I mostly read (hard) sci-fi written by straight white dudes, so the tweet on the screenshot made me feel a bit defensive. In the replies and qrts people are patting themselves on the back for reading marginalized fantasy writers exclusively and this "consumption as activism" seems rad-libby to me, but maybe I'm wrong.
Thoughts on Kate Wilhelm? I was a big reader of hers back in the day but don’t know if she would appeal to the hard sci-fi audience either.
I've never read anything of hers. Someone gave me a collection of her SF short stories called The Mile Long Spaceship around the same time I started reading Marxist theory, lol. My mom loves Wilhelm's mystery stuff, though, and I trust her taste in literature since my mom was the one who put me on to Vonnegut.
