I am going to be sending angry paper letters to all the donors on the Trump list saying "why did you pay to demolish the historic White House East Wing without taxpayer consent?" not because I think this is the most important thing, but...

The Redstone Rescue is a low fantasy detective adventure story in which the famous detective's sidekick steps in to protect the utopia she calls home. Topically this week, it begins with a stolen crown. Packed with mystery, peril, romance, and some good jokes. turnanother.page/book/the-red...

Dulac (IMO) managed to somehow mix his absolute control of media with the skill to allow its free development inside his defined bounds/shapes.
Look at the way his 'fabrics' breathe shading.
Not bad with the ol' drawing either.*

Tell Amazon: stop the trinket trade of the painted woolly bat.
Painted woolly bats are forest guardians, but a sick Halloween trend is fueling demand for their bodies. They’re being kidnapped from SE Asia, their dead bodies sold as Halloween decorations online action.eko.org/a/painted-wo...

Save the painted woolly bats

UPDATE: eBay has banned the sale of painted woolly bats on its platform! Now let's keep up the pressure to make sure Amazon follows suit.------Painted woolly bats are selfless little forest guardians,

In tassie, growing up, our little patch was on the disputed boundries of a couple of goshawk pairs. Being on the coast, we'd also get an Osprey from time to time.
Beautiful birds.

I suppose I should seriously consider switching to some variety of unix and use an emulator to run my windows software.

I have no great desire to do anything that energentic.
Old and sad :P

This week's Tuesday snippet comes from A Honeymoon of Grave Consequence, which is out now in ebook and paperback!

Snap it up here: books2read.com/honeymoonGrave

#romancelandia

The illustrated cover for A Honeymoon of Grave Consequence, by Stephanie Burgis, shows the silhouette of an elegant traveling carriage over the title and a bat with wings outstretched underneath, all of it framed by apples and with mirrors at the top and the bottom of the image. Above and beside the cover is this snippet of text: “Those absurd courtiers were all hoping for scandal and titillation,” Margaret said. “I was only documenting scientific facts, with accurate historical documents and explanations!”
“Of course. No more than scientific facts, exact descriptions, and thorough historical context...around the intoxicating pleasures experienced with a vampiric lover’s bite. What could possibly be more high-minded and academic?” Lord Riven’s voice deepened; he shifted his grip downwards to rub both of his thumbs in maddeningly soft caresses against the soft hollows of her neck, and she arched like a cat in instinctive response, barely holding back a purr. “Believe me, I will never forget the process of assisting you in your research.”

Hubby used to do all of ours, then he went and died most inconveniently!
Gradually becoming resigned to the fact I will need to save up2-3k to replace these.
