Yep. And unless a writer does all their work in longhand (and some do!), I'd suggest they think about why their working at a computer or typewriter is different than a woman in Asia working at a sewing machine.

Re: jco taking pot shots at romance, I just wanna say clothing did not need to catch those strays. She seems to think, as many do, that clothing "machine made" in a factory is shoved down the conveyor belt by automation but the machines in factories in this case are: sewing machines.

Babe 😭 (Genuinely, read this right now. It's excellent.)

To be fair, I’m not doing so great with men. I told my most recent date that I was working on a novella. “Because you’re Mexican?” he asked. I asked what he meant. “Isn’t a novella a Mexican novel?” Before him was the guy who confessed over drinks that he didn’t “believe in Helen Keller,” because there was “no way she actually flew that plane.” I asked if he meant Amelia Earhart. “Who?” I slept with both of them.

Ok, last day of the month. My health took a severe downturn over the summer and I haven't been able to do much. If I can get up to 70% of my goal, that'll take care of my biggest concern, and free me up to fill your October with cool, seasonal arts! ko-fi.com/karidru

Regarding brain on drugs versus learned it by watching you, the former was always funny. You cannot take a sizzling egg as any kind of health message. Not even one ABOUT EGGS. (Are they good for you this week?) But "learned it by watching you" felt accurate.

Let's fix that. The first three are an omnibus now, so it's easy to get started without feeling like an ATM. The Waverly Jones books are delightful. Our times aware, ACAB, character forward mysteries for the angry. If you yearn for justice but you live in the bad timeline, these are for you.

My third novel, HERO COME HOME, officially has a cover! Preorderable from the usual places us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

The cover of my third novel, HERO COME HOME. Four human figures centred, the main image being that of a bearded man looking back over his shoulder (that's Oro, the protagonist), with a circle of symbols behind him. We can see a swan and a key. In the foreground are three people: two women, one with a mysterious marking? scar? who knows!? on her cheek and the other carrying a sword, flanking an older, balding man holding up a pistol. The possibly-scarred woman looks ever so slightly amused, and that is certainly very like her. Everybody else is not happy to be here, or indeed, anywhere

The Morning Monty stakes his claim.

Fluffy gray tabby lounging squarely in a sunbeam atop a pink crocodile throw rug (I found it on end of season clearance at maybe Homegoods? Marshall’s? I don’t remember); ignore the towel on the floor - Lucy is an old lady now, and sometimes needs a potty break sooner than we realize. She’s a good girl tho, and always uses her pee pads/towels. It’s not a big deal, tbh.

It has been asked elsequote if other colleges would and I can say my alma would have at least entertained the question. It was in the handbook that if you suffered a list of specific tragedies, they'd reimburse you if you had to drop out OR your grades would be frozen if you chose to stay.

Paddling (canoeing) across Windermere today, into the teeth of a pretty stiff Force 3 wind - lumpy, and just this side of whitecaps - I came across a swimming squirrel, looking very stressed. Not a planned swim, I'm guessing. It was 300m to either shore, so I'm not sure s/he was going to be okay.
