It feels weird doing book promo now, but also with the government shutdown & my husband being furloughed, we need my income.

Worth noting: False Flag goes after #pseudoarchaeology, disinformation & using AI to rewrite history to fuel a white supremacist takeover of government.

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.

On two separate segments of my walk I got to observe some tufty corgi butt waggle, so I wish you all a glorious day because mine has already been blessed beyond my wildest dreams.

EDGE OF NOWHERE is $0.99 as an ebook right now. A cranky smuggler gets hired to teleport an unconscious man. They get stranded in an alien wilderness, rely on each other to get home, and spend the rest of the book in varying states of horny panic.

or feliciadavin.itch.io...

An image of a figure in silhouette with his back to the viewer. His silhouette is transparent and the starry void of space is visible through it. The text on the cover says "Edge of Nowhere," and below that, "Felicia Davin."

Aren't they? The photo does not capture the silvery shine of the ube on especially (bottom sort of lavender one).

OOH I need to get the black sesame next time.

Sorry I'm bad at being Taiwanese and prefer these to the standard flavours.

We got our mooncakes from Bake Code and they were non-traditional (clockwise starting with the green: matcha, kitkat, and ube).

White plate with gray kaleidescopic pattern, three of those non-traditional mooncakes on top: green (match), red (chocolate kitkat), and silvery lilac-ish (ube)).

If you want to understand open adoption, it makes sense to start with birth parents—yet studies of them are few. 2+ yrs ago, I began talking w/ birth mothers to try to understand what living in an open adoption is like for them, and what rights or options they might have if challenges were to arise.

When Adoption Promises Are Broken

Many birth mothers hope to maintain contact with their child. But their agreements with adoptive parents can be fragile.
