Please also be kind re: postal deliveries. Thank your postie, and remember a lot of indoor staff are seasonal. We’re often training them while doing our own jobs. It’s a lot.

In these busiest shopping weeks of the year, with everyone under horrible pressure over money, job security etc, try to be nice to retail staff (who likely have unreasonable sales targets from HQ to make up for a lousy retail year). Far too many stressed customers will behave appallingly right now.

Happy 55th birthday to the computer mouse!
A patent for an “X-Y position indicator for a display system” was awarded to Douglas Engelbert on the 17th of November 1970.
In the beginning there was the command line, then clicky clicky clicky!

Saw a car parked at the grocery store where it is obvious the owner is homeless. In the back of their car, on top of a bunch of stuff, was an Ayn Rand book. And I don't know what to say to that.

My brand new book Song of Spores is just $4.99 on the Kindle!
A fun space opera adventure that's also very trans, queer and intersex (like me). So um, *now* might be a good time to pick it up!
Spread the word! Costs less than an iced matcha latte 😆

Went to the grand reopening of the Princeton University Art Museum with the family. It's at least 3 times as big as before! It was also packed. So we saw about a 1/4 of it and will have to go back and see the rest another day. Super fun time!
