I love her Xenogenesis trilogy. I wish she would have lived longer. I’m sure she had a lot of other great books inside her. Kindred was also awesome.

I completely agree; but it still made me furrow my brow.

Theres no way the menudo handshake is real.

One of the ones I picked-up on immediately even as a kid was the part of the song that goes:

Hey Mindy! Can you do me a solid and ungrey this: http://jezebel.com/you-won-t-be-a…

People let that guy explain fumigation procedures to them? Does he have to preface it by saying: “I know I look like a cat, but there is nothing cute about termite prevention!”

You won’t be able to fight this with logic and facts. You need to fight it in terms that women susceptible to this kind of airy-fairy mystical womanhood+ will understand.

Not trying to sound like an old man here, but does that guy have a steady job?

I think about this stuff all the time. I picture a world where there are only the very rich and the very poor.

But why do you keep dating Allie when she keeps ruining each date?

For a second I read your handle as “jemimaandtheholograms” and got an image of a more interesting band.

This would be so easy a few hundred years ago in an agricultural society. A fertile, loving woman who couldn’t do much intellectually wouldn’t be nearly as marginalized in a setting like that.

You have good taste.

Hilarious in an endearing way, or a derisive way? I just wonder who it is that makes these guys think it is appreciated.

You should chime in, Noelle. And thanks for the stars! I'm glad you like my work. I'm hopeful that one day I can see some of yours.

Why was the wedding held at a walmart? Serious question.

Yeah, get ready for a conucopial flow of horridness in here. The grays are going to be a mess.

If your writing impresses an editor, that’s all that matters.

You’re right not to read it while in work-mode. It isn’t a casual read. It really takes the entire mind, and demands full attention. I didn’t “get” the story on my first read-through. It was in an anthology called “The Best of the Best” though; and it was pretty long for a short story, so I knew I must be missing…

If you read the story, you’ll see why I think they'll be scratching their heads over how to market it. No sex. No explosions. No war. No drugs. No chases. Just an AMAZING feast for the mind. That doesn't exactly get butts into seats.
