It’s 5pm. Quitting time. Noah shuts down his workstation, gathers his things, picks up Oscar and places him on the shelf. He walks by Linus’ desk and they walk to the elevator together.
Linus asks, “You going to see your girl tonight?”
“Yup.”
“What’s her name?”
“Anna.” -

https://ncg.org/news/climate-migration-californias-next-systems-challenge-what-philanthropy-can-do
No idea if #private #philanthropy is the right audience - but #government most certainly is.
"A New Faith" - esp. Part 2 - is the fictional story of #climate #migration and the rest of the novel imagines the life of #migrants in a classic #whodunnit genre.

🔩 Silo (Apple TV+) – Secrets, lies, and life underground
🌌 Andor (Disney+) – The Rebellion begins with a spark
🚀 For All Mankind (Apple TV+) – What if the space race never ended?
🧟♂️ The Last of Us (Max) – Fungi, fear, and fierce survival
🧠 Severance (Apple TV+) – Work-life balance, but terrifyingGot recs in the same vein? Drop them below 👇✨🛸

Hi fellow book nerds! I'm trying to put together a Utopian Book Club (focused on novels and novellas). I want to include LeGuin's The Dispossessed and @pluralistic 's Walkaway, but from there I've got an endless list of mostly white dudes.
What cool utopian fiction by BIPOC writers have I missed out on?

@writingcommunity How do you deal with the excruciatingly long wait between finishing a manuscript and seeing it in print?
My debut novella #DRECK has been waiting with the publisher so long that #dreampunk legend Jeff Noon read it and wrote a nice little review a full year and a half ago (#bragging, #nameDropping). Edits and illustrations are complete, just waiting in line behind one other book now. 🥲
