Also bleps and mlems just 'cause.
I'm putting this here now to hopefully remind me later to post some thoughts on how authors can make readers think without preaching at them [all from my itty-bitty POV, of course; your mileage may vary].

Thank you, @rowanauthor.bsky.social, for finding this delightful treat. It simply could not be more perfect. I don't think I could afford it just this moment, but I would dearly love to find out how much a print of this would be for when I move and I'm looking to decorate a new apartment.
Ack! I hate this! I haven't found a really good blogging platform similar to what Wordpress used to be, but I did post my review on Substack, which...um...worked? I dunno if it would serve your purposes but it's at least user-friendly...ish?

One reason I very rarely--if ever--share social or political opinions on Twitter is because of the limited character count. I don't want someone isolating a tweet out of context and using it to draw attention to me for saying something I did not intend. I don't have the time or patience for that.
