Just having a conversation about banned books. I have mixed feelings about Flannery OConnor. Mostly negative. I appreciate her story craft, but yikes. Racist TBH, even for that time. And then i have to put βeven for that timeβ in there. I mean β¦ But I *wouldnβt ban her books. Iβm glad I got to read her stories and form my own opinion. #books

@jordanlafordan @punkonbus1701 I'm guessing HBO Max and DirecTV have some kind of exclusivity deal.
@ScottSoCal @lolgop This isn't the own you think it is because everyone can snap off a state before you even finish the question.

@ScottSoCal I'm sure that Socialist grannies are a tiny percentage of grannies overall--especially in Utah.
Uh oh, now both Fishy and Ruby are demanding that I get more Patreon subscribers so I can write more facts and buy them more treats.
I tried to explain to them that they're looking a little round and maybe they don't need more treats.
They told me to shut up. They told me I don't know anything. They called me a big bozo and told me to get back to work. My own cats said these words straight to my face.

I just stumbled upon this definition of Left Wing at the Urban Dictionary. It is quite accurate.
A nonexistent political spectrum on the North American continent due to monstrous shifting to the right...
"In this country, assuming a centrist position makes you right wing. A true left wing extremist is something you've never seen, and wouldn't know if one snuck up and smacked you on the back of the skull with a picket sign."
For the first time, THE SHADOW GALAXY has outpaced HELIOPAUSE in sales in its preorder phase. That's really cool. Thank you to everyone who has preordered the book!! Preorders are so important. I have some links here if you want choices: https://jdiannedotson.com/shadow-galaxy
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
