A ridiculous 5-book haul at the library #today. I just meant to return some books and not take any out because I already have plenty going on here at home, but I couldn’t help myself. At least four were on my TBR, but the Carl Hiaasen is new, and I haven’t had time to make it there yet. One is the second book in the series (No Mercy), and one is the start of a series (A Bad Day for Sunshine). Ascension looks really cool, and Rosarita looks like an amazing short novelette.
The image shows a collection of five books arranged on a quilted bedspread with a black and white pattern. The books are:
- "Fever Beach" by Carl Hiaasen, with a vibrant orange and yellow cover featuring sunglasses.
- "A Bad Day for Sunshine" by Jarynda Jones, with a white cover and sunglasses illustration.
- "Rosarita" by Anita Desai, with a black cover and a white crane image.
- "No Mercy" by Joanna Schaffhausen, with a yellow cover and red text.
- "Ascension" by Nicholas Binge, with a dark blue cover and a white mountain peak illustration.
The books are positioned with "Fever Beach" and "A Bad Day for Sunshine" at the top, followed by "Rosarita," and "No Mercy" and "Ascension" at the bottom. The bedspread has a textured appearance with a subtle design, and the lighting is dim, creating a cozy atmosphere.

Health exceptions in abortion laws don't reduce infant deaths, according to an analysis of infant mortality data published by the CDC.
Researchers suggest the unclear language in those laws may deter medical professionals from using them, if they’re afraid of prosecution.

Hamas to Trump: We Are Ready to Release All Israeli Captives in Comprehensive Ceasefire Deal
Three weeks ago, Hamas agreed to a #US-Israeli-drafted ceasefire, but its offer was ignored. Now, the movement says it will accept a comprehensive deal in a renewed bid to end the genocide.

So, yesterday I picked up an order from a local blacksmith and he mentioned in passing, with no prompt whatsoever from me, that if I ever wanted to learn to blacksmith from a trans woman or even just someone queer that he could set it up for me.
And now I think I have no choice but to see this through.
why do you even have to ask? 🤩
Also, it would be cool to have a blacksmith friend! And it will be perfect for the day we form our gay little separatist commune 🤭

Look we did NOT start the war. We just borrowed your spy satellite. Giving just one of your dregs to NASA to use as a space telescope is on you. Not funding basic science is on you. Not securing your control api is on you. Bombing first asking questions later, totally on you. With the data we contributed to the Backyard Worlds project, we found a whole brown dwarf system just outside the Oort cloud with a habitable {moon, planet, we’re having our own war just over what to name it}. But don’t blame us for your stupid nuclear war. That’s on you.

#ScribesAndMakers Sep 1: With many new people here, let's do another round of introductions. Tell us something about yourself and your creativity.
I like fucking with genre tropes. I'm socialist going on anarchist as well as feminist and anti-racist, and my writing reflects that. I'm an improviser rather than a planner, so I like to set waypoints in my narratives and then find my way from one to the next.

I'm so tempted to say "CHA" (IYKYK), but I wouldn't do that. There's nothing I could write up there that would improve it. The Moon has been with humanity since before there were humans. It doesn't "belong" to me or anyone.

#ScribesAndMakers September 12: If you write about craftspeople, scientists, or artists, do you ask specialists, rely on a websearch, rely on your own knowledge, or something else?
I do research online. It is a *cool breeze* doing fiction research compared to academic work! Ho man. You don't have to quote it! You don't have to cite it! You can take *liberties* with the facts. My god. So freeing.

When you live by yourself, and on a budget, you get really creative with dinner.
I'm currently eating Garbanzo Beans and Peas, mixed all together. Say what you want, but this is really good.
Sep 5: What would be a major accomplishment on your current project if you could complete it this month?
I'm in the middle of a key story setup chapter. Have been for months. It would be great to finish that.
yeah I hate to say it but "Department of Defense" is a far more Orwellian euphemism
I like this move mostly because it's pointless virtue signalling that will spend billions on replacing floor mats instead of bombs.
Getting a more honest name out of it is a weird bonus.

in reply to Danielle, Petty Hate Machine • • •> Because we're so small it's really hard to hide from us that stuff sucks
Agreed. Also, in a smaller place, social networks tend to be naturally more diverse. For example, more city people have family or friends in the countryside, and vice-versa. Our small population makes it harder to balkanize into self-similar filter bubbles, where people are only aware of other people like themselves.
