2. So much of the conversation in Democratic circles and in parts of political media has been about messaging.
'Oh, Democrats just need better messaging,' I hear folks say.
Wrong. Even if Dems had the perfect message, it wouldn't get anywhere. This isn't messaging problem; it's a media crisis.

The demand for the measles vaccine is so high in Texas that they are now RUNNING OUT of them. I have always said it would come to this. Science will always exist. Politics will never usurp it.

#Books2025 The Witness for the Dead by Katherine Addison
Set in the same world as The Goblin Emperor this is more of a mystery following Thara Celahar investigating several different deaths. I still want to see more from the court, but love this entry too!

#Books2025 24: Night of the Living Trekkies by Kevin David Anderson - I don't usually read zombie books, but it came billed as a humorous take, the zombie outbreak centered around a Star Trek convention.

#Books2025 21: Snuff by Terry Pratchett
It is amazing to look at the journey that Sam Vimes takes from Guards! Guards! to Snuff. The roots are there in the beginning, especially with the boots theory on how expensive it is to be poor. Here, I absolutely adore his relationship with Sybil!

#Books2025 #ClanKorval 18: The Gate that Locks the Tree by Sharon Lee & Steve Miller. A side adventure in the Liaden Universe. I was reading it with my cat Val Con curled up along side me and we are between a winter storm and a cold snap so the book felt very in the moment.

#Books2025 17: How to Steal a Galaxy by Beth Revis. Book 2 of the after the one that underwhelmed me. This one was a heist with a long con of some kind built in. I read this one straight through after struggling to finish book 1. Now it is waiting time until book 3 comes out.

#Books2025 16: Full Speed to a Crash Landing. I wanted to love this book, I should have loved it, but it didn't just pull me into the world/story. Then it all accelerated enough at the end that I picked up the next book. So I'll see what happens next!

I learned today that a former coworker committed suicide. He helped thousands of students over his career. I can't picture him without a smile on his face. If there is anything I can ever do, I'm here. If I'm not the right person to talk to, try this. 988lifeline.org?utm_source=g...
