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.
But I get glimpses occasionally. I'm sure I can get back. Peter Watts is probably writing Blindsight 3 right now...
I think reading Peter Watts as your comfort books is about the most distressing idea I've heard expressed today.
