I have handled my backlogged email from the trip. Please insert your favorite photo of a cute animal collapsed in apparent exhaustion here.

Well, fuck. #vagueposting

Overheard at the library: "No, Wikipedia is really biased. See if you can find something in the New York Post."

Hey, all three of the Dragon Age games are on a massive discount on Steam (less than $5 each).

Just saw my first Cybertruck. I didn't think I'd see one here until next year at least. Not an attractive vehicle at all. And that's not even touching the safety issues.

Nine years ago, my dad died at the end of June and was buried on his birthday in early July. We weren't especially close but having every company I have ever bought something from send me emails all through June every year about "Gifts for Dad!!!!" is. Not fun.

Half a Soul has apparently been in the top 20 books in Italy lately?? And look, I would LOVE to take credit, but I suspect it is ENTIRELY down to the beautiful cover the publisher gave to the translation. Look at her. Isn't she gorgeous? 😭😭😭

I want the Whybourne & Griffin hardcovers so much. I shouldn't spend my car repair fund on the full set. Maybe just Widdershins for now 🤔

Too far south for the aurora, only got partial eclipse. All the cool astronomy stuff is missing me this year :( (Partial eclipses are still cool but I'm heartbreakingly close to the zone that got a total eclipse but couldn't get out of work)

Oh no, my tbr list!

I've got both of these, so can't benefit from the deal but if you like dragons and/or Regency romance, they are great fun. I reread them, too

Eclipse shadows. We're just outside the zone of totality here.

If you’re not in the path of totality for tomorrow’s eclipse, look down, not up!🧪 The shadows get weird, so go find some trees, grab your binoculars, and bring your colander for a fun time. Here’s the 81% eclipse in Calgary in 2017

I've been recommending this book to everyone who would listen. As someone who grew up in an authoritarian cult, the emotional beats are spot on. And it's quite a good sci-fi story as well. And how not to love Kyr, who is just The Worst but in the best way. Please read this book I am begging you.

Today is the US paperback release of SOME DESPERATE GLORY, a novel I wrote about the radicalisation of children, the hollowness of fascism, the mystical dream of AI-as-divinity, and how the cult can be transparent from the outside and yet invisible from the inside. And it's now a Hugo nominee!

Well, it seems Bluesky IS just @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com, @scalzi.com and @diane.dianeduane.com talking about the intricacies of writing, fountain pens and delicious recipes after all. I‘m very much happy with that.

I will never get over this children's book about the French Revolution censoring Marianne's boobs. Let me tell you, you're never gonna learn anything about France if you can't handle some bare breasts.

End of feed.
