Books@lemmy.world•What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? April 28
0·10 days agoJust finished Blindsight by Peter Watts and The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler. Both are very good books that I highly recommend. Unbeknownst to me when I picked them up, they are both about consciousness.
Just started Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky and When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi. I’m liking Service Model so far. When the Moon Hits Your Eye is a bit cheesy (sorry for the pun).

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•[Meta] Posting comics from transphobic artists?
0·25 days agoThis isn’t book burning. This is more like we’re refusing to print and distribute more copies of their books for them.

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•[Meta] Posting comics from transphobic artists?
0·25 days agoAfter reading the comments here I have been convinced we should create a list of these artists, and none of their content is welcome in this community.
Main points being:
- allowing their “nice” content creates a pipeline for users to their bigotry
- having it signals to new users we are ok with content from bigots
- it should make moderating easier because there is no need to deliberate what is ok by that creator
Nazis, racists, transphobes, homophobes are not welcome here under any context!

0·1 month agoJust finished “How to Commit a Postcolonial Murder” and “Binti”
The former is very good lit fic. It does deal with some tough topics including rape and murder, but it’s very good. Highly recommend.
Binti is very short, but well done. The book won a Hugo award.
Currently reading “Blindsight.” It’s also quite good, though I’m only through the first section.
Anna’s Archive!
If you want to support the author you can still buy the physical book and donate it, or see if they have a patreon (or similar) to donate to.
Such a good book. I love the epistolary format.
