I've finished the novel, and I'd like to point out that I was 100% correct about it. It's wonderful. While I was disappointed to find the book "Emily" is fictional, I was delighted to learn so many other details are not. The Historical Note afterword will keep me busy a while. 📚🪐 #booksky

No, thank YOU! You have given me hours of joy/sadness/pain/entertainment. I'm completely cis-het and the way you let the reader inhabit the lives of LGBTQ/Trans people is amazing. Well done!

📚🪐 #booksky I've been a fan of @charliejane.bsky.social for a while now, and I'm in the last third of "Lessons in Magic and Disaster." I think this may be her best work yet. The characters and dialogue are pitch-perfect. Go forth and acquire this novel. You won't regret it.

I genuinely fear for Zohran Mamdani life. He is peeling back the curtain more every day and the powers that be, historically, don’t like that very much. Protect him at all costs, he’s going to change American politics forever.

Misogyny. An important read. One movement has become “the single most important force uniting the American right, bringing together an unlikely constellation of pastors, posters, senators, preachers, influencers, podcasters, and fanboys,” Helen Lewis reports. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

A virulent form of misogyny has become the single most important force holding together the American right.

In the US not all speech is protected by the 1st Amendment. Seems like there's a good basis for a law that prevents politicians from lying, requires correction for mistakes and punishes deliberate untruths. (Exceptions around nat'l security should be well-defined.)

Scientists uncovered the nutrients bees were missing - Colonies surged 15-fold

A lab-made diet supercharged bee colonies and could help save our food supply.

Date:

March 27, 2026

Source:

University of Oxford

Summary:

Scientists have developed a breakthrough "superfood" for honeybees by engineering yeast to produce the essential nutrients normally found in pollen. In controlled tri-als, colonies fed this specially designed diet produced up to 15 times more young, showing a dramatic boost in reproduction and overall health. As climate change and modern agriculture reduce the availability of natural pollen, this innovation could offer a practical way to support struggling bee populations.

@byzantienne.bsky.social I had picked up "Memory.." some time ago and put it down right off. Not sure why. Wrong frame of mind? But I tried again and just devoured both books. I took the waterproof Kobo into the shower, got up early to read with coffee. Couldn't stop. Great work! Thanks.
