I honestly don't know how anyone can hate Starfleet Academy. It is a love-letter to every franchise before it while still pushing forward, and it does so lovingly and with deep respect to canon and lore.
I nearly cried with *they* showed up.

There have been many journalists arrested in the US before. I'm one of them.
This is still very different. Lemon wasn't arrested as part of a mass of arrests of people surrounding a protest as it was happening and released (as I was). Lemon is being re-arrested for having covered a protest.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Tonight I finished the chapter where my hero, Jishnu the Srijati, rides to save his wife and his friends on the back of golden dragon that talks. They fall from the sky so hard it looks like a shooting star.
And 9-year-old Jay finished the chapter he always wanted to read.

Finished a chap in the UF Romantasy, and I'm suprised how these characters click via dialogue. A lot of Romantasy and UF I've read in 1st POV is dialogue heavy, but sometimes feels super-scripted.
Good Romance follows a script, but doesn't feel scripted? I guess?

Snowed in but had a productive day. 2k into the Dragon War finale, gathered all the shorts I need for a collection I'll be releasing, and outlined several more short stories this weekend that I'm eager to get into.
