      5/ just scanning down the top three, we've got: - 100% female - 67% trans - 67% non white ...in a word where SF is written by ~90% men, ~90% white, and ~99% cis. If you think that the "Best Science Fiction Books of the year" are being chosen by literary merit think again.

      6/ Can women write great SF? Of course. Can trans write great SF? Of course. Can non whites write great SF? Of course. The left, though, doesn't want a level playing field. They want to take over institutions, promote their own, and shove their propaganda down your throat.

          Now, I’m a teen librarian, not adult, but I’m also the SF nut of the branch, (not to mention I publish primarily SF myself) and I have never heard/seen any of these. Okay, I checked. 1&2 are not available yet, 3rd has 10 copies in system, out once each since April.

          I can say that 30-40% of all the teen books I get in new are LGBT+, (and heavy-handed) about 90% female authored, and 80-90% geared to average female readers and LGBT+ readers. Not that they’re popular. Most if them I end up pulling 2 years later having never gone out.

          ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Koog

          12/ The Hugo is absolute garbage these days. Quickly looking at the Nebula, it looks like no male has won in 6 years, but 20% of recent winners are trans ...so, that suggests it's another "identity" award. Dragon is ok. Prometheus is pretty based 😉.https://twitter.com/And_Kumgue/status/1460752592410058752 …

          Do you place any merit in sci fi awards still? I found some of my favorite novels from the Hugo and Nebula awards but they were all published a decade+ ago.

          Write it. Have a friend sanity-check it. Fix the typos. Find a cover. Put it up on the market. Write the next one.
