I had the opportunity to speak on a panel at Forum Fantástico on Friday and to my pleasure, the next speaker was an academic expert on climate fiction! forumfantastico.org Who knew...

What is alternate history - and what's the point of writing about real things that didn't happen? Thanks so much to @habitatpress.bsky.social for this interview.

Looking at your posts, I realize that you probably get that reaction a lot <3

Too soon?

Sure, but have you checked with the Executive Director of the Institute for Corporate Governance's Executive Commission on the Accompaniment and Monitoring of Societies' Codes of Governance? Because I have, and she had some pretty good ideas. Also that's the real job title of a real person.

I made a prediction, based only on the poster, that a certain movie would be terrible. I just read a review where it got 1/5 stars. The critic said it got that one star because there was a dog. This makes me irrationally happy.

We can assume that Zod is still speaking Kryptonese, which Superman, given that he left the planet as a baby, presumably doesn't know. Thus Superman is just listening, baffled, as this alien guy jabbers on about something. If we hear it in English, it's because the movie people translated it for us.

I had just recovered from _The Cry of the Crow_ a few years earlier when a teacher gave me a copy of FfA. Damnnnn.

I met Newsom when he came to Hong Kong. He's charismatic and witty but he hears what he wants to, and as such is not the political force of nature he imagines himself to be.

One thing I am looking forward to this fall is no longer waking up early on what I know is going to be a hot day. I don't mind that, per se, but I hate the existential dread that comes with it nowadays.

I just looked up AOC's age and she's old enough already.

Hey, a fellow climate optimist author! Only this one is non-fiction.

@janleewriter.bsky.socialSep 17, 2026, 5:19 PM

You don't do it for YouTube. You do it for us. For all of us.

@janleewriter.bsky.socialSep 15, 2026, 5:36 PM

Do you have recommendations about what those rules should look like?

The same Seth Mnookin who wrote a book about antivaxxers? He was in my first year expository writing class in college. (He and the instructor took their smoke breaks together.)

Because of the lack of non car oriented infrastructure, there is often nowhere else for them to run.
