The Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Florida, for instance, has its own aquaculture research department. Nicole Rhody, the program manager for that team, is impressed with what the aquarists in Chicago managed to do. Domino was the sole survivor among tens of thousands of eggs laid by its mother.

This will not change the recent bass-ackwards SCOTUS decision but helps to know another creature on this earth looks as pissed off as I feel about it.

Just heard an NPR reporter ask the simple question "who is on the back foot [in the Iran war] the U.S. or Iran?" and the gymnastics the interviewee performed to avoid saying "the U.S." were Olympicworthy

Urgh...
...okay books two and three are on their way (because there was an omnibus of the first three books available) but I *will* need to fit in a couple of light reads before tackling those sequels.

...

yikes

...well *that* was all kinds of awful. Excellently disturbing, but imma hold off on the rest of this series for a *while*. Possibly until several well-known folks have gotten the justice they deserve.

(Daemon has just gotten the offer to off Jaenelle from Greer, Jaenelle is learning from Saetan, and there's something rotten in the family Angelline)

Legit question: about when should I understand what's going on, what things are or are not, and/or where this story is headed? I'm about 2/3rds of the way through and...while I'm def intrigued by what I am picking up...it feels like I've skipped/missed some critical bits in this narrative.

A strip from Something Positive including Mike and his son (forgot the name, sorry, uncle Randy). The drawings is mainly of Mike packing up books, the main point here is the dialogue, which is as follows: Panel 1: Son: Orson Scott Card? JK Rowling? These are your favourite books, dad! Panel 2: Mike: They're pretty hateful towards gay and trans people and actively work to make their lives worse. I don't wanna support them anymore. Panel 3: Son: Can't you just separate the work from the author. Mike: Some people probably can and I sure tried. Son: What changed? Panel 4: Mike: I realised "separate the work from the author" is easy for me to say when I'm not one of the people they dehumanize.

Is this a good time to once again repost this Something Positive strip that Dear Uncle Randy made a few years back?

Answer: Unfortunately, it is. It shouldn't have to be, but it is.

I've tackled a *lot* of drop-you-in-the-deep-end books but I have to say this is the longest I've read w/o knowing exactly what is going on.

Taking medication now to counteract the side-effects of medication I took last night was not on my bingo card for today but here I am waiting for the acetaminophen to kick in.

I can work with non-linear world-drops. The C2 cock rings *might* be a deal-breaker depending on how often they're mentioned but for now the concept is intriguing.

Not familiar with the Donaldson article... must've missed when/where you mentioned it...but inside quotes seem more in line with thoughts at time of publication.

Question: Is Daughter of the Blood the starting point for the DJ series? Asking as I'm at 1/3/Hell and key bits seem to be missing...

For the record this is the back-cover blub that had me cringing, but then I checked the ©️ date. Could be wrong but I don't think 'romantasy' was a thing in 1998.

No lie, the word 'romantasy' in the description had my eyelid twitching but it's officially on my to-read pile now.

Fair number of folks on this app...myself included...were walking and talking when this happened.

Lynching is not a 'long time ago' crime.

Trump is dismantling democracy at 'unprecedented' speed, global report finds Three major new studies on democracy and freedom all find the U.S. is slipping further away from democracy. Leaders of two of those studies say President Trump's goal is to rule as an autocrat.

Ready to dip a toe in another of her works and would like to know what you'd recommend. I'm cool on darker, meh on romance, and willing to traverse rewarding rabbit holes.

Not our fault y'all prefer racism

The legacy media’s framing of #Sinners’s Oscars wins as supposed losses (especially when Marty Supreme and its 9 nominations but zero awards is *right there*) is wild… If y’all could stop being so dang racist for a minute, that would be really great. Thanks.

Oh, no.

Please share and give if you can...

Gonna post the below even though no one is paying attention:
