Where the Axe is Buried is ambitious, sometimes dense, often cerebral, and very much not here to hold your hand. Our review of the new sci-fi title from @raynayler

@NJBeisner @pat_kingsley Literally DST is just society collectively deciding to wake up an hour earlier for eight months

@dmorrison99 @Datapleaz @ajwodecki @SaveStandard Honestly in the summer, I actively do not want the extra sun in the evening. Hard to get the kids to bed when it’s light, and it’s hard to enjoy outdoor activity when it’s 90+ degrees. Desperately need twilight that doesn’t come until far too late

@Datapleaz @ajwodecki @SaveStandard There is no right answer which is why it hasn’t been changed. I don’t really want the sun coming up at 430 am in June. Would rather have the extra time in the evening in summer.

It was already getting better. People confuse DST with summer. Today is my 2nd least favorite day. Tomorrow is my least. Children all over America will be forced by the government to wake up in the dark again and go to school in the dark…just because the golfing elite class want to have a later tee time. @realDonaldTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr

@ajwodecki @hubermanlab We like dst, we just don't like switching back and forth. More sun after 5, more dark before 7.

@mr_jay_pea @artsurfer @KarenaScales @SaveStandard Honestly the Chicago area has a solar noon of 11:30 all through November, they could shift to permanent Eastern (standard) time and be fine. The argument gets wonky on the borders because permanent DST for people just west of the shift is the same as standard for the east

@artsurfer @KarenaScales @SaveStandard Which city is that? I suppose as long as it gets dark before midnight, it “gets dark after school”. But nighttime is supposed to be dark (Genesis 1:5).

@jdflynn Yes, self-indulgence and self-centeredness sell. But you’re also giving (good) gender-neutral advice and not necessarily speaking to men qua men, which I do think is a factor here. It’s a both/and. There’s not just one reason

I’m tired of reading “Tate only exists because young men don’t have models of masculinity.” Tate exists because self-indulgence and self-centeredness always sell. Hey young men. Wanna be men? Put yourselves last day after day. Love without counting costs. Deny yourself.

@bowengreenwood @DarjaniMaya I'm not convinced SPSFC ever had enough reach to be worth the trouble, either. Not like SPFBO. Of course, some of that would have changed over time, so it's not entirely a fair comparison. I absolutely could be wrong about all of it!

A big part of me wants to start a new contest, just for the challenge of it! Put another way, what do you think you'd have to have in place in order to have a contest like this exist and yet be fair? What policies up front?
SFF Insiders@sffinsiders

Is this 🎤 on.... It seems we need to address the elephant in the room. SFF Insiders as an organization does not support or condone the actions of the @theSPSFC. Had we known the original founders weren't involved, we wouldn't have participated in the first place.

I am just floored by this review. The generosity of the reviewers, both official contest reviewers and fellow contestants who read my book along the way, made the entire brouhaha worthwhile.

🐗New Review on @sffinsiders 🪖 MERCY RISING by @bowengreenwood Check out Anie's thoughts on this space opera with telepaths, genetically engineered beastmen, and a revolution. Gritty and perfect for fans of Star Wars. #booktwt
