2/ the important thing here is that it's important to realize that Quality is real, and is not exactly the same as "what I like". Samuel R Denaly was a good writer, but I didn't like what he wrote. etc

Uppity Hobbit: Maker of Things @uppityhobbitI’ve been ranting about this since I was a teen. One of the hallmarks of maturity, to my mind, is understanding that just because you don’t like something, doesn’t mean it sucks. My go to example is most bluegrass music.

8/ Maybe ! I've attended Based Con in 2021, Reader Con maybe twice circa 2008 or so, and Arisia once c. 1999 I'm not a huge con person; it involves leaving my house!https://twitter.com/MosheYudkowsky/status/1483527596902162437 …

11/ The bloated sun looming over the city. The meat hooks swinging in air with no breeze. The bread that had mold all the way through it. Yes...visually stunning / infectious novel.
