Jetse de Vries has travelled all five continents. He nearly froze to death at Salar de Uyuni, suffered heatstroke in Purnululu, got lost in Ahmednagar, faced elephants in Maamba, and has witnessed ten total solar eclipses. He’s had over sixty short stories published, was part of the Interzone editorial team and edited Shine—an anthology of optimistic SF for Solaris Books. Check out his substack The Divergent Panorama: https://jetse.substack.com .
The biggest mystery in science is consciousness. Yet nobody is interested in exploring its origins? No wonder science fiction is going down the drains . . .

Scott EdelmanAnother fruitful revision session today as the new story knits itself into shape. And it looks like there might be a happier ending to this one than I thought when I began. As a panster, I'm never focused on the destination, only the journey, so I don't know where I'm going until I get there.

4. Renewables—wind, solar—in combination with batteries (especially once vacuum flywheel technology takes off) are the future. The sooner we get there, the better. So maybe something good will come from this horrible war.
3. Still, every disadvantage has its advantage, as Johan Cruijff used to say: as fossil fuel prices rise, renewables become much more competitive. The minimum target for 2030 is 42.5%—we should double it, with such high oil prices it’ll easily make its investments back.
