Links: Becky Chambers, Bird Dads, & More

Workspace with computer, journal, books, coffee, and glasses.It’s Wednesday, y’all! And that means it’s time for Links!

Half of these links came from our wonderful Discord community – thank you! “How can I get into the Discord?” you might be wondering. It’s a perk from joining the Patreon! On top of that, you also get bonus podcast episodes, usually with me or including cut material from the Friday episodes.

Last week, I celebrated my birthday with my wonderful partner and just felt really loved. Honestly, couldn’t ask for a better outcome. The tasty food and treats I ate all week were a definite plus!

Tamora Pierce’s Song of the Lioness quartet will be getting a 40th anniversary reissue! You can peep the cover designs and full details here.

If you watched Rings of Power, like fashion, and also like art (or even some duo of these), enjoy this reflection on the TV show’s costuming as it relates to pre-Raphaelite influence. Nerd out!

EC Spurlock sent us this really cute story about a bald eagle incubating a rock. Eventually, he gets to make his bird dad dreams come true!

Hugo award-winning science fiction authors, Becky Chambers and Annalee Newitz had a wonderful discussion on “resisting dystopia.” You can watch a video of the streamed event here.

Don’t forget to share what cool or interesting things you’ve seen, read, or listened to this week! And if you have anything you think we’d like to post on a future Wednesday Links, send it my way!

    I loved the Alanna books (Tamora Pierce) and I think I will pick up the reissue… the anniversary box set is spendy in Canada, unfortunately, but it was such a big influence for me, i think it’s worth it.

    Was the Martha Wells in the headline just a teaser?

    This rom-com worthy tweet thread of a woman meeting a man at the airport, exchanging numbers on the flight is so cool:

    @Zuzus: Nope, just a mistake! I was conflating Becky and Martha in my head while typing.

    That thread on Pre-Raphaelite costuming in LOTR is fascinating. I have always loved that style, even if it is a little over-romanticized.

    Murphy getting a baby makes me happy. And I saw that they’re going to auction off his (non-hatching) rock.
