I worry about people who embrace spite for motivation. I've found it always blinds me to consequences. Compassion, directed to myself and others, provides greater clarity.

"Love your neighbor as yourself." Those of us who struggle to love ourselves are baffled by the 2nd commandment. Why would we be so mean to others? But think of the sociopaths in the world for whom other people aren't real. "See other people as people."

Is Australia doing this? Because I miss buttons & dials. The other day I was even missing the old, old days when changing TV channel meant getting up and twisting the knob. *If I was to lose the TV remote I'd be inconsolable, but nostalgia isn't always rational.

Launching a new series is nerve-wracking. Stars Die - Recalled from the frontier, the new Warden of Caldryn Parliament is well aware she’s not a popular choice, but she never expected to portal into a murder scene. www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXMQQT8J #scifi #mystery #fantasy

My new book series has its own website. I'll be blogging there weekly on writing & publishing as well as book recommendations. And, of course, about Caldryn Parliament itself. caldryn.com

The birth of steampunk: the legendary and prophetic science fiction work of French illustrator and author Albert Robida, published in 1885. Wonderfully illustrated, it depicts life in the 20th century. Aerial travel, video communication, floating sky palaces and equal rights for women.

Turns out we sleep longer than people living in small non-industrial societies, like hunter gathererers, tho our daily rhythms are more out of sync 🧪 This suggests we get more sleep than our ancestors did, contrary to all the claims of a "sleep loss epidemic" www.newscientist.com/article/2469...

Just shut FB feed after a Zuckerberg post popped up. I certainly didn't ask to see it. Do not follow him. Nor is it labeled advertising. It's such a little thing to make me so mad, & yet, it's not little, is it? As an author I try so hard to reach people & FB throttles reach, yet for Mark...

On a flight home, Caitlin Shetterly told the man next to her that after 9/11, flying made her nervous. Then the man told her something she'll never forget: "Most people are good."

i think "an effective altruist is personally denying twenty million people their HIV medications despite a court order telling him to send the money" is a pretty good summary of effective altruism as a real world philosophy

Writer friends are discussing how to enrich your writing, and my go to advice is read more poetry.* Which made me think of these gorgeous lines from W. S. Graham's Sgurr Na Gillian Macleod *Also I should take my advice right now

Good grief! Having switched to "Classic" Microsoft 365 to get rid of Copilot, I still had to go into Word & click Options to find Copilot & click OFF the auto-enabled Copilot box. Now, I am finally (maybe temporarily) free of the annoying "paste with Copilot" message while editing.

On the day I woke with a headache, my neighbour woke with the desire to use his powertools. From 6:30am. And he has me so well trained that my first thought was gratitude. He often starts 30 mins earlier. Huge sigh.
