casual speech) of “What the fuck” in as many languages as possible. Go.

What they didn't tell you about the apocalypse is you'd still have to perform administrative tasks.

Big shoutout today to the Finnish Ambassador to Australia, Arto Haapea, and his husband Steven Morton, who have completed the Shitbox Rally in the Happiest Car in the World and raised more than 50.000 AusD for cancer research. Cheers and well done!

It's interesting to see and hear conventions being more diverse and international. A presentation on the academic track by some Chinese researches, Polish being talked in the main hall of the convention hall and hearing German at the breakfast table.

Cheryl Morgan: You have both written eco-scifi. Can you tell us a little bit about how you approach these difficult environmental themes?
#jeffvandermeer: I didn’t set out to write eco fiction. It’s just that I’ve lived in so many places with magnificient biodiversity, like Southern Florida. So, that’s just sort of seeped into my writing.
#EmmiItäranta: I didn’t set out to write eco fiction either. It’s just that I have a lot of anxiety about the world and what humans are doing to the environment. So, of course that’s reflected in my writing.

It’s true what they say, then: Life always finds a way (in)! #archipelacon2 #OnWriting #ecofiction #ecoscifi
