Every time I find a fantasy book review by Gen Z I get pissed. Seriously, do you all just listen to each others' YouTube reviews? Stop saying trope! Stop saying world building! Stop saying found family! And for the love of god stop trying to find a freaking sub-genre for every book written!!

Been reading and listening to music a lot more since our country went of the deep end. Two bands that are absolutely killing it right now: Die Spitz from and Speed of Light. Both are really young and really refreshing! Gen Z knows rock/metal!!!!!

Dear Gen-Z youtube horror and fantasy book reviewers, stop using the word "trope" and stop saying "found family" and stop acting like Brandon Sanderson is an amazing author. You're pissing me off. Thank you. Oh, and find some books that weren't just published in the last 5 years.

The first blooms are opening on my swamp milkweed! Hopefully the pollinators (and maybe some monarchs) are far behind!

If you follow U.S. Soccer you already know that Alexi Lalas and Carli Lloyd are unmitigated idiots!

Fox Sports only has them on because they are Trump lovers, definitely not for their insight.

We were out doing a citywide trash clean up today. While I was picking up litter I noticed all the birds singing around me. It's what they do, but it felt more like they were thanking us for caring about them.

Nature cares for all living things without judgement, we need to do the same.

When you think of shit beer, you often think of Wisconsin eg. PBR, Miller, Milwaukee's Best, etc...

However there is also a thriving microbrew scene here and 3 Sheeps is one of the best breweries in the state, Fresh Coast Pale Ale is a wonderfully bitter beer.

Sherman should have headed west after he reached the sea. So sick of southern welfare states lecturing the rest of us with their fabricated law and order BS.

Read Susan Cooper's The Dark Is Rising Sequence. It's YA featuring a young English boy who discovers he has magical abilities on his birthday. Also, her wonderful prose smokes the transphobic lady's. It might not be LOTR meets Sweet Valley High but it will stay with you for a lifetime.

Wonderful photograph! Is that in the Palouse? Reminds me of my own walks along the tracks between Moscow and Pullman.

Anyone who voted for the current bullshit going on in this country. Fuck you! This is on you, and the destruction of our economy is on Republicans, this better not get buried in the whitewashing of history that happens every fucking time!

Musk is trying to buy votes in Wisconsin. Resend this if you’re from Wisconsin and you’re not for sale.

I lived and studied in Germany from 1991-92. I used to listen to VOA every morning along with the German stations. I'm still in shock that one lunatic can undo so much goodwill. We've betrayed our best friends, sad times over here.

3/4 of the way through Robin Hobbs' Shaman's Crossing. Not going lie, this is a real slog, 510 oversized pages and not much action. Probably not the best introduction to her work.
