I have been reading fantasy recently. I like the shifter story ideas.

However, I'd rather read one where the adults are not romancing. Sorry, that's not my age range.

🧵1️⃣/2️⃣ The Internet Archive helped solve a 100-year-old conservation mystery.

Researchers discovered why some bowhead whale populations are recovering today from centuries of commercial whaling by using centuries-old Arctic whaling logbooks digitized by the New Bedford Whaling Museum and made accessible through the Internet Archive.

These logbooks remind us that preserved records don’t just document history: they unlock it for use today & tomorrow. 🔓

2/3 Mechner recounts discovering that even major archives can vanish, forcing creators to rely on enthusiasts and chance discoveries to recover lost history.

When “historical oblivion is the default, not the exception,” what survives is often what individuals decide to save, not what institutions guarantee.

3/3 Today, games, magazines, and digital works can disappear overnight, taking decades of creative history with them.

Mechner argues that archivists, libraries, and preservation networks are essential to keeping cultural memory alive.

I was looking at a market's submission guidelines.

It requested Garamond font.

Except. For some reason this newer computer does not have Garamond font.

I know the old one did.

“Summer” by Gail Brown

Burning heat,
So intense,
It fries the meat,
Hanging on the fence.

Scorching sun,
Fiery furnace flames,
Bake the land to done,
Life struggles on the plains.

Rains withheld,
Hot and dry,
Animals become scaled,
Dreaming of relief, from the sky.

Clear sky,
Open land,
No place to hide,
Life burrows in the sand.

Author friends - In 12 hours, it'll be June.

In the last few days, I have received several newsletters that begin with, "April feels like a turning point."

Errors happen.

However, these are clearly the same emails sent two months ago.

If I received them in April, once, I don't need them again.

Even received a mothers day special newsletter last week. At least that one is in the same month.

Someone must have told my client to eliminate "that" from her manuscript because she has diligently removed all instances.

It's true that "that" is often overused, but it does have a place in our language.
