Okay, my follower count and mix on here is now such that I need to say this:

If you know me in real life, no you don't.

If you saw me at a place I can routinely be found, no you didn't.

Thank you for understanding.

Extremely here for this. Is there a non-Amazon way to get it as an ebook?

I'm not the only one who thinks it's funny that Adam has Davey's hair from 20 years ago, right?

Discovered the word for asexual. Sold a lot of books. Became friends with really smart people all over the world specializing in things I wanted to learn about.

My understanding is that the federal programs have ended, but up until recently, a lot of distro centers still had stock. But we've got a major Covid resurgence around here, so they've been disappearing fast.
