Yahooey“Thoughts are ephemeral, they evaporate in the moment they occur, unless they are given action and material form. Wishes and intentions, the same. Meaningless, unless they impel you to one choice or another, some deed or course of action, however insignificant. Thoughts that lead to action can be dangerous. Thoughts that do not, mean less than nothing.” — Ann Leckie, Ancillary Justice <a href="https://c.im/tags/qotd" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#qotd</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AnnLeckie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AnnLeckie</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#quote</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/thoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#thoughts</a><a href="https://yahooeysblog.wordpress.com/2025/03/23/quote-of-the-day-5103/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://yahooeysblog.wordpress.com/2025/03/23/quote-of-the-day-5103/</a>

Maybe not her absolute best work - I found it a bit exposition heavy - but given her best work stands among my favourite reads ever, that's OK! Incredibly creative world building and a highly entertaining story. <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bookstodon</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a>

Vehka KurjenmiekkaMulla on nyt ollut kohta puolentoista kuukauden ajan kesken tää Leckien erinomainen novellikokoelma. Oon usein näiden kanssa vähän hidas, koska jumitun johonkin yli 30 sivua pitkään novelliin, kun odotan sopivaa aloitushetkeä. (Kanish Tharoorin "Swimmer Among the Stars" -kokoelma on ollut mulla kesken kohta viisi vuotta.)Nyt olen lukenut tästä ensimmäiset neljä. Ekassa oli riemastuttavaa avaruusantropologiaa, toka oli creepy kahden sivun kauhunovelli, kolmas hauskaa leikittelyä Edgar Rice Burroughsin Mars-sarjalla ja neljäs niin ikään riemastuttava tarina siitä, mitä olisi tapahtunut, jos velociraptorit(?) olisivatkin olleet niin älykkäitä, että olisivat lähteneet avaruusmatkalle kohti Marsia juuri ennen valtavan meteoriitin iskeytymistä Maahan.Metkaa kamaa. Päivittelen tänne myös lopuista paloissa sitä mukaa kun etenen, mutta tää on ollut jo nyt viehättävä kokoelma.<a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/KirjaMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KirjaMastodon</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/kirjat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kirjat</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/AnnLeckie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AnnLeckie</a>

Yahooey“Eggs are so inadequate, don’t you think? I mean, they ought to be able to become anything, but instead you always get a chicken. Or a duck. Or whatever they’re programmed to be. You never get anything interesting, like regret, or the middle of the night last week.” — Ann Leckie, Ancillary Justice <a href="https://c.im/tags/botd" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#botd</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AnnLeckie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AnnLeckie</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#quote</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/eggs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#eggs</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/qotd" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#qotd</a><a href="https://yahooeysblog.wordpress.com/2024/03/02/quote-of-the-day-4722/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://yahooeysblog.wordpress.com/2024/03/02/quote-of-the-day-4722/</a>
