Science fiction writer: the cup has floated away from where the astronaut is strapped down, but that's OK, she thinks, it has a lid on it. Wait, what's that undulating ball of liquid floating about? Oh crap, I didn't tighten the lid.

My only complaint about BlueSky so far is there is a lot of political anxiety and not nearly enough true crime news. That's okay. I'll wait.
