@Hypersteve Hey back! I haven't been tweeting much lately, but great to meet you too! 8:34 PM Jun 1st via Twitter for iPhone in reply to Hypersteve
@tim_hutchings Thanks! I was surprised! Over 7000 entries! 3:18 PM Apr 14th via web in reply to tim_hutchings
@sarahebourne I'm in the same boat. When I can, when it seems merited, I do buy paper copies too & use my Kindle for e-docs and some books. 3:14 PM Apr 14th via web in reply to sarahebourne
sarahebourne @godwired Disclosure: 1. I love my Kindle. 2. Most books I read aren't worth killing trees for. When they are, I buy both! 3:09 PM Apr 14th via web in reply to godwired Retweeted by godwired
@sarahebourne Thanks so much, Sarah! 2:58 PM Apr 14th via web in reply to sarahebourne

@danwhitehodge Thank YOU. You added so much to our discussion. I especially liked how you linked sci-fi with social critique. 7:11 PM Mar 21st via web in reply to danwhitehodge
@NyashaJunior @danwhitehodge Indeed, she does. Octavia Butler is amazing. 7:09 PM Mar 21st via web in reply to NyashaJunior
@NyashaJunior @danwhitehodge . . . and (both) can do so in ways that challenge us to examine existing power structures critically. 7:06 PM Mar 21st via web in reply to NyashaJunior
@NyashaJunior @danwhitehodge Would have loved to have you too! So interesting. Dan talked @ how sci-fi and theology both ask "what if". . . 7:06 PM Mar 21st via web in reply to NyashaJunior

@danwhitehodge skyped into my class tonight to talk about religion, race and sci-fi. It was awesome. So good. Thanks, Dan! 6:58 PM Mar 21st via web
@tim_hutchings Oh, yes. I agree typologies are helpful. My method is mostly to compile others' definitions and see what comes up shared. 7:48 AM Mar 16th via web in reply to tim_hutchings
@tim_hutchings Sure. And the paper I'm writing now is about the distinctions too. But we won't get far if we insist on a single definition. 7:34 AM Mar 16th via web in reply to tim_hutchings
tim_hutchings @godwired - but if you're not precise, IMO, the resonances becomes rather vague and unhelpful. distinctions are just as interesting. 7:32 AM Mar 16th via web in reply to godwired Retweeted by godwired
@tim_hutchings But also, perhaps "do not kill" as a rule is more akin to "do not cheat." 7:29 AM Mar 16th via web in reply to tim_hutchings
@tim_hutchings I suppose so. I'm wary of too much definitional precision, tho perhaps I shouldn't be. I'm more interested in resonances. 7:29 AM Mar 16th via web in reply to tim_hutchings
