If I wasn't so angry-sad at the state of America, I'd probably laugh at this for three years straight.

Soren and Kael had their Heart Hop school dance last night. They wanted to dress up. Everyone was talking about them. Was super cute. 🥰

Omega-reading The Wounded Land by Stephen R. Donaldson. It has been 25 years since I read the Second Chronicles of one of the most hated characters in all of SF&F.

And yet, I'm loving it. It's Donaldson's prose and my love of the Land that sustains me.
