Apologies to my Lisan Al-Gaib but opera is definitely still alive. Went to see La Traviata yesterday and while story was too dated for my sensibilities, the music and performances were great. There was also quite a decent turnout.

My novella DESCENT is a BSFA and Nebula Award finalist. And its in spectacular company too. I'm mostly just surprised at how far this @sauutiverse story has come. Thank you all for reading and supporting it. 🚀📖🌍

@Nnedi This is awesome. I'm sure it will be an excellent lecture and I hope I get the chance to discuss this topic with you one day - I've been pitching a mystical/mundane overlap panel to a few cons.

📢 I’ll be at Yale University giving a 3-lecture series on the origin, concept, and practice of Africanjujuism. I’ll discuss masquerades (mmụọ), Nsibidi, the role being Naijamerican played, and the overlap of the mystical and mundane.

A Law And Order reboot where Jack McCoy dies in court & each episode finds himself reincarnated in the past as an advocate who must plead the case of an accused person before a variety of historical courts/councils- Rome, Oyo Empire, Aztec Tenochtitlan, Han China, Mesopotamia...

@tmdoyle2 Yep. The fish out of water element would make it more entertaining

@WTalabi Excellent. He could fail badly in each place initially, then realize he had to talk to or watch the local experts to figure out how to do it right (he could watch Cicero in Rome). Things would probably get even more political than he was used to very quickly.

@tmdoyle2 Yep. That's what will make the show more interesting. Its also why I have him on the defense when he was a prosecutor originally. Its for the drama!

@WTalabi Ha, you're setting him up to have a tough go of it! (For those unfamiliar) justice in most(?) instances across time and cultures didn't overlap much w/ forensic truth as we'd understand it. E.g., in Rome, character was a fixed thing--the bad were always bad from childhood on.
