This could have been a whole novel tbh but there was a lot of good about robots with feelings, trans and disabled allegory, community and community in food, and oh yeah, SF after a cessation war with the US

quick psa: if you use GDrive, go into Settings -> Manage Apps and make sure the Gemini AI horseshit is turned off.
Just got a heads-up about it elsewhere, and sure enough, Gemini had been turned back on without my permission

"ok if I do priority mail will I get it by Halloween"
only if you choose the rush fee (goes into detail about day job/evening work, I'm down a machine, these sets take like 2.5 hours to make, etc)
"ok I ordered with the rush fee (nice words about my time)

pulls up order
guess what isn't there

"can I get these patches by the 30th? I'm in (CA)"
Sure, if you do it with the rush fee and choose priority mail at checkout
"priority mail says x dates"
yeah Etsy guesses on arrival dates but the rush fee means I'll make/mail it earlier, priority mail only controls speed after shipping

As a Libro.fm acolyte, it is my duty to inform you that audio that's purchased from your favorite indie bookseller sounds better and is also more emotionally fulfilling than the same audio purchased from a megacorp that's assisting the authoritarian federal regime.

And then my first audio T Kingfisher which was great! Love her uncommon protags and this is no exception, a broad older (30s I think!) woman, a mystery in a retelling of Snow White but this time, with nature and poisons and secret mirrors yessss

Covid-19 vaccines, credited with saving millions of lives during the pandemic, set off a powerful alarm that rallies the human immune system against cancer and nearly doubles the median survival length of patients, according to a new retrospective study.

Study finds mRNA coronavirus vaccines prolonged life of cancer patients

A study found that covid-19 vaccines appeared to awaken the immune system in lung and skin cancer patients, helping them live longer than those not vaccinated.

My faaaavorite of the series, I knew I’d love Rosie from one line in the last book but I was RIGHT. Also love short king Adam because we know I love a stuffy man being taken apart. So much lore and world building in this final volume, loved it
