#StarshipSummer by Eric Brown. Earthlings put their pasts behind them on an alien world with sun and surf aplenty and find: alien mysteries, a murder, suicide, hope, joy and love.

#writing nothing accomplished. I'm okay with that at present. Maybe I'll get ambitious later. Who knows.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

My coworker has free range chickens and is offering a dozen eggs for 2.50, as available. Might have to wait a couple weeks, but I'm getting myself those eggs for cheap. 🤑

Working in the bookshop today, a customer came in to ask why she couldn’t find her niece’s novel in any bookshops. After some research, I found that her publisher was a vanity press whose claims of worldwide distribution were vastly exaggerated. 😕

OK, time for a crowdsourced Make Good Things Happen post. In the thread, give us your favorite locally-owned, non-fash-endorsing small business (that isn't yours). Bonus points if they have a website/can ship, so people outside your area can find them. Let's give some love!

If you know anyone who lost their job recently, please remind them to check out their local libraries. Most public libraries offer job hunting services for free.

Called my representatives today to complain about cuts to the National Parks, then threw in anger at cuts to cancer research and cuts to university research. Firing Federal employees willy-nilly. I hate calling these people, but I'm doing it! We have to. 5calls.org

#cost intuitively this seems like an end to the most cost effective option. Increasing efficiency or maximizing the #healthcareheadache?

#writing outlined the final sequence of the WIP. Decided it was a bit too mundane/predictable. Brainstormed ways to make it better. Had some fun ideas. Not quite enough to get me to the climax but getting there.

#CHARACTER the person that won't relent in a bar fight that they provoked until there is a gun pointed at their head. In the past this has limited economic prospects, b things are looking up now. A new regime is in, and there are job opportunities aplenty for a person of their obtuse malevolence.

#Kushiel'sDart by Jacqueline Carey. Received a gifted copy few years ago but never read. Yesterday, i randomly selected, intending to read a few pages. After all, had it long enough. I wouldn't say the subject matter is for everyone but the prose is superb. Ended up reading 50pgs.
