Eight weeks post-op so recovery is what it is. I'm hopeful that this is the week I'll be told I can put some weight on the foot again because the bones have finished knitting.

OTOH, one of my fav sci-fi/fantasy authors, #elizabethbear , who's written a *lot* of books, novelas, short stories, etc., also has a Patreon to get by because book sales apparently aren't enough despite a huge back catalog. Along with the Patreon comes access to a Discord server.

I can honestly say that for authors, depending upon their genre, the interaction with their fan base on socials seems to be important but I don't think it makes up a big part of sales. It does help promote book tours. I'm thinking about 2 authors I followed onto here from x: #theauthorguy and 1/

Don't give up your day...

Nevermind.

The household overlord suggested I eat those words a few times. This is Katsura. He has opinions about your wonderful books.

I'm trying to imagine archaeologists a couple of thousand years in the future when these trees are giants and the cityscape is gone.

All that will remain are these 4 totems that some mystery culture placed at the bases of the trees, perhaps to help them grow?

Did they wear their hair long and need someplace to stash it? Or was it perhaps a case of having a backup plan for when brown-nosing wasn't quite getting the job done?

The only squirrels I've encountered lately were those digging up my potted chives and mint plants right outside my back door. Cheeky tree weasels! Instead, I'll share a pic of the zero-fucks detected bros, Katsura & Gintoki.

The thing that's kind of amazing me is that the idiot is making Cabinet appointments. Full stop. Weren't a large number of Cabinet positions unfilled during its first attempt at a hostile takeover?
