Reader of things, and occasional author.
This came up in conversation elsewhere and I figured I'd repost here in case one of today's lucky 10,000 is wandering around.

Got my copy of Wind and Truth today. I'd like to say I'm going to curl up with it this weekend, but I should probably read the other books again so this might take a while...

Age limits on legislators make more sense every day. If you cannot do light parkour to arrive at an emergency vote, then perhaps it's time to retire.

I need assistance, because we're missing a word. We need a term for the phenomenon where you avoid viewing or listening to something because you don't want it to skew your recommendations. Shame skip? Rec avoidance? Nothing I come up with sounds right.

The rain is relentless, and as a retaliatory move against Big Water I have obtained and consumed one of its denizens. Coho salmon with tajin and sesame, roast veg of various sorts, and a salad because (for whatever reason) food must be on top of other food to be truly satisfying.

Ophelia is the character in Hamlet who drowns, and I feel like this storm is living up to its namesake rather well. Maddie is over it already.

I feel the need to have content here, so here is Maddie embodying the fundamental struggle between the necessity of existence and the bliss of unconsciousness.
