So many great events online still. If you aren't in SF, you can tap into the @longnow@birdsite.weiranzhang.com seminars, but they are great in person too.

Tonight's looks really useful:

"Resisting Dystopia" with Hugo award-winning SciFi authors Becky Chambers and @annaleen:

Long NowBecky Chambers & Annalee NewitzResisting Dystopia

@bsletten @longnow @annaleen That seems super interesting, will listen online! Even though i’m in SF… gotta watch my baby

@bsletten @longnow@birdsite.weiranzhang.com @annaleen Alright, I'm watching. 🙂

@bsletten @longnow @annaleen tbh to me Becky Chambers at least in the Wayfarers series is not really describing a non-Dystopia as much as pockets of solidarity and refuge within a wider society that's still very much a capitalist hellscape... Nice in it's own way, but more "existing in Dystopia" than actively Resisting it.
