Received my copy of Authenticity and Adaption edited by @stinaface.bsky.social. Can't wait to read it!

Reading Barbara Kingsolver's excellent 'Unsheltered' from 2018. After just finishing the 'Watchmen' television series from 2019, this passage was particularly resonant:
Photograph of a page from Barbara Kingsolver's 2018 'Unsheltered' with the words "'I suppose it is in our nature,' she said finally. 'When men fear the loss of what they know, they will follow any tyrant who promises to restore the old order.'"

Get your vaccines today, while you still can! Got my MMR and pneumonia vaccinations today (not due for my COVID booster until May).

Picture of my cat, Quetzalcoatlus, included because he is extremely cute.
