THAT’S NICE, BUT FOR ME TO USE THIS TECHNIQUE AND LOOK GOOD IN A FUTURISTIC ONE-PIECE, I NEED MY BODY 30 YEARS AGO:   A Serious Temptation.

Not that I begrudge Sgt. Mom who is a friend. Maybe I should write steampunk. DIL and DIL in training both like sewing period clothing.
It’s worth a try.

NOT-NEWS YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE:  Pencils.

YEAH, I AM FULL AWARE HOW SILLY AMERICANS ARE ON RACE:  The Idiocy of America’s Racial Classification System.

My view of American-born-and-raised people and their views on race is that Farside cartoon with the penguin bathrooms with identical images and “only they call tell the difference.”

About the third time total strangers approached my family while we were out at something public and asked what race we were because they couldn’t tell I decided the only cure to all of this is Thorazine in the water supply. Either that or filter out the Quaalude.

Look, as my mom said when she visited “Americans. You can’t tell what anyone is. They’re all so mixed.” At the time I added “And proud.” We should still be. The idea our society can have a race war is like lines having a sphere war. You can tell the left is insane because sex, which has a proper, biological definition, they’ve decided is actually a social construct. Meanwhile race, which is a slippery phantom, they want set in stone.

Bah.

AND SPEAKING OF THINGS THAT ARE CREEPY:  Tucker: This is a matter of national survival [VIDEO]

Sure, sure. It’s a conspiracy theory. Sure, sure, plants burning and what not is completely normal. But you know, I remember that the egg crisis was supposed to be maybe three months, and not keep getting worse.

Other things I remember…. these days conspiracy theories tend to be revealed as truth in a month or two.

It’s not like I like clown world. It’s just where we live right now.

EVEN I THEY HAVE TO INVENT IT:  Race Everywhere.

And largely they do.

OH, NO. IT’S NOT TOO LATE. THE RECKONING IS JUST NOT GOING TO BE WHAT ANY OF US WANTS:   It’s Far Too Late For A ‘Reckoning’ Of The Trump Years. The Corrupted News Media Are Irredeemable.

They refused to let us fix things the easy way, through elections. That means the reckoning is coming. I am not threatening. I am predicting. These things always have a payback, and it’s far more terrible than the idiots trying to control the systems can imagine.

I’VE REISSUED THE LAST OF THE PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED DARKSHIP BOOKS: I’m now — barring disaster (can we bar disaster? Please? Just for a year or so?) ready to roll with finishing and releasing new ones, though the one for late this month is not a science fiction but the next entry in the Daring Finds mysteries (A Well Inlaid Death.)  After that we’ll have Hacking the Storm, Fuse’s story. Then the next Shifters (All Hot.) And then Darkship Defiance. Now that we’re empty nesters, and I have a small group of helpers (though still ironing out kinks) might just make it easier to get all the piled up stuff out at last. Barring disaster and knocking on head.

For now there is Darkship Revenge (Yes the second half probably May: Darkship Defiance. I mean the book is a complete arc, but obviously there’s the battle for Eden ahead.) Oh, yeah, and yes, there is a hardcover. Amazon just hasn’t associated it yet.

Darkship Revenge (Darkship Thieves Book 5) by [Sarah A. Hoyt]

The World Can’t Be Made Safe….

But it doesn’t mean Athena Hera Sinistra isn’t ready to try. Flying back to Earth Orbit from her asteroid home, leaving behind unresolved questions and turmoil, Athena becomes a new mother in orbit.

As is perhaps fitting, her daughter is born during battle with an unknown foe.

A battle that ends with Kit – Athena’s husband – missing, and Athena’s ship damaged.

So Athena names her daughter Eris, and goes to war.

What follows is a non-stop fight by a very angry mother, who wishes to make the world(s) safe for her newborn daughter, and other children too.

When the adventure is over, it is just the start of another, where children will be rescued, old tyrants brought to justice, and freedom restored.

If it can be.
