The Department of Defense deemed a story about baseball hero and civil rights leader Jackie Robinson's time in the Army as "DEI" and deleted it.

DO NOT REACT TO EVERY PIECE OF NEWS. It is all trash. It is all a dumpster fire. They are flooding us with cruelty and 404 errors and Executive Orders.
Take a deep breath. It's only day 2.
Get back in your body. Log off even for 5 mins and stare at wall.

An absolutely brilliant book. One of the type that I finished and immediately read through a second time so I could appreciate it even more. An absolute gem of vivid, strange, clever, angry thoughtfulness.

This post was a reminder - I just ordered the first three books I ever read of Aliette's - the Obsidian and Blood trilogy. Set in Aztec time (?) and place, and brilliant. Use that holiday $$ and pick up a new book! I did. 😊 x3 because I'm extra with books.
I hate doing that but with the current state of crisis (loved one in hospital + other stuff I won't go into), I'd love to have some income.
If looking for last minute Xmas presents, please consider my book? It has space jellyfish and martial arts and sapphic romance

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).
