Breakfast in good company.
A half eaten slice of bread covered in orange jam rests in a small plate along with a teaspoon. On the background of the photo, 3 cats. Two of them are sitting on the table and the thirds lays over a cardboard box at the bottom of the room

Every time I read the local news and see a teacher who was awarded a $250 grant for her classroom, I understand that she spent hours of her own time applying for it. Writing it. Going through a submission process. For $250. For her classroom…

Reminder to back up your work. Your whole computer, if you can, but especially your creative work—in at least two places, one in the cloud or off-site. Trust me, nobody wants to lose months of work. Back ups save you!

Book cover of Dr. Seuss' children's book,  "Oh, the Places You'll Go". A small image of a yellow figure stands on a mountain of multicolored rings. The rings expand, and span across the cover. The rings slant downward to the right and form a hill. Two other smaller ringed hills are located in the top right corner. The ring colors consist of blue, orange, purple, yellow, pink, & green. "By Dr. Seuss" appears in blue font on the bottom section of the large ring mound

So, I finished Dune: Messiah! 💙📚 I am loving these! Very fresh (yes, I know how old they are. But they are fresh to *me*!). Gonna dive straight into Children of Dune. Messiah went a totally different direction than I'd have expected. No idea what comes next. Will def have to blog about them!
The cover of Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert. It shows the surface of the planet, known as Dune to its native people, under a black stormy sky.

I opened this thinking it must be satire. Alas... I kept thinking of a scene in the film THX-1138, where our protagonist goes to an automated therapist, or the movie Sleeper, where after therapy the machine spits out a carnival prize.
