This one creeps me out. Did you know there is fungus growing in the Chernobyl exclusion zone that use radiation in the same way most plants use sunlight? They grow TOWARDS radioactive material. Now, how could I POSSIBLY use that fact in a cosmic horror story set during the late 1950s? 😏 #cosmichorror #horror #radioactive #books #bookstadon

I&#39;m running late this week, partially because I spent Monday (the day I usually write my blog) finishing up the refurbishment of my old &#39;80s era record console into a more MCM vibe, and the perfect computer case for my vaguely &quot;Doctor Who, if he were a &#39;40s era PI&quot; office theme. And I&#39;ve got photos of the whole process! https://esraye.com/2026/10/15/edie-update/ #mcm #midcenturymodern #midcenturyfurniture #custompc #pcbuild

There we go. Absentee ballot all filled out, placed in an envelope, stamped, and waiting by the door to be dropped in the mailbox when I run errands tomorrow afternoon. I have, essentially, voted--like I have done every election cycle since moving to Canada 21 years ago--by mail. I may not live in the US anymore (nor ever plan on going back), but you can take my right to vote (by mail or otherwise) when you pry the envelope from my cold, dead fingers.

After a week off from writing to let my brain reset, I&#39;m switching from one of the five works-in-progress I&#39;ve got going to another. Try to keep up. https://esraye.com/2026/10/20/wip-updates/ #writer #writing #novel #shortstory #books

Okay. Here we go. Shallow Trenches/Open Skies - Draft 2.docx #amwriting #amediting #writer #author #novel #novelist #scifi #sciencefiction

@esraye@mastodon.social ##5250847

From the very first draft, I knew the chapters of Gas Giant Gambit would reference the movie titles of Westerns. But Shallow Trenches/Open Skies has a wildly different tone, and the chapters in draft 1 are just numbered. But now I&#39;m thinking World War I soldier poetry... #amwriting #amediting

To be blunt, morphine addiction really wasn&#39;t treated in any meaningful way. Alcoholics Anonymous was only 20 years old in the mid-&#39;50s, and NA was literally in it&#39;s infancy. Many men came back from the horrors of war, only to get caught up in the horrors of addiction, with little help available to overcome it. #books #bookstadon #writer #amwriting

A friend saw someone reading Gas Giant Gambit on the bus today. Is that an author milestone? It feels like an author milestone.

マイス二話良かったです。これは少なくともしばらくは安定して楽しめそう。ダットさんのビジュアルや変身エフェクトめちゃめちゃ良かった。十二支同盟の方が世界のために不可思議と戦っている存在で、マイスの方こそがむしろ異質な存在である、という情報がどんどん出てきて良かった。不穏匂わせ展開は良い……。あと一話もでしたが、尻尾を上手く使ったアクション、良いです。

昔は個は個のまま、特に変化も「老い」という現象もなく、ある時不意に適応できなくなって死んでいったものです。生物が酸素を利用する仕組みを作った（つまり「劣化」という現象が避けられなくなった）から、「老化」と「生殖」という概念を発明し、擬似的な永遠を生み出した、とも言えますね。

人類は(というか一部の哺乳類は)老害をリソースとしてその先の進化に繋げることを選びましたからね(所謂おばあちゃん仮説)。それが正解かどうかは、きっとあと1万年くらい経たないと答えがでないのでしょうけれども。
