Folks, please don’t post links to unlicensed merchandise in my mentions. I know it’s out there but I can’t do anything about it and I’d rather not see it. The only licensed merch is being sold by Worldbuilders to fund raise for charity. Link below.

Boosting in case folks haven't seen it. Two things. 1. I still have questions (of course I do). 2. I want to reiterate that Kobo is handling this EXACTLY as they should be. They updated the ToS. They announced it. Actual humans reply to emails. The CEO is responding. All within *days*.

Yesterday's bike ride was 5.73 km. I had planned for more like 10 or 11 km, but my rear tire popped at about 5.72 km. Yesterday's walk home was 4.02 km. #Sigh

There's a fascinating tic in conservative psychology: an utter inability to admit that "shit happens". Every right-wing person I know has a bedrock belief that if something bad happens to you, you MUST have done SOMETHING to deserve it.

Sometimes you buy an album on the strength of a single song, and you're lucky, because every song on the album is great. Weather is changing again Animals are moving in new directions ... Do you remember me? Well I remember you #CanCon #13Engines #PerpetualMotionMachine
