Louisiana is the 1st state to require the 10 Commandments in schools.
It's a part of a 4 decade plan to turn the US into a theocracy.
Christian Nationalists took the courts, now they are coming for our kids' schools.

You write things I like. Your social media presence makes me smile. And, honestly, I enjoyed every minute of the two podcasts I've done with you. I just think you're pretty darn neat!

New Story Day: “I’ll Miss Myself” is out at @reactorsff.bsky.social!
"I'll Miss Myself" is about an app that shows you every parallel universe version of yourself--or so it says. But the app might be hiding something from all of you.

A tiny little reminder about my book (and other things) sale.
Reducing the collection. Selling 1300+ books, 1800ish comics, some graphic novels, mags, and more. And I've shipped over 200 books thus far! :D
Lots of scifi and fantasy. Help me move. Help you with... #books ???

Also not going to lie, the last year has been particularly challenging for us as a family, involving several trips to hospital for a loved one's very concerning situation and other shenanigans I can't talk about but which have taken a toll on mental health and finances. Subscribing would help both.

Note that Osha left before Acolyte started. And while we don't know what happened yet, she was effectively orphaned when the Jedi took her in. She did strongly state her intention to join, but, well, kids and all.

Technically, it's a parental choice except for orphans. Anyone can leave the order later, though the implication is that they cannot use the Force + would be paid a visit by Jedi if they did. The Sith accuse the Jedi of murdering those who reject them. But the Sith are more loose w/ truth than Jedi

Jimmy Smits has never disappointed me on screen. He is brilliant in Dexter. Even gives a great performance in Tommyknockers (not a great film, but he is a highligh). I dunno what it is about him. I'm just mesmerized. I want more of him every time.

Hello social medias...
You may not be aware a major Cat 5 hurricane struck an area that normally doesn't get them. The eye passed directly over Carriacou and Petit Martinique.
The devastation is tremendous. The need is great.
You can help and make a difference:

Paul missed the stream I did with my brother where we descended into full on birder mode and spent an hour talking about Minnesota birds and laughing about how deep into the weeds we had gotten. We were literally listening to bird sounds and judging their quality on a cuteness scale...

Given that some of them are also floating (directly or via tacit support) suggestions that people not vote in one of the most politically dire times in U.S. history, I think all of those people can walk themselves straight into the sea where they belong.

My college students chose the current edition as one of the TTRPGs they wanted to play. It veered a bit silly, but we had an absolute blast with it. 10/10 would play again :D

Mind you, I'm not suggesting that the narrative has merit. I have no idea how we can assess whether someone is in cognitive decline besides "slowing down with age," and I am highly dubious of public "analysis" arguing medical diagnoses on the basis of public speaking "flubs."

I've been telling my students to think very carefully about this messaging. Why is it that these outlets are only talking at length about Biden's age and not the other guy, who is not that much younger and has as many so-called "symptoms" of cognitive issues as there are for Biden. Feels suss.

We absolutely can be best friends. I just finished edits on an essay from years ago on Caribbean SF (Anglophone) :D. Hopefully published by next year in a collection. Also taught a course on Lit of the Americas and may just pick your brain one day on Latin American SFF :D
