Hi followers! Give me a heads up if your affiliated with any of the Facebook sci/fi and fantasy book groups. Nice to see you here! I still pop over to FB, but only on my PC, so not often. Usually I'm here blabbing about books, podcasts, and whatever I watch on screen.
A good dusting.

I would have thought that Hello Kitty was too tidy to peddle slime, but here we are.
Hello Kitty picture #329 - scented slime! Vanilla, Bubble gum, and three other scents that I didn't catch in the photo. Based on extensive and exhaustive research, they are Cotton Candy, Cake and Apple.

My kids loved Franklin. I have this memory of my son wielding a carrot and wearing a basket on his head and proclaiming "Green knight to the rescue. "

As always, slightly off trend or perhaps beyond the trend. My husband rocking not a quarter zip, but a one third zip sweater.

Ruslan, the last of his species, lives amongst an alien race, most of whom treat him as a curiosity, an artifact, or a specimen to be studied. Part psychological thought experiment, part first contact #scifi with a "told" feel, so ponderous but very interesting. #booksky #bookreview #fantasyfaction

Whoa, weird coincidence. I just read Dark Matter, and I support this guy. The event is a bit pricey for me, but it sounds great. Attend if you can. #Colorado
If Blake Crouch is not on your bookshelf, you are missing out 👇
In addition to the love & gratitude I hold for the people of Colorado, & my family, I also am grateful for a good book on a long weekend. Click here to RSVP to a virtual gathering with Blake Crouch author of Dark Matter: secure.actblue.com/donate/12.14...

Thanksgiving at a skilled nursing facility with the spouse and mother in law. Family day with pie, no matter how you slice it.

I've always wondered how calls for the creative work of indigenous authors handle Europeans. I haven't noticed really specific calls for non-European or non-white indigenous people. Do Europeans with DNA that goes back 10,000 years submit to these calls, figuring, 'yeah that's me'.

My caps too small
And my hairs too white
This collars tight
But my cross is loose
I got the Vat..
The Vatican blues

If you ask any girl from the parish around,
What pleases her most from her head to her toes;
She'll say, "I'm not sure that it's business of yours,
But I do like to waltz with a log driver.”

Lessons and hope from history. 👇
Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Wow, here's another one. Spot on. I really am in the appropriate bubble.
Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Here's another opinion that mirrors my own thoughts.
My most woke opinion is that the whole point of society is to collectively help each other. My taxes should be going towards housing and feeding everyone. No one should be without food or shelter. Rich people should be contributing more towards this. It shouldn't even be controversial!

One day I'll learn to proofread my posts and see what bullshit autocorrect has managed to fuck up. Today is not that day. Thus, I need you to trust that I am actually literate and just overlook the bizarre spelling

Here's an interesting grasssroots idea for #Colorado, recognize working caregivers as a protected class, require workplaces to allow flexible schedules and work at home options, and allow Medicare to support at home caregiving.

Doctor says to patient: "Keep picking at the tumor so it looks fresh. Your insurance may refuse to cover biopsy of a long standing lesion".
If you pick at the tumor it becomes much more difficult to diagnose. Clearly what needs to be picked away in this situation is the crap insurance.

Can we just abolish the senate already? They clearly don't represent their constituents and throw too much power to sparsely populated regions.
