After many years on Twitter I'm here because I need two places to message into the void.

Someone needs to explain to me why #Amazon can publish all those A.I. generated ebooks and I can't get my #sciencefiction BDSM romance published because it's too "edgy".

Honestly, I'm looking forward to seeing Rebel Moon. I just want something that's exciting that I'll enjoy watching more than I did that last atrocity of a Star Wars film. It's not too much to ask.

@ColoradoAuthors I like the cover art. Very old-school.

@KiffinEileen We took in an elder cat of a woman we didn't even know who was going into assisted living. We only had him a couple of years before he passed but he was such a terrific cat. I think he remember losing his previous owner and would spend his time guarding us. He also liked to get under the covers and nestle against me at night. It's been almost four years since he passed and I continue to feel heartbroken over that loss.

@markdevries At least Goodreads entertains me with terribly written reviews.

When I want to read a sizeable #sciencefiction series all I want is a list of the damned novels in publication order. That's it. I don't want charts and graphs with elbowed in novellas and shorts stories I'll never find. I don't want byzantine lists of internal chronology orders. I just want the damned novels in the damned order they were published.

@shoq Too many people want plug-n-play for everything. I mean, a toaster should be simple because all I need is toasted bread. I don't need it customized. However, my phone or browser or social media I want the way I want it. If it doesn't work for me, I don't want to use it.

@GottaLaff Any vaccine they're willing to give me I'll take. Give them all.

I'm at the final episode of Season 2 of #StarTrek Discovery and I have yet to understand what it is that people don't like about this program. I'm often at the edge of my seat. It's got emotional moments. It's got wow moments. Good cliffhangers. Is it centered around Michael Burnham? Yes. Do I care? If it makes me want to watch the next episode then the answer is that's all I care about. So far terrific show for this fan since TOS.

@nytimes So it has nothing to do with politics - just a bunch of toxic men who enjoy being violent.
