Mars has two moons named Phobos and Deimos. If you write sci-fi both make excellent curse words. #writing #mars

A failed murder attempt over policies that protect the enemy forces a brooding super-soldier turned pencil-pusher to enlist the help of a gentle rebel. Adversaries unravel clues that entangle them in a conspiracy that threatens both their planets. #SF #R #M #DVpit

Enemies are forced to work together to unravel their attempted murders and find themselves at the center of a political conspiracy. There are Martians. A brooding super-soldier turned pencil-pusher. The reluctant hero who fights battles. And in the end, bureaucracy saves the day. #SF #R #M #DVpit

While we are in this Greek Mythology moment, may I remind you that Emma Thompson is adapting Pat Barker’s take on The Iliad, and she’s struggled to get it made bc the focus on what acts of war against women and survival thereafter actually look like (the core of Barker’s narrative) is too intense.

The actress told the Hay Festival she is writing a film version of Pat Barker’s The Silence of the Girls to draw attention to sexual abuse in war zones

Before you get snobbish about e-readers, remember that they allow large text for those with sight disabilities, alternate fonts for those with dyslexia, and can be laid down flat for those lacking mobility in their hands. That last point is especially helpful for me right now. Go e-readers!

Have you tried Shea Moisture’s Black Soap lotion? That’s the most soothing one I’ve found. Even helps calm chemo rashes.

Martians aren’t little green men. They’re engineered super soldiers. The best, the brightest, that’s what it took to survive Mars. Centuries later our closest neighbors have returned and they want our planet for themselves. The problem: We don’t stand a chance. #DVpit #YA #SF

Rules for survival: Don’t touch the mist unless you want to turn into a violent monster. Find your little brother before ‘they’ do. Stop the people who ruined your lives and stole your memories before they hurt anyone else. #DVpit #YA #SF #ND
