Ripped through Curse of Chalion and (the even better) Paladin of Souls by Lois McMaster Bujold. Burned through Tainted Cup and its sequel. Months until Ironbound gets a sequel. I need some compelling escapist fantasy and I’m out. #booksky please help, it’s dark by 5pm, I need escape. #books #fantasy

Still blows my mind that I live in the absolute beating heart of San Francisco, one of the tech capitals of the world, and I can’t get fiber internet. I know we have bigger problems, but still.

Had a date at a local bar last night. Thought we were just grabbing drinks but we ended up inadvertently crashing a leather kink literature reading event being held at said bar, as a part of Lit Crawl SF. Made the evening a lot more eclectic and interesting than expected. Ah, I love San Francisco.

Ok but what if you’d put a stream of seeds and the stringy insides all over the keyboard?

Having gifts to give out on playa is a total game changer. I gave these out to my solar team, and then extras as playa gifts. It was so fun. And post-playa my backpack got an upgrade.

What words are there? Heinous? Deplorable? Genocide.
Five out of six Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza were civilians as of May, according to Israel's own military intelligence.
"In Gaza we are talking about a campaign of targeted assassinations, really, rather than battles, and they are carried out with no concern for civilians.”

Revealed: Israeli military’s own data indicates civilian death rate of 83% in Gaza war
Figures from classified IDF database listed 8,900 named fighters as dead or probably dead in May, as overall death toll reached 53,000
