This is a week of awesome.
Alethea Kontis has posted pictures her father took of Discovery’s launch on Saturday night.
A decade’s worth of discovery: New species in the Himalayas.
Scott Lynch is serializing QUEEN OF THE IRON SANDS (not, as I earlier said, IRON SKIES, although that’s also an awesome title), a pulp fiction novel, online for free.
(It is my goal to post at least three topics of awesome each day this week. The world has enough goddamned bad news.)
