What happens when three objects enter the solar system from interstellar space? How would people react?

After a few weeks (I've been quite bussy, sorry) I've finally finished spell-checking and aditing Last Time 'Round. Please check it out on #royalroad.

Last Time 'Round
Three objects appear from interstellar space. Camille Lieder is an astronomer working a rather small university and, due to some lucky connections, is one of the first to hear the news. It may be the ...

One think I'd hope for with first contact is that they've got a shorter proof of the Feit-Thompson theorem

Seriously, it is just *begging* for there to be some clever 5-page argument or something

I know this is not the main issue, but why does the US President sound like a character from a poorly localised video game? "It was quite a display of abuse and anger, for all to see, crazed and out of control." Are you a town elder in a JRPG?
Just a fundamentally evil, malevolent person. Rotten to the very core.

Quick explanation of what it feels like to learn more advanced #mathematics. Specifically, how do you answer the question

"How many intersections do two algebraic varieties have?"

You could probably do this with any math subject tbh...

any fed watchlist is such a joke because this is the most aggressive of what we're organizing: whistling to alert others of ICE presence, and filming them doing their jobs. would be very easy to just ignore us if the reality of them doing their jobs was something that anyone on earth could stand by.
just saw 4 ice agents go up to a house and knock and within 1 minute there were 30 people out whistling and they left. we will not take our foot off the gas

A pencil illustration of a flying quadrilaterian for the Birrin project, recovered from my collected sketch books.

This species lives like a terrestrial albatross, riding oceanic winds for months at a time and dipping to snatch prey near the surface.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stay soft in a world that keeps asking you to harden up.

Pay attention to what steadies you — a quiet moment, a voice, a song — and keep those things close. They ain’t escapes; they’re anchors.

~The Boot~

We are all stuck under the boot.
Ground to dust, from birth ‘till death.
All agree this is bad,
not all agree why.

Some wish it was cleaner,
and so they start licking.

Others wish there was no boot.
throw it out! They cry.

Others still, wish they
could wear the boot instead.

Fascists like climate change, because the chaos it causes will allow populist politics to go down easy, with mass starvation and refugee catastrophes.

It is our duty to work against them. Join the most effective political group you can.
The UK gov has finally released the Global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security report. We face catastrophe. Why aren't politicians acting? I think some are - but in ways perhaps just as frightening.
My latest for Technosphere Earth.

No war on a dead planet
If defence and intelligence agencies understand the risks from climate and biodiversity collapse, why can’t politicians?

A merchant ship falls behind the formation during a crossing of the wind wastes on Calphis. This isn't an ideal situation. The barrens offer no sanctuary for a forced landing. The nearest settlements could be thousands of kilometers away.

2025 was a great year for me (despite the … ya know, state of the world and all that)

I hope everyone’ll have a great 2026. Maybe even with a better state of the world. That’d be nice wouldn’t it?

Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. We must keep fighting in 2026 and beyond.

The Ten Commandments of mainstream space settings:
1. Fuel tanks do not exist
2. All engine plumes must be a short, tapered blue cylinder
3. Every spacecraft can perform atmospheric landings and retyrn to orbit, regardless of its class or designed mission profiles
4. The Sun is mottled orange
