Weekly Link(s) for November 24th

It’s been a long one.

Hot on the heels from my flight to Japan, I spent two days at the boomtown known as Dreamforce. Also, after joking about starting my own conference called Dreamhorse, I realized someone beat me to the punch . (On the note of horses: If you don’t eat meat, don’t click this link about 桜肉, a rare treat that I enjoyed, albeit with a slight trepidation, while in Japan.)

Because of the busyness of this week, I didn’t have much time to peruse the archives and stacks of the interweb, but I bring you a few choice morsels:

• This is a long-read, but also a delight from Robin Sloan entitled “The Sleep Consultant”.

• If you haven’t read Paper Girls but you like feminism and time travel, you might enjoy it.

• In the same vein, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying Annalee Newitz new book, which is a wild romp through history. I hope this becomes a long tv show too. I want to swim around in this world for a lot longer than a few hundred pages.

• While you’re traveling through time, you might need some robust trousers. No worries, I’ve got you covered! I’ve been wearing the callistos all week, and they rule.

Ok, I guess I had more links in the hopper than I expected. Have a great week and remember that most of us are living on stolen land, in particular I live on the land of the Ohlone people.
