Children of Time is a 2015 science fiction novel by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

In the distant future, humanity seeks to create new habitats for itself on distant planets, terraforming them and seeding them with life. Dr. Avrana Kern is heading one such project, orbiting the tentatively named "Kern's World", where the plan is to release monkeys le-monke infected with a nanovirus that will accelerate their evolution. Through an act of sabotage from an anti-technology group that has also destroyed much of Earth, the monkeys are never released, and the virus instead infects a species of spider, Portia labiata. The book follows the evolution of the spiders and their eventual civilisation, as well as a remnant of humanity that fled to Kern's World hoping to find paradise.


also children of ruin and children of memory, the sequels, are really good

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

I love the Children of trilogy, it's the closest that I've ever seen hard sf get to that Star Trek IDIC ethos.

Musicals have been associated with queer culture for a long time, but I don't feel that they really hold that much space in trans communities? I've seen people here talk about musicals but no more or less than non-queer folks.

Is this right? Like, I feel like our cultural touchstones are pretty different.

New year (and more specifically I returned home from visiting fam) and... I guess I gotta live again, and by that I mean do productive things (not that visiting fam was bad- it was wonderful, helped my mom cook a lot and just connected with siblings idk) and get my life on track as well as to a point where I could actually have some sort of notion of self worth.

I guess tomorrow and onwards will be the turning point (or it won't, but it has to be). I guess today wasn't so bad either in terms of doing some things for myself. Ought to leverage my siblings (sis could also use help really) for assistance in keeping up motivation (or having any) I guess.

Today I had a weird dream, I basically almost never dream (or at least don't remember them) but in this dream let's just say I looked somewhat different in the mirror and wasn't dysphoric and was going waow-based even in the dream. Sucks to have to wake up from that tbh, optimistic ish but don't trust myself to see it through properly. lea-dysphoric I guess I also just have severe issues of self-doubt and self-sabotage historically, been thinking of that lately (well always)

I.. I dunno, compared to previous times I'm more defeated, not running on fumes and hot air as much as before and more.. wise(?) I guess, while trying to pick myself up. But I know myself and tbh the honest truth is I just kinda have a really messed up (limbic system, lack of self worth and motivation, learned helplessness etc). How am I supposed to trust that?

weightthe tweet this person is quoting and all the replies going β€œI’m 5’7+ and a similar weight” is going to give me an ED I swear to God.
Like…okay, your BMI 17-18 and look like that? Guess I’ll go down to 90 pounds then.

My unusual word choice strikes again. I walked into the back kitchen of the queer community center and said "I don't think I've ever been this deep before" and now deep has become the word of the day 😭

...mood again possum-mama

I'm only coming to terms with it (rather than being "totally awesome powerful vers who totes doesn't fold immediately and is independent and capable of anything or uh something like that arguably") very recently myself but it seems like it was always obvious. Which in hindsight; fair.

I asked my partner of 6 years if I was more subby or dommy or vers and they also instantly replied "1000% subby, and I'm not sorry to say it."

~~Here I thought I came off as powerful and stuff in personality if not anything else whatsoever at the moment~~ 🫣

IDK why but I always feel really weepy after laser sessions. I think it's physically unpleasant, but it also makes me immanently aware of my facial hair in a way I rarely am. But the results are sooo worth it! My family is distantly from the Mediterranean and I have had a full beard since 18. I wish I would have finished during my first run at laser, but I am committed to staying the course this time.
