I've been on a massive Tiptree kick lately. :)

You have no idea how happy this song makes me.

I am deeply glad. Too few people really know Tiptree anymore, and that makes me very sad.

She told us to her final breath
That love's the plan -- the plan is death --

made me teary, because it's so appropriate.

Have you read the biography? I've been a little afraid to open it so far.

Great winds, that was brilliant.

Word. Back in the day, whenever I read a Tiptree story in F&SF, Asimov's, etc., I kept looking at the cover & thinking, "I can't believe a man wrote this."

And whenever I read a Racoona Sheldon story, I'd do the same & think, "I can't believe James Tiptree didn't write this."

God, I miss them.
