FROM JULIE PASCAL:  Traditional by Accident.

Can you say yes, if it’s impossible to say no?
The encroaching Solaran empire has gobbled up Svana’s world. Svana fled her planet with the first wave of refugees, swept up with members of a different clan. Space is vast and she finds herself on a space station, alone, waiting hopelessly for her own family to arrive to save her. Thomas is from her world and similarly adrift. He offers to save her, and it’s an offer that Svana can’t refuse, but that doesn’t mean that letting him save her is the right thing to do.

Unless, perhaps, they can somehow save each other.

“DEVIL” IS SUCH A JUDGEMENTAL WORD:  Tasmanian devils kill every penguin on tiny Australian island.

They are not native to the island; they’ve driven the native penguins extinct, endangered another species, and so traumatized the native geese that they’re roosting in trees. But don’t worry! The Save The Tasmanian Devil Program “continually monitor and evaluate” their activities.

I don’t know why I’m thinking of the homeless that infest Denver and have been given carte blanche to use public transport (for free) and camp anywhere they want to, even as the population was under house arrest.

Must be some weird cross-wiring of my brain….

“PERSONAL POPULARITY” IS AN HILARIOUS WAY OF SPELLING “VOTER FRAUD”:  Are We Stuck with Biden?

Ah, well, it’s been a long time since I taught English comp. And the AP has changed the rules several times.

BACK IT UP AND DO IT AGAIN:  Growing up American.

If we lose the last, greatest hope of mankind, what will future generations think of us?
