iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

My hubs wears a 14 4E shoe. I wanted to get him something to slip on in the morning like a classic Birkenstock clog like I’ve been wearing forever. Think I can find anything? He can’t be that rare!👞

Hey #BookSky friends, I have an interesting bit of info to share—about the state of publishing. Storytime: I am an author of fiction/nonfiction with a NY agent, full time writer for 10 years. I can verify 2026 is the WORST for getting in print. Lots of reasons, but I learned something NEW in Sept 1/

Anyone old enough to remember this book? With Folded Hands... (1947), a classic science fiction novella by Jack Williamson, which he expanded into the full-length novel The Humanoids (1949). To Serve and Obey, and Guard Men from Harm." Taken to its logical conclusion. Thank you, AI for the info.

@wiswell.bsky.social I’ve got my hubs reading The Dragon and he likes it. I’m trying to expand his horizons. He likes SF but not fantasy so much but I’ve turned him on to some newer authors…like not the old school SF we grew up with (with gratitude, gateway drug). Times change, we have to also.

I wonder what it says about a person who can read a book and be brought to tears by totally fictional people and events? I always feel kinda dumb when this happens to me, especially in public but…isn’t that why we read fiction, to care and be involved with someone else?

BT Cooper is off to get some specialized X-rays today. He’s our old cat who has been suffering with chronic breathing issues, mostly like congestion, no exterior drainage but gurgly stuff in his…sinuses maybe? We’ve tried to figure out what’s going on, nothing we do helps.

I’m intrigued about what behaviors made the guy who originally had the cat think “wildlife shelter”? Shredding the furniture? Spraying? Biting you for fun? No litter boxing? Eating the children? I think about living with wild animals daily. Cats=wild. nypost.com/2026/09/17/s...

Iconic part of my childhood was watching the Carol Burnett show every week and watching the cast try not to break during moments like this. THIS moment? My entire family was on the floor, dying laughing. RIP Bob Mackie, who always understood the diva assignment.

Reading a fun military SF series. Got a Murderbot vibe to it (he gives a shout out to Murderbot) with a war bot instead of a secbot. Snappy dialogue. Not too heavy, tragedy and humor. I, Anomaly. Sean Robins.
