This article is long and distressing, but it's also important. It's about the atrocity the United States carried out in February, the bombing of the Iranian school in Minab. I use the word "atrocity" deliberately. It's the correct word. www.dropsitenews.com/p/minab-scho...

Why did Paleolithic people sit down and carve lovely little birds out of stone? Or paint animals on cave walls? Or make flutes out of bird bones?

Today's Book Quote Wednesday and the #BookQW word is 'treat'. In Waterborne Exile the freemerchant Marten's plans - years in the making - are unravelling.
Extract from Waterborne Exile by Susan Murray:

“Marten, the sight raises more questions than it ever answers. I’ve seen you as a great man. You had everything in place before Tresilian betrayed us all. And you can again. You will. But you must stay true to your people.” 

“What, the people who made me a laughing-stock today?” 

“They are still your people. You risked everything for them once.” 

“Never again.” Marten stood up slowly, his eyes on Alwenna. “I’ll see you set back on your throne as queen of all the Peninsular Kingdoms before I’ll treat with them.” He pushed away from the table and the wine in the bottle was stirred by his movement, ripples spreading across the dark surface. Alwenna’s attention was drawn into the darkness beneath the perturbed surface and she could no more resist her sight than she could convince Marten of what he must do. 

She dived down and down, deeper into darkness, moving through the liquid as if it were nothing more than a breeze. Her hair trailed loose behind her, free and unfettered and her heart pumped blood through her veins with a wicked glee. It was so good to be alive, so good. And revenge would be even better. Ahead of her lay a small cairn. As she drew closer she could see it was composed not of rocks as she had assumed, but of bones. Reposing on the very top of the cairn lay the jewelled dagger.

#BookQW – treat

Cover of Waterborne Exile by Susan Murray. A woman in a blood-spattered white gown moves past the viewer, holding a bowl of blood in both hands. A bloodstained dagger is tucked in her belt. Cover art by Paul Young.

Delightful also to hear real eagle noises. In movies eagles are always dubbed with hawks, since hawks found fierce and eagles sound like adorable squeakers.

Websites are (or can be) simple, reliable, low maintenance, and accessible to anyone on any device. They're great for archiving information. Why complicate matters with apps? (I know why - because apps can gather far more personal data than a simple web site).

I've read a few novels lately that are employing what I think of as "viewpoint chaos" to good effect and I keep wanting to stop and study it It's a multi-pov approach where pov can switch mid-scene instead of just at chapter/scene breaks. The moments of handoff are what fascinates me

Volition is irrelevant. If the headline was "vicious dog breaks out of OpenAI office and bites man" there would be no question who was responsible. "But the dog is its own entity making its own choices!" Fuck off, either it's property you own or not, you can't have it both ways.

These are not fully formed ideas but what I am sensing is a toxic combination of: - So few people reading quality fiction where you have to put yourself in someone else's shoes & actually pay attention, rather than reading passively. This results in lacking basic reading skills.

The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.
