Blogging to the Stars
Welcome to our blog! We post most actively on AdAstra-SF.tumblr.com,
the most-recent page of which is replicated here
(if you don't see it below, turn on Javascript or go directly to our Tumblr).
If you're on a phone, some of these posts (reblogs) read more easily in the Tumblr app.
We've posted a couple of our
"Science into Fiction" inspirational talks to our
YouTube channel,
where you'll also find hundreds (and more all the time) of recommended
videos in our Playlists, and we plan to share lots more in the coming
months, possibly even some regular spec-fic and writing vlogs. We also
occasionally post to
Facebook and Xitter
(aka X / Twitter).
For participants in and alums of our workshops and other courses, we
maintain a rich Discord server with several channels, plus
multiple mailing lists - drop
us a line if you'd like to participate!
Hundreds more posts on our Tumblr blog here! Looking for something specific? Try these tags:
