You'd think with all the books in this house it would be no problem to find something for me to read to Bill to distract him. BUT. After much searching I pulled this out and found to my pleasure that McPhee writes very read-aloudable prose. Good cadence and spacing for breath

I liked about 95% of Scalzi's latest, thought the end faltered. I enjoyed the structure of many changing POV narratives rather than conventional single-character

I got a few chapters in and decided this is just too damn depressing to read at this point in history. The Anthropocene Extinction is upon us

On the occasion of being 40 (actually 41) pounds down since last summer, I treated myself to something non-edible.

It's spring - first tick of the year!

The final vote: 51-45, with 4 people absent.

CLOTURE FAILS, A CONGRESSIONAL SPORTS BAN WILL NOT HAPPEN.

Democrats hold firm, not a single dem voted for cloture.

MAJOR victory for everyone who called in today and this week in support of trans people.
