Biggest jump in enthusiasm for silent reading was when I told them audiobooks and graphic novels were options.

My attention span has just been decreasing for a while. Even sitting down for one game doesn’t work well.

Trying to make more reading time before bed.

I try to kill that inner crit every day, but the turning point might have begun when a kid made fanart of the story I was reading them during dismissal while working day camp.

If one of my weird little stories inspired someone else to make something? Then maybe the cringe in my head all along.

It’s so good! Glad you’re finding a way out of the slump. Graphic novels have been doing it for me, and Gideon the Ninth

Friends and I have been waiting for the next book!

It’s a pretty cold day. Some super soakers and water balloons (filled with anything you want, really) might be useful.

I just leave broken systems in my wake. So many planners. So many to-do lists.

I’ve been replaying Gold after finding it at a con, I like these thoughts

I think this was a joke about the name. It’s not that deep.

You think people would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

The answer is they say it’s fake, or the dating is wrong and it’s post-church era when they “invented” Latin.

Radiocarbon dating of mortar has well-documented usage in archaeology, Donna just has no idea what she’s talking about, but needs an excuse to dismiss inconvenient evidence.

I spent way too much of this afternoon arguing with her. Primary sources are invalid unless they’re direct original manuscripts (that’s not how history works). Stone inscriptions are fake, ask a geologist (no, she didn’t name any), all the historical writings of Rome were forged by the church, etc.

Amidst their whole Gish Gallop, I somehow missed that, yikes, this is basic high school level source identification.
