Rereading Demon by #JohnVarley again and this image hit me
#myart #doctorwho
(I know I've been picking on Peri in my #nsfw for a week or so but in my defense 1. Demon is from 1984 when she was on [which means this shoulda been the fifth Doctor, but Too Late Now] 2. she's my favorite to draw naked)

[John Varley Spoiler Alert]

My beloved is @ReadingAloud the #johnvarley novel #rollingthunder to me. It's a favourite past time where I get read to while I prepare meals. We've just gotten to the part where the protagonist has made #ElectronicMusic played against the sped up synchronous tone […]

This book.

This book I knew at a glance
from some moment in my childhood,
when every library book with a rocket ship sticker
was worth taking home.

This was my first taste of John Varley's work.
This guided me on my path.

I can't wait to read it all again.

I want to point out that the writer #JohnVarley wrote a book called #SteelBeach that (spoilers of sorts) had an AI that became depressed because it listened to all of the problems of the entire population of the moon and how terrible that actually is for the AI and the people that rely on it.

Does anyone know if #FrankHerbert ever met #JohnVarley? I would love to hear them discuss gender based concepts. the stuff they write about gender is crazy and awesome, but on totally opposite ends of the spectrum.

Hey #JohnVarley here is an unexplored idea for the Church in the Hyperion universe. Maybe @scalzi could take a shot at it in the OldMan universe :-) https://t.co/3msfcZ0HXl

I learned we lost John Varley recently. He was the reason I started reading books. #johnvarley I gotta find another "drop everything and read" author.

Was just thinking about #JohnVarley sad to hear he had passed. First read persistence of vision collection in 1978. His writing blew my mind. Been a staple since and reread his work regularly. Amazing SF author taking technology and extrapolating to the nth degree. Thank you John RIP
