There's no plot, no beginning, no end, no heroes, no villains, no drama, and no joy. Just musings and thoughts about earth and space. A very quick read at under 150 pages, I recommend it. (Orbital by Samantha Harvey). #Books #Blueskybookclub #Bookchallenge #Booksky 2/2

This year's Booker winner, Orbital, is hard to describe. It's a novel about (sort of) the experiences of 4 Astronauts and 2 Cosmonauts one-day, sixteen-orbit around the Earth spinning below them. #Books #Blueskybookclub #Bookchallenge #Booksky 1/2

"President-elect Trump lands massive legal victory in federal election case." Fox News. No, he didn't. He just stalled and used the system that he wants to destroy.

In the Federalist Papers, "(Alexander) Hamilton warned against the selection of nominees who have 'no other merit' than 'being in some way or other personally allied to him, or of possessing the necessary insignificance and pliancy to render them the obsequious instruments of his pleasure.'" NYT

Well, the kumbaya period is officially over! If you're a really pretty woman and think my profile "looks really interesting" and you "want to be friends," please go back to Facebook and phish there. Nobody who knows me thinks my profile is "really interesting."

this is literally the future republicans want: public funds for segregation academies and religious private schools that actively discriminate against LGBT students or students with special needs

I’m somewhat disappointed in the POC community. It appears none of them are qualified to serve in the new administration. Rama-smarmy being the only exception.
