I’m sorry to everyone to whom this is going to be maddening. It was too funny not to share though.

An old portrait (maybe 17th or 18th century) of a gentleman in some finery posing.

Across the top, it says: I don’t always crop pictures.

In the bottom it says: But when I do

An older but very nice review of my story The Last Philosopher 😊

Chapter 1:
The first thing I noticed here was how much this first chapter reminds
me of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. You have a really similar
style and I'm not complaining at all!
I also really appreciated how you used dashes instead of commas, most
people choose to be boring.
I loved the personification and the attention to detail, the way you write
things really makes me feel as if | am there myself.

Final Impression:
I was really hooked on reading this story and youdefinitely did not disappoint! I love your books so, so much and Ihonestly couldn't find much to nitpick at. I hoped this helped at least a tiny bit <3

Rating:
10 out of 10

It would be fun if public libraries were well- funded and open in the evenings and we built a culture where it’s normal to gather at the library after work and browse the shelves and chat about the latest books and read the Saturday night away.

Via dryak@mstdn.science Thank you
Actually used as a tool to help kids going into surgery. ..but still

My cat broke his favorite toy and was very sad about it, so on his next vet visit we brought the toy along for “treatment”, and the vet totally played along.

Photo of a veterinarian’s exam room. Vet has a surgical cap and mask on. Large red cat also with a cap, is watching intensely as the vet “operates” on a toy.

Public library energy is the best energy. Like here is *all* the knowledge, it's been meticulously organized and vetted and it will cost you nothing, welcome to the absolute pinnacle of human civic evolution, feel free to pull up any bean bag chair you like

Yes, I know I've posted this before, but I really want one 😊
Public libraries could make this the door to their reading areas, then I could try it, get sick of it, and not be bothered 😁
