@alixeharrow.bsky.social has achieved what I thought impossible: a poignant, relevant, AND satisfying fantasy/romance/adventure novel, that is ALSO a believable and enjoyable time loop. This is a groundbreaking masterpiece. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

When we lose Joann Fabrics what we are losing is the privilege to create bad art, to fumble through learning a new craft with cheap materials, to keep going back for more because we fucked up the first few tries.

Chappell Roan said parents are in hell and she’s right. But you are lying to yourself if you think you are not in hell just because you don’t have kids. The same broken systems making parents miserable are causing everyone to suffer. We need to stop talking like parents DESERVE to be in hell.

Feeling inadequate because I forgot a very important decimal point at work, so I’m gonna treat myself to an afternoon espresso on an empty stomach. That always helps.

Tips for editing? I am picking my way through my first novel-length manuscript, what is the beta? Is it better to do it all at once? Should I do a read through first and then go back and make changes?

Get swooped!
By a rare endangered California condor. They were really showing off that 9.5 ft wingspan for us. When I was a kid there were only 20 of these guys left in the wild, it is such an honor to see them soaring. #birds #birdwatching #nature

May I present my sourdough cinnamon rolls. I thought I was craving a little treat, but actually I am craving external validation.

6 years ago I started writing a novel about an evil tech billionaire who crowns himself king of America and I Really wish I’d finished it like, three months ago.

Didn’t take any good photos at the renaissance festival, so here’s one in my plant bathroom after the renaissance festival.

This is the best news I’ve seen in years.
Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating.
This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens.
(Even better: Tesla will hate this)

Cars will need fewer screens and more buttons to earn five-star safety rating in Europe
Euro NCAP will release new testing guidelines in 2026.

The feds have set up enddei.ed.gov so anybody can report "DEI" in schools and try to get them segregated.
But anybody can submit anything to this portal.
You know what to do.

I’ve heard the most racist/homophobic/misogynistic things said by people who voted democrat. And I’ve seen trump voters be kind and neighborly to my trans friends. Maybe beneath the political bullshit we aren’t as different as they want us to believe. Love your neighbor, then eat the rich.

Invasive grass species in the Sonora have made the desert so flammable. There was a majestic saguaro here in September. Nothing is left of it but the hole where it stood and the ash outline where it fell.
