I love telling people that there are three different populations of monarchs in the US -- a great explanation from @xercessociety.bsky.social 🦋 xerces.org/blog/everyth...

My tiny glimmer of optimism in the GenAI/Deepfake wasteland is that we'll learn to completely distrust media from anything but the most reliable sources. Is it delusional? Probably. But it's possible so I have hope.

Experiencing the paradox of trying to promote an upcoming book and also disconnect from the toxic soup of the internet. Love this modern life!

Can Stealing from Wizards ride the coattails of reinvigorated wizard school fantasy interest coinciding with the final book in the series coming out? What portion of the proceeds should I set aside to assist the therapy bills for the child actors who will be ruined by the spotlight?

The joys of self-publishing. The manuscript is written which means I need to schedule editors, do edits, promotion, formatting, blurbs, and also my day job all at the same time. Wheeeeeee!

I worry much about the engineers I teach. All the incentives are towards profit and productivity. If they could turn their brilliance towards helping the world it would be a far better place. So many, though, are trained to be cogs in the machine and are agnostic about what that machine does.
