You know what all the cool kids* are doing? Checking their voter registration on a regular basis, and/or registering for the first time.

“People who think the public schools are indoctrinating don’t know what indoctrination is. We were indoctrinated ... It’s not even comparable.”

A compassionate dive into choosing between conservative home-schooling and public school.

I was out with the Dwarf II last night to capture the Pinwheel Galaxy (M101) and the new supernova SN 2023ixf. Unprocessed photo attached. I sat a few steps from by back door near a big city, with a quarter Moon in the sky and took photos of another freaking galaxy.

Target's decision to pull some Pride items is a huge mistake. Why? Because this whole thing is solely about bigots being starved for outrage. I wrote about it.

Hooray! "Tainted Treasure" (Haunted Coast book 3) went out to beta readers this morning. Trying to give myself some time off before starting to plan for the book 4 revision (2024) and for first-drafting book 6 this fall. (Book 5 first draft already done.)

For those keeping track, "Tainted Treasure" (Haunted Coast book 3) is nearly ready to go out to beta readers. I've been cranking hard on this revision. I'm counting on my beta readers to point out the many plot holes and logic errors. :)

I've read the book that inspired this series. I've long wanted to do this for myself, too.

I'm proudly supporting President Biden for reelection.

He is the clear leader for this moment, and his record over the first two years of his presidency is extraordinary.

I'll be doing everything I can to keep him and Vice President Harris in the White House to finish the job.

My legacy-verified blue checkmark has disappeared over on Twitter. Where are people spending more time these days? I'm giving a few other social channels a try, but I'm getting spread kind of thin between Twitter, Mastodon, Post, Spoutible, FB, and Instagram and don't yet have a clear sense of what

Y'ALL. I've just finished W_T_Brown's "Dream, Annie, Dream" (plus the author's note and acknowledgements), and I am crying at my desk. This should be required reading in school.
