Hi followers! Give me a heads up if your affiliated with any of the Facebook sci/fi and fantasy book groups. Nice to see you here! I still pop over to FB, but only on my PC, so not often. Usually I'm here blabbing about books, podcasts, and whatever I watch on screen.

Can we just abolish the senate already? They clearly don't represent their constituents and throw too much power to sparsely populated regions.

This is exactly what "the man" so deeply feared. Cheap, diffuse and democrtised power generation.
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Here's another one trying to help regular people, and after all she's been through still at it.
We're suing the U.S. Department of Education for weaponizing the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.
This administration is trying to illegally cut off loan forgiveness eligibility for organizations and governments based off ideals it doesn't agree with.
I'm fighting back.

BREAKING--We're in court to fight for the public service loan forgiveness program, a promise made to teachers, police officers, and many others. This attack on public servants-and the thousands of Coloradans depending on the program-is wrong and illegal.

Centuries old vampires grapple with racism, racial purity, and genetic tinkering. Interesting well thought out world with two extant, interdependent humanoid species. A bit didactic and one major inappropriate coupling hurdle but worthwhile. #fantasy #vampires #booksky #fantasyfaction #bookreview

Just realising that the moon is upside down in the northern hemisphere. I was wondering what happened to the rabbit. Also, half moons seem to be flipped backwards. Might ask the husband but I fear the physics lecture.

The last instalment of a supernatural fantasy strung thinly through several novels is hampered by cringeworthy characters and a retelling of excruciating too recent history. Only the first and last sections grabbed me. #fantasy #bookreview #booksky #fantasyfaction

More evidence linking herpes virus infections and dementia. Get vaccinated as early as possible even if you have to pay out of pocket.
In the US: If you're 50 or older (or 19/older & immunocompromised), please get vaxxed against shingles. It's no joke.
