WON’T ANYBODY THINK ABOUT ALL THOSE UNION JOBS AND ADMINISTRATIVE POSITIONS THAT WOULD BE ELIMINATED?  Homeschool organization says public schools are blocking parents from withdrawing kids.

I DOUBT ANY QUESTION ASKED IF PEOPLE WOULD STOP RECYCLING IF IT WERE SHOWN TO BE ENVIRONMENTALLY AND ECONOMICALLY DESTRUCTIVE (WHICH IT IS):  Nearly half of American say they would NEVER give a company money again if they did this .

In other news, people like to pollsters. LIKE RUGS, they lie to pollsters.

I’D EXPECT NO LESS FROM A TAVERN NAMED LIBERTY TREE:  Texas bar owner bans customers from wearing coronavirus masks inside.

UNEXPECTEDLY!  81 percent of COVID-19 patients on cruise were asymptomatic, study says, raising concerns on lifting lockdown.

What concerns? Precisely? That just brings the rate of death of the infected down.
Personally I’m wondering what the alternative to lifting lockdown is.  “Starve harder” by fall? “Eat government money?”

It’s time to stop this nonsense. Let my people go.

SO I HAVE A NEW STORY UP. KIND OF. THIS CALLS FOR A STORY ON THE STORY, SO PULL UP A ROCK: Twenty two years ago, my husband had a traveling job, five days a week.  I was home with a six year old and a tthree and a half year old, six days a week. I was going slightly insane, cleaning, cooking and trying to break into publishing.
So, of course, I needed a hobby. Something I could do after the kids were in bed.
…  I know. Writing! But this time without the “will they accept me?” pressure.  I decided to go for fanfic, but since I rarely watch TV, I had trouble finding fanfic where I knew the original work.  Until I found various Jane Austen fanfic sites.

Over the next three? four? years I made some friendships that last to this day, and also learned more about writing than I learned in any workshop.  If you’re observant, you see from comments what is hitting, what is going over the readers’ heads, and what makes a big impact.

About three months ago, I realized I could now sell fanfic (this is proof I’m slow. I mean, I read a lot of JA fanfic when stressed, so I should know) and had a couple of stories finished and a few near-finished at a free site.  So I contacted the admin and asked her to remove them from site so I could publish.

Okay, back on:
THIS IS THE FIRST JANE AUSTEN FANFIC I EVER WROTE.  ALSO, I WASN’T ON ANY KIND OF DRUG, AND WASN’T EVEN DRINKING WHEN I WROTE IT.  YES, THIS ASSURANCE IS NECESSARY.What if He Were to Pick Me: A Pride And Prejudice Variation With A Dash of Insanity.

What if Mr. Darcy, trying to avoid the appearance of being lofty and proud, so far mistook himself as to be charmed by Lydia Bennet?
How long could the fair strumpet lady hold his interest? How would Elizabeth Bennet feel about it?
As all the Bennet sisters fall into the strangest of relationships, you’ll fear you lost your mind. But you haven’t. Just grab your sweetie and a whip – in case of unruly pillows – and hire a Bennet coach to Gretna Green. They have the best carriages, and guarantee no one will catch you.
Then hold on to your hat. You’re in for the ride of your life.

FROM FRANK J. FLEMING, THE GENIUS WHO HELPS MAKE THE BABYLON BEE AMERICA’S NEW PAPER OF RECORD:  Superego.

Rico is a psychopath.

That’s why his job as an intergalactic hitman for a massive criminal syndicate suits him so well. He gets to do what he does best: go planet to planet and wreak destruction. He enjoys his work.

But Rico’s latest assignment isn’t what it seems, and after inadvertently thwarting a terror attack, he finds himself playing the good guy. Stuck pretending he’s a cop, he gets paired with some lady detective who is more than a little suspicious of him. To make matters worse, he starts to have new feelings toward her, feelings he’s never felt before. Love, maybe? That’s stupid. What is he supposed to do with that?

And this job isn’t fun, as it soon spirals into secrets, betrayal, and a whole planet out to kill him. Well, it’s a little fun. Still, Rico may have finally found himself in a situation he can’t shoot his way out of.

But that doesn’t mean he won’t try.

DOUGHNUTS!  (FOCUSING LIKE A LASER ON THE ESSENTIAL STUFF):  Astronomers find ancient donut-shaped ‘cosmic ring of fire’.
