It’s publication day! I would appreciate it if you would have a read.
Alarms echoed across the port: the spacecraft was unauthorized and it was heading their way. This could mean extreme danger. But never in a million years could they have realized the true cost of what would happen when it landed.

I finally reviewed the entirety of my Cheese Log this week and numbered the cheeses I’ve tried over the past 10 years. The current total: 1,789! 😳
Give me a number from 1-1789, and I’ll reply with the cheese!

A favorite revision trick that almost always brings a dull scene to better life: transform anything the protagonist thinks into something they say aloud and then just write what happens next.

Loopy exhausted Senator Booker is still a charming inspiring delight.
Just like the Talmud teaches that the cup (booze) the coin ($) and the consternation (anger) show us a lot about who someone really is, I think exhaustion does, too.

Just a quick reminder that you are a unique and irreplaceable treasure in a vast and wondrous universe. Whatever you're doing today, I hope you're building in a little self-care time. I know you have lots to do, but none of it will happen if you burn out.

It’s been about thirty years since I last watched Highlander. Decided to give it a go since it looks like they’re remaking it.

This is something I’m struggling with right now. I’m chronically online and am trying to cut back to preserve my mental health. It’s hard though when the news moves so fast. It’s tough to stay informed (which seems vital in such a dangerous time) and also stay sane.
To preserve our humanity, I think it's important to be offline more. The truth is we can get all the news we need in one or two sittings a day, and then decide what to do about it, one day at a time. Platforms like this one can be helpful, but like everything else in life, dosage matters!
