While I’m still slightly concerned that I’m never going to be truly productive ever again, this week was definitely an improvement. Regardless, I didn’t accomplish half what I would have liked to finish. Instead, I finished school shopping for my daughter, read a couple of books, finally watched Suffragette (It was good. I cried.), cooked some meals, and even exercised some in an effort to try and get back into a more healthful routine. All of which is good, but obviously not what I had hoped to spend the week doing.

Still, it wasn’t a bad week, all things considered. The exercise, in particular, goes a long way towards improving my energy level–I’m also quitting Red Bull, which doesn’t help anything (except my chances of developing diabetes, probably)–but the truth is that there just are never enough hours in the day for me to do everything I want. One of these days I’m going to come to terms with this.

The Kickstarter for Ragnarok Publications’ Hath No Fury anthology hit its funding goal this week and has moved along to working towards stretch goals. Meanwhile, editor Melanie Meadors has started hoofing it around the SFF blogosphere to promote the project. You can read her guest post at Terrible Minds and her great interview at Fantasy Book Critic.

Yesterday was H.P. Lovecraft’s birthday, and earlier this week saw the publication of Kij Johnson’s Lovecraft-inspired Tor.com novella, The Dream-Quest of Velitt Boe, which has made this a bit of a Lovecraft[ian]-heavy week in terms of internet reading and listening.

• At the Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog, there’s a wonderful roundtable discussion between Kij Johnson and fellow Lovecraft-inspired authors Kassandra Khaw and Ruthanna Emrys where they talk about reclaiming the Lovecraft Mythos.
• Kij Johnson appeared on Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy this week to promote her book.
• At Kirkus, John DeNardo points out that Lovecraftian fiction is alive and well, with an excellent list of recent books to check out.

Tangentially related (because there’s a cat in The Dream-Quest of Velitt Boe) is the Wertzone’s post on the cats of science fiction and fantasy.

Mothership Zeta published a look at some of the other companion animals in popular fantasy. I don’t know about you, but I still want a Pern dragon, even after 25 years since I first discovered Dragonflight.

At Ars Technica, Annalee Newitz writes about why Star Trek keeps going back to its roots.

The Establishment covers the evolution of LGBTQ+ YA literature.

Book Riot lists SF in translation for Women in Translation Month.

There were two movie trailers of note that dropped this week, for Hidden Figures–about black women working at NASA in the early 1960s–and for Arrival, based on the Ted Chiang short story “Story of Your Life.” Both of these look excellent.

Finally, this happened:

Which is mostly a reminder to me that I should get back on track with my Dune readalong, but is also a reminder of how awesome Kyle MacLachlan is.

So, I am completely over 2016 already. In a year that has already been full of illness, stress, death, and grieving, this week added one more to the pile. Isabelle, the cat that we inherited from my partner’s late mother, passed away unexpectedly. In hindsight, I think she was probably sick–she’d been not eating very well for a couple of weeks, but I’d chalked it up to a change in her food and my daughter being out of town for a week–but two vets had looked at her and said she was healthy less than two months ago, so there’s really no telling what happened. She was mostly unfriendly and highly neurotic, she only really seemed to bond with my daughter, and we didn’t have her very long, but we loved her and we miss her.

I feel like most of this year (and part of last year, what with breaking my foot) has just been about me justifying why I haven’t accomplished things I intended to do or explaining away my lack of productivity, but come on. It really has been a fucking doozy. It’s like every time we return to some type of normalcy, another thing happens to derail things. So, it’s been a sad week, really. It started off okay, but quickly went straight to hell, and the last few days have been spent largely just feeling sad (and sore–turns out gravedigging is hard, even for a cat), reading (An Accident of Stars by Foz Meadows), and playing video games (No Man’s Sky).

Still, I did manage to find a few things of interest on the internet this week.

Uncanny Magazine‘s Year Three Kickstarter has just over two days left, and they’re well into stretch goal territory now. Sure, you can buy the issues later, but if you support it now, you’ll help ensure that each issue is extra-full of great fiction and essays.

Meanwhile, Ragnarok Publications’ just started a Kickstarter for Hath No Fury, a new anthology of stories with female protagonists:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jmmartin/hath-no-fury-an-anthology-where-women-take-the-lea

Naomi Novik’s Uprooted is the winner of this year’s Mythopoeic Award.

William Gibson did a Q&A over at Gizmodo that is a reminder of why we all ought to read more William Gibson.

Sady Doyle’s piece on Suicide Squad encapsulates about 80% of why I’m in no hurry to go see it. (The other 20% is Jared Leto.)

Tor.com lists 10 SFF anthologies in translation from around the world.

Renay at Lady Business came up with this list of 60 essential sci-fi and fantasy reads, and it’s pretty much my favorite thing of the week.

Sarah Gailey’s essay “In Defense of Villainesses” is pretty great, too, though.

If you aren’t reading Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda’s comic, Monstress, you ought to be. Then you should go read this profile of them over at the B&N Sci-fi and Fantasy Blog.

N.K. Jemisin’s The Obelisk Gate is probably my most-anticipated read of 2016, and it’s coming out in just a couple of days. Lit Hub takes a closer look at the radical sensibility that sets this series apart from so much other epic fantasy.

The Mary Sue asks if queer representation counts if it’s unconfirmed. Spoiler: Nope, not really.

Mythcreants has some tips for creating realistic cultures.

Finally, a new trailer for Rogue One dropped, and it looks amazing:

This week has been more or less normal, which is nice. I haven’t been quite as productive as I’d like to have been, but I did manage to churn out reviews for a couple of movies I’ve seen recently, and I read all of the Saga trade paperbacks that I ordered a few weeks ago (how have I never checked out that comic before?). It’s also been nice enough to go outside a little, and I caught a few new Pokemon. Finally, I’m also working on quitting energy drinks and getting back in the habits of eating healthy and exercising that I was doing so well at before I broke my foot last year. This all kind of sucks because I love Red Bull and hate exercise and healthy eating, but the truth is that I do feel better and get more done when I take better care of myself.

It’s also been a somewhat slow week for me in internet-ing, mostly because of the reading and being out of doors, but I did find a few things of interest to share.

First of all, I know I shared it last week already, but if you haven’t read it yet Fireside Fiction’s Special Report on #BlackSpecFic is absolutely required reading.

As is Emma Newman’s guest post at The Mary Sue, where she talks about why feminism in fantasy is so important.

Also at the Mary Sue this week was a wonderful interview with author Becky Chambers, who is every bit as lovely as you would expect after reading her novel, The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet.

N.K. Jemisin was interviewed for this month’s Clarkesworld, which has done nothing but whet my anticipation for The Obelisk Gate, the second book in her Broken Earth trilogy.

If you only listen to one thing from this week, be sure to check out Margaret Atwood on Midnight in Karachi.

Book Riot offered some much-deserved praise for antiheroines.

At Mythcreants, they picked apart six bad arguments against social justice in speculative fiction.

Fandom Following finally posted the third part of their breakdown of the rampant and virulent sexism in Game of Thrones’ sixth season.

There were two bits of GRRM news this week: first, the announcement of a special 20th anniversary edition of Game of Thrones, then the news that Wildcards has been optioned for television.

I am certain that someday I am going to get my shit together and stay truly caught up on these regular posts, but this past week has not been the week for it for a variety of reasons. I did manage to produce some actual writing in the last week, but the weekend was just awful, productivity-wise. Saturday, we went to Findlay Market for the first time in ages, then hit Ault Park for some Pokemon Go, which my daughter finally downloaded. Yesterday, we ran errands for half the day, then took my daughter and her friend to see the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company perform Macbeth at Washington Park (and play Pokemon). The weather was halfway decent all weekend, and it’s always nice to appreciate the city I’ve lived in all my life, but it was also exhausting and time-consuming. Add to that an unexpected sleepover, watching my sister’s kids today, and like four hours of excruciating burning on my hand from cleaning the peppers I cooked for dinner tonight, and I haven’t accomplished much today aside from some reading. On the bright side, however, this week is looking better going forward. I’ve still got some potentially productivity-killing things going on, but last week’s burst of writing energy was encouraging and I am looking forward to having a week and a half sans all children starting this Thursday during which time I am cautiously optimistic about my ability to get caught up on all kinds of things.

This was a little bit of a slow week in the SFF-related links department, but it was a great week for politics, with Hillary Clinton becoming the official Democratic nominee for President amidst a DNC that was chock full of excellent speeches. Ahead of the convention, Smithsonian recognized the zeitgeist with a great piece on The History of Women Presidents in Film–a history that was much longer and more interesting than I knew before now.

Uncanny Magazine’s Year Three Kickstarter is about halfway done with and less than $120 from their first stretch goal as of this writing. Earlier in the week, Uncanny editors Lynne and Michael were interviewed at Nerds of a Feather to talk about the project.

Finally, Margaret Atwood is going to be on Midnight in Karachi on August 4th, and Tor.com has some advice on where to start with catching up on her work.

This has been a week of almost absurdly nice weather in Cincinnati, so I’ve actually been trying to spend some time out of doors instead of in front of the computer, which has been nice, even if it has also been a painful reminder that the foot I broke over a year ago is still not entirely back to normal. The kitten, Spot, continues to still be the number one enemy of productivity this week, as he is both fairly demanding (for example, he just switched from meowing insistently at me for attention to getting into stuff on the dining room table so I had to get up and shoo him down) and endlessly entertaining (cute and funny).  Finally, it took me forever to finish my post on the Game of Thrones finale. The word count wasn’t that high (only around 3600), but it was just a tough episode to get through a second time.

All that said, I’m looking forward to this coming week. It’s supposed to be hot and rainy and almost certainly intolerably humid, so I expect to be holed up inside where the air conditioning is. With no Game of Thrones, I’ll have all week to catch up on my summer reading and to write about books. Next weekend is going to bring one last trip to Huntsville to clear out my partner’s mom’s house, but that should just take a day or two and then that whole saga should be behind us. It’s looking like things are finally going to be more or less back to normal around here after this, and I can not wait.

A new trailer came out for the next Star Trek movie this week, which is cool, but obviously the most important thing about it is the new Rihanna song that debuted with it, “Sledgehammer”:

Also in Star Trek news this week, the Smithsonian unveiled the newly restored original model of the Enterprise.

I kind of loved this admittedly very nerdy and pedantic piece on the poorly thought out demographics of Westeros.

Not as much as I love these Disney Princesses Reimagined as Cats Reimagined as Sharks Who Are Not Disney Princesses:

I’m thrilled to say that this past week has actually been almost sort of normal after several weeks of hectic running around between Cincinnati and Huntsville and dealing with the final illness and death of my partner’s mother. While we still aren’t completely finished with that–we have one more trip to Huntsville coming up, just for a weekend, to finish cleaning out her house–I think the worst part was just not knowing what was going to happen or how long it might take, and that part is over. Now it’s just wrapping up loose ends, which is sad and hard but it’s a thing we can actually do something about instead of a thing that just makes us feel helpless.

On the bright side, I guess, we inherited a cat, Isabelle, who we love in spite of her being very antisocial, and yesterday we adopted a kitten, Spot, who we are hoping will be a friend for Isabelle and help encourage her to come out of her shell a little. It hasn’t worked so far, but Spot is freaking adorable (see header image). I haven’t had a kitten since I was a teenager, and I’d forgotten how much fun (and distracting–seriously, a kitten is nothing but a tiny destroyer of productivity) they are.

Also on the bright side, I recovered much more quickly from the last trip, so I’m starting to get caught up on some writing. This past week, I caught up on my Game of Thrones recaps (both Episode 8 and Episode 9 went up this week), wrote a couple of book reviews (for Pride’s Spell and Faith), and revisited my preseason predictions about Game of Thrones. I’m not quite where I’d like to be in terms of content output, but I’m getting more into the right neighborhood than I have been the past few weeks. Plus, with this season of Game of Thrones ending, I’ll soon have Mondays free for more reading (and writing about what I read).

All week I’ve been encouraging people to head over to Kickstarter to back Crossed Genres’ Hidden Youth anthology, which is a sequel to the Long Hidden anthology they published a couple of years ago. It’s got an excellent table of contents, editors, and cover art by the incomparable Julie Dillon, and there’s only 10 days left to back it. $10 will get you a copy of the Hidden Youth ebook when it’s finished. $15 will get you a copy of Long Hidden as well. Bart Kay from Crossed Genres talked more about the project in an interview earlier this week.

Speaking of crowdfunding, N.K. Jemisin talked about Patreon in an interview at Book Riot.

HBO released a first trailer for their upcoming SF show, Westworld, which is making me rethink my plan to cancel my HBO Now subscription now that Game of Thrones is over:

The first trailer for The Girl With All the Gifts was also released this week. I haven’t read the book, but the movie looks excellent:

So, this has been an exhausting week in every sense of the word. This past weekend, my partner and I were in Huntsville again, this time to finalize final arrangements after his mother passed away earlier last week. We actually made it home by mid-week, but we’re really only just now getting more or less recovered and settled back in at home, partly because we’ve ended up adopting his mother’s cat, Isabelle, and it’s taking her a while to get settled. The bad news is that we’re not entirely done with Huntsville. We’re still going to have to go back in a couple of weeks for at least another day or two in order to finish going through his mom’s house. The good news is that that should be about it, and life should soon be pretty much back to normal (plus cat).

Unfortunately, this has made for another profoundly unproductive week. I haven’t even managed to finish my usual Game of Thrones recap, though I do plan to have it finished before this week’s episode airs. I’ll also be back to live/drunk-tweeting the episode this week. Sadly, last week it was all we could do to use our cell data to stream the show to where we were camping in Huntsville.

Finally, I should have something approaching a normal book reviewing schedule from here on out. I’ve got several reviews nearly finished, and I’ve already made a decent start on my summer reading list. Now I just need to get caught up on writing, which will be happening soon. I actually expect this week to be a good one for productivity, as I don’t have a ton else to do for the first time in a long while. On the bright side, though I didn’t get any real writing done this week, I did do a good deal of reading, including internet reading.

This week marks the 200th anniversary of the dream that inspired Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. There’s a writing contest, judged by Elizabeth Bear, being held to celebrate, and there’s never a bad time to reflect upon the influence of Shelley’s novel and its continuing relevance.

In sad news this week, Lois Duncan has passed away at age 82. I don’t know anyone of my generation who isn’t at least passingly familiar with her work, which has functioned as an entry point to genre for teens for many years.

I’m starting to feel as if I will never be productive again, to be honest. This week was looking to be better than the last couple, but then my partner’s mom died on Monday. We had been planning to come back to Huntsville this coming Tuesday (6/14), but instead we ended up scrambling for funds in order to get back down here sooner so we can arrange things–which neither of us really know how to do, though Google has been a great help in that regard. So now, we are camping to save money because it turns out that travel and funerals are expensive and hoping to wrap things up before potentially heavy rains move in in a few days.

Still, best case scenario I think we’re looking at being home around Wednesday, and in the meantime we have limited internet access (curse you, 3 GB data plan) and are going to be pretty busy with wrapping up his mother’s final affairs. I am hoping to get a good amount of writing done this week, time permitting, since that can be done offline, and I do plan to watch and livetweet Game of Thrones as usual (we’re pretty sure that won’t take us over on our data). However, I’m not going to promise my normal recap on Monday, as that’s when we’ll be able to get to work on some of the stuff that we can only do on business days, and I’m not certain when I’ll have time/internet to actually post any of the things I hope to finish writing.

If there is any bright side to any of this, it’s that we are camping at Monte Sano State Park, which is very pretty (see header image). Also, I guess I am also hoping to do some reading while I’m here, even if I haven’t finished writing about everything I read last time we were here.

All that said, this is also why there aren’t a ton of Weekend Links this week. Sadly, I just haven’t had the time, and as I mentioned last week, I’m still really, really feeling the loss of SF Signal’s link posts. I’m certain that I’m missing out on all kinds of stuff that I just don’t have time to search out on my own.

I’ve already posted my annual Summer Reading List, which I’ll be working on this week, but if you’re looking for an even more comprehensive list of must-read books this summer, io9 has you covered.

If you’re not already looking forward to fall, you should be. Tor.com just revealed the covers and descriptions for their Fall 2016 line-up, and it’s so exciting. You guys. That cover for A Taste of Honey. And there’s another Lychford book by Paul Cornell. I mean, I read all the Tor.com novellas anyway, but this looks like it’s a bumper crop.

If you need something to read now, I cannot recommend Lightspeed‘s People of Colo(u)r Destroy Science Fiction! special issue enough. Read the editors’ manifesto here, and then go buy the magazine.

For something a little different, you can check out David Brin’s list of some of the best sci-fi webcomics around. I’m not super into webcomics, myself, so it’s nice to have someone else do the work of finding and suggesting a few.

There’s a new Feminist Frequency video up! In “Lingerie is Not Armor” Anita talks about the absurd bullshit people dress women in in video games. This isn’t just a problem in video games, though. For more info than you could ever want on this subject, check out Bikini Armor Battle Damage.

I did not realize that Malka Older and Daniel Jose Older were siblings, but now I do, and this interview/discussion with them is excellent.

Last week was a bit of a nightmare, with the trip to Huntsville and all, and I have to admit that it took a bit more out of me than I thought it did when I got home. What that means, unfortunately, is that I’ve spent much of the last week recuperating, physically and emotionally. The good news is that I’m much better now. The bad news is that I didn’t really get as much done as I would have liked this week. On the bright side, I’m feeling pretty recharged now, and I am finally making some headway this weekend on catching up with book reviews and getting back on track with the Dune readalong. I’m not thrilled with my lack of productivity, but I’m happy to finally be settled back in at home and getting to work now.

I’m also happy to have some links to share this week, even if it’s not as much as usual. I rather thought there would be a ton of stuff to share after a full week away, but there’s really only about as much as normal. I’m still getting used to the absence of SF Signal, to be honest. I read a ton of blogs and stuff, but it turns out that I relied on them a lot for keeping track of reviews, author interviews, and SFF-related pieces on some sites that I don’t habitually read. I always knew SF Signal was a treasure, but I thought I’d get over the loss. Instead, it’s turned out to be a resource that I miss on almost a daily basis. I have some ideas for how I can find more content without spending hours a day on it, but I can’t help but hope that someone with the time steps in to fill that void.

This week also saw my first bout of mid-season Game of Thrones ennui, as I struggled to find the energy to write extensively on the show’s latest episode. I’m hoping that most of this can just be chalked up to exhaustion from last week’s trip, but no small part of my frustration with writing about the show is due to the fact that there’s just not much left to say about it anymore. Marveling at the terribleness of it all only takes one through so many thousands of words, you know?

Fortunately, there’s not much Game of Thrones left after this year.
