The best thing about writing science fiction thrillers is creating new worlds, and adventures and exploring our wonderous human imagination, as that's where the new technologies of tomorrow come from.

In his annual Christmas message, King Charles III spoke from the chapel of a former hospital, rather than from a royal palace, in a rare departure that was designed to emphasize his appreciation for health workers and volunteers.

Leaving behind Musk and his minions.

Keeping a clean conscience though...

If you're in Sheffield, we can deliver by hand, on foot, to any address in the city within the area bounded by (or slightly beyond) the blue line. And Grenoside and Wigtwizzle. This might be useful for any last-minute Christmas orders (last day to order via this method is Sunday 22 Dec).

#PSA: It should never cost the #author to #publish a book. Never. If *you* hire an #editor or #coverartist, that cost money. But if someone says they are a #publisher, and they demand money for their services, it is ALWAYS a scam. Legit #publishers pay you, you do not pay them. Ever. Not one penny.

Full detailed image of a star factory.
Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex is the closest star-forming region to Earth, and producing several sun-like stars each year.
🔭 🧪
Red dual opposing jets coming from young stars fill the darker top half of the image, while a glowing pale-yellow, cave-like structure is bottom centre, tilted toward two o’clock, with a bright star at its centre. The dust of the cave structure becomes wispy toward eight o’clock. Above the arched top of the dust cave three groupings of stars with diffraction spikes are arranged. A dark cloud sits at the top of the arch of the glowing dust cave, with one streamer curling down the right-hand side. The dark shadow of the cloud appears pinched in the centre, with light emerging in a triangle shape above and below the pinch, revealing the presence of a star inside the dark cloud. The image’s largest jets of red material emanate from within this dark cloud, thick and displaying structure like the rough face of a cliff, glowing brighter at the edges. At the top centre of the image, a star displays another, larger pinched dark shadow, this time vertically.

Now that they destroyed their own neighborhood, the Maga/Elon trolls are rolling in to BlueSky.

My recommendation is to block early, on the first offense, without explanation.

Here are my rules why I block them:
