Where the past meets the future, and the within meets the without, you will find me.

Genre aficionado and aspiring author. Fantasy, scifi, prog rock, ancient civilizations.
Technofeudalism is raising the rent already.
Lmao the bubble is fit to burst, boys

This is a hysterical and insane choice, I hope they follow through!

"The florist had just delivered flowers to her."

Not one of you will have any single idea about what this book is based on that sentence, LOL.

Name a hero you would never invite to dinner.

Nero Wolfe. First, he probably wouldn’t come and if he did your food would never live up to his standards and he would let you know it scathingly. Now if he invited me to his brownstone for dinner…

Traveling in non-English speaking countries, one has limited book choices. I was pleased to nab this. Never read Asher before and Wikipedia assured me this was a ‘standalone’ book. Ha! I’m piecing the backstory together & do like it, but it is hardly an entry point into his universe. #booksky #scifi

Things I will not be participating in this year #3

As we are in the NFL playoffs, I am glad that I am not a gambler. Fan Duel and its ilk are a scourge, and I urge all of you to OPT OUT of all gambling apps and such. It’s bad enough there are casinos everywhere. When is enough enough?

And I just blocked a creative whose work I very much enjoy. Shocked at the level of condescension. Oh well. People are imperfect, and I don’t need that in my playground.

I hate to be extreme, but anyone using the term ‘normie’ gets an instant block.
Seriously my friends on the left, insulting/condescending to centrists is no way to return to power. Do you want to feel superior or do you want to govern?

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.

As a school administrator, one of the best trainings I ever set up for my staff was on de-escalation, presented by a local judge. Everyone loved it.
But I guess that’s just so 2019.
