The rare update
Well, they're definitely rare at this point, most stuff is out of my hands, lawyer is working on some stuff, and its really a matter of just waiting at this point.
We were at Sunset Hills flea market selling stuff Sat, mixture of left overs from my storage unit flipping days, Vik's stuff, and some of my stuff I don't want. That didn't go all that well, but that's because I wasn't well prepared, I gathered stuff last minute, and where I thought I had stuff to sell, turns out there really wasn't all that much. Clearly next time I need to be better prepared.
I'm also using a we buy books type app to sell off his massive book collection. The good news, they're buying 592 books. The bad news? I have to pack those to ship to them, that's going to be a barrel of laughs. It took about 4 days to scan and key all those in, and I've stopped working to focus on it. Their prices are kinda crap, but they cover shipping, so what do you expect? Also they'll likely reject some of the books, so the promised money will drop, but honestly, shrinking the collection is kinda more important than the money. When I have this batch gone, I use another app, and then when that one is done, I'll use another one, and after that, anything left will be sold at the flea market or dropped into free libraries along my deliver routes. Or maybe sell on WhatNot.
Now with that said, there is a collection I need to figure out what to do with, and that's magazines. Some like Asimov and Analog, relatively easy, if nothing else I'll set up shop on WhatNot and sell them or the flea market, but there's also a lot of pagan magazines like RFD, Green Egg and others, some body art magazines, as well as some gay porn and a few issues of Advocate. Sure, I could just pulp them, but that seems a shame, they do reflect the culture of the time, I kinda feel they should be preserved, but I'm not real interested in doing so.

Fediverse, do you regularly read any print periodicals? What ones? I like having some around to have a but more print short form content to read, which helps avoid doom scrolling.
I get The Nation (USA progressive current events and politics, monthly) and New Scientist (UK based, available in USA, science and nature, weekly)
New Scientist also has good audio versions of their articles in their app, and good free podcasts.
