Was shocked to see a BK combo meal in the SFO airport for $18. Like...I understand I've been a hermit for 13 years but holy crap what has happened.
Just paid $20.54 for a cheeseburger combo at a drive thru in case any of you burgeoning screenwriters need some good solid show don’t tell dystopian world establishing ideas for your screenplays.

Live shamed and die empty.
Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?

Oh good, I got some of that loving AI outreach to market a novella. I guess I am still a writer whose work is "intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant."

Chartreuse is perfect for this.
NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about THE EVERLASTING by Alix E. Harrow. A time looping fantasy of ferocious lady knights & the nervy chain-smoking scholars who love them: folklore amid fascism. Fierce, clever, & impassioned. Our drink is Valiance, beneath the yew tree.

When I read this novella in submissions, I knew we had to have it. The story is dark and timely, focusing on damaged systems: bodies and planets, human and animal. We are more alike than not, every person a world being ravaged by changing climates: environmental, emotional.
