STARSHIPWRIGHT ONE BOOK - Last Chance.
If you've ever wanted a physical copy of Starshipwright One, you've got until May 15 to buy one from my store: https://starshipwright.com/en/books/380-49-starshipwright-one-softcover.html
I have many boxes of them just taking up space in a garage that I need to clear out and stop renting ASAP, so this is it. On May 16 any softcovers left are going in the recycling bin.
Sadly, cannot ship to UK and random other countries, so please check carefully if you're ordering from outside the US.
So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I-I, had a feeling that I belonged
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
Fast Car

If you know someone who has recently lost a family member, friend, or loved one (pets included), reach out to that person TODAY and tell them theyβre on your mind. Offer to hang out, no agenda. Buy them coffee, sit with them, listen. Go fishing, sit with them, listen. Go to the museum, sit with them, listen. Spend time with them. Listen. Whatever works for them, but let them know they have support.
Study finds fewer US pregnancies in 2015 than in 2009 which led to fewer abortions. One reason is the availability of birth control, with the Affordable Care Act requiring it to be free.

How many times have we been told that if we don't have an athletic body then we don't have a beautiful body? Let's stop feeding those lies. I won't have the athletic body, but I do have the freedom to be happy with the body I have and enjoy it.

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.
