The story had been proofed by me, two computerized grammar checkers, a human proofreader and two critique sessions. In the galleys the magazine’s editors still found 10 things to fix, and I found two more they missed. #writing

@pastpunditry.bsky.social snuffalofigus is no longer invisible! He was revealed in the 90’s. I remember us parents got together to watch the episodes (without kids who were too old) I first watched sesame street in college in 73. No I wasn’t stoned, though some friends were! I was funny!

@hntdove.bsky.social enjoyed your talk tonight (what I was able to listen to (last minute double booking by spouse who doesn’t understand shared calendars. )) You mentioned a book “lord Kelvin’s” something. (I am particularly deaf) I think it was by Piper? What was the title?

@escapepod.org podcast downloaded this morning with a story whose title started with “knit”. I knew without looking it would be a good day. I was going to be listening to @reasie.bsky.social

There is hope. Last night, my small, southern, and red home town elected a democrat mayor, who is also black. If the GOP had any brains left, this would scare them way more than Zohran. #2025elections

@zanzjan.bsky.social I know I am late, but I just finished “The Chronolithographer’s Assistant.” Excellent! Friendship, growth, drama and some laugh out loud humor. It has been a while since a scene gripped me as much as rescuing the dog.
