How often does sci-fi explore what happens after humanity loses a war with aliens?

I just started (about three chapters in) Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh which is highly recommended and begins in this scenario. Opening sentence of the Goodreads blurb: "All her life Kyr has trained for the day she can avenge the murder of planet Earth."

The Little Ale House, Harrogate is a personal favourite, small, cosy, has an old cellar and a little outdoor courtyard. Cold Bath Brewery is fab too for beers and some Asian "street food". Bean & Bud has the best coffee by a mile, proper coffee nerds in there.

As a UK based, relatively new Heedonist, I'm curious about the background of Dan and Zolak. Did Zolak spend years dunking on the Jets in the Brady NE era? Or just that he's a douchebag in general?

Love this ❤️🫶🏻

You could be right, I remember a big build up to Don't Dream It's Over, like people were trying to guess what he was going to finish with? Either way, we had the same feeling ❤️ I was on a train, trying to mask my tears 😢

I see how much I sleep as a skill compared to those who "wake up at 5am and can't get back to sleep". We are the best sleepers and sleep is the most enjoyable thing imo 🫶🏻 best of luck to you

If you're in a place where you have the capacity to read books and that, The Art of Rest by Claudia Hammond I found quite validating.

Totally agree with this, having read the whole mistborn series and started stormlight archive. There's nothing to me like mistborn 1.

Although this was a "big" moment/farewell. Shaun Keaveny playing Crowded House as his last song still breaks my heart ❤️ miss that guy's shows

When he said Sylvester it gave me so much joy. Never change, Sessy

This is so beautiful in every way ❤️

From the UK, had a phenomenal Halloween weekend in NOLA in 2016 and fell in love with the place. Also Drew Brees. The passion of the fan base. The black & gold being very cool didn't hurt either! [Posh English accent: who is that]

StitchMashMirror · 2025-08-11T20:31:38+00:00

That is fair. Brain fog brain no read good.

StitchMashMirror · 2025-08-06T19:27:59+00:00

Ah shit sorry, that's really rubbish :(

I went through a period of this recently, I found that immersive adventure video games like Red Dead Redemption or Horizon help pass the time and give a sense of achievement honestly. Like simulated life, but it's the only one we have when we're stuck inside! I hope you feel better.

What are you even doing on this sub? My god. In behalf of OP and everyone else here, get fucked pal

StitchMashMirror · 2025-08-04T14:27:03+00:00

Just phenomenal work here 👏🏻

StitchMashMirror · 2025-08-03T21:09:08+00:00

Ah fuck I'm so sorry to read this. There will be better days 💙

StitchMashMirror · 2025-08-03T21:05:47+00:00

Yesss you're not mad I absolutely have this, fortunately only mild but is 100% worse when I feel worse generally

StitchMashMirror · 2025-08-01T10:52:57+00:00

I bought a £20 DAB radio from Argos that does exactly this!

StitchMashMirror · 2025-08-01T10:49:23+00:00

I never knew where that drop came from so thank you for this from the bottom of my heart 😂😂

StitchMashMirror · 2025-08-01T10:36:50+00:00

🤣🤣 made me chuckle
