I don't think I've yet met you in person, though! We should fix that.

She is one of the few people in my experience who outshone her reputation in person. 💖

I wrote some stuff about Dr. Jane Goodall, whom I met a few times, on the occasion of her passing.

Dr. Jane Goodall and Empathy

Many years ago, when I was beginning to study animal behavior in graduate school, we were guided to study animals as clockwork mechanisms with some variations here and there.

Just finished Squeak Thief by @kyellgold.com, which I absolutely adored. Hoping that this is just the beginning of a series of gay animal riffs on Ocean's 11. It was a lot more grounded than I expected, which was cool and believable, but I'd like to see a heist with these boys get a little silly.

Glad it was helpful! I also know the pain of trying to sound smart and knowledgeable in a review and often have to remind myself "just say what you liked." :)

I am still actively reading but I can wholeheartedly recommend this book by @kyellgold.com to anyone, it's one of the best books I've read in a long time. Reading it makes me feel like a lil weasel myself! :D

I also just realized why the main character of Price of Thorns is called 'Nivali'

Book cover reading 'The Price of Thorns' by Tim Susman. It features a weasel over a steaming silver orb

Ty everyone who has let me know that my books are in the Anthropic db. I am aware!

I had other things to say and briefly posted them but deleted the posts bc I would rather not comment on legal matters in a public forum.

Ty, I have joined the lawsuit!

Kyell Gold @kyellgold.com · Sep 9

Ty, I have joined the lawsuit. Unfortunately, the settlement (as it currently stands) will only be paid out to books registered with the US Copyright office, so only a couple of mine. :/

Kyell Gold @kyellgold.com · Sep 9

Ty, we are working on a revamp of the website! And I am so glad you enjoyed the book! 💙
