Absolutely thrilled to see THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS on Publishers Weekly's Most Anticipated SFFH Books for the Spring!
But I'm far happier to share that list with great writers like @isabel.kim @tlotlotsamaase.bsky.social and @ldlewiswrites.blacksky.app. Next year looks rad.

I am one of Naomi's friends who had shingles! I had it while I had appendicitis, so I got to say to the triage nurse, "I have shingles on my neck and left shoulder, and my abdominal pain is worse than my shingles pain." I got seen quite quickly!
I am baffled by this because I have had so many friends with shingles and NONE of them made it sound fun. Not one. A vaccine that made me absolutely miserable for 48 hours would still be a huge improvement over the mildest case of shingles I've heard of. (Also it made me tired for 1 day.)
All over my FB people talking about their bad experiences with shingles vax and dissuading each other from getting it! We need to give people real info on how to mitigate the symtoms caused by vaccines because vaccines are always better than meeting a virus unprepared. Yet drs aren't coaching ppl

Look, I promise not to rave about my apple Advent calendar every single day

I just ate a Northern Spy apple and the angels ascended and descended
How could they fit this much happiness in one admittedly gigantic apple
