This story still enrages me so much. Fall’s story was astoundingly good; a blend of radical politics and queer expression in a hard SF shell that you rarely see. She was literally one of the queer pioneers into a side of the genre that had been frequently hostile to queerness. She should have won a Hugo and a Nebula for it.

I’ll never read Jemisin again after the shit she pulled, I regret every dollar ever spent on her books. What a monstrous cruelty that, which the particularly angry part of me can’t help but fixate on, cut down what could have been a NAME in the field. Utter disgust for these fuckers.

after dabbling with them in my teens, I grew to eventually largely disdain the rationality community for the general ignorance of social science that extended outside of claims or theories that sigh confirmed their priors. Let alone all of the humanities or arts. The more I learned about methodology and deeper I delved into the fields of social science and biology, the clearer the ignorance of folks whose primary training was software, physics, math, etc was.
