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.
