Just sent out “Rising Resistance" to beta readers! So glad to have revisions off my plate. It's always the slowest part of writing for me. I don't dislike it, I add a ton of material, but it's a slog.
If you're a fan of Space Opera and rompy scifi, I'm always looking for Beta and ARC readers.

Science Fiction Beta Readers
I'm working on splitting and identifying my Beta vs. ARC readers. Since they're not the same and some folks only want to do one or the other. This is for beta readers! If you want to be a beta reader, put your email here.Google Docs

Another lovely walk…another day playing with thunderstorms! A 15 km walk from Rennes-le-Chateau to Espéraza (where there’s a quirky market on a Sunday - great stop for lunch and gift shopping). ‘Weather’ was forecast for late pm but storm clouds rolled in just after lunch so we hoofed it back to Rennes. Some big fat raindrops, thunder rumbling and lightening flashing on the next hill over. But as we reached Rennes the sun came back out again and we enjoyed a beer on a sunny terrace.
Also saw one of the prettiest orchids…the burnt tip orchid.
I must look up the name of the blue flowers in the background. They grow everywhere here and are just the perfect shade of blue.

"The school had actually closed the library early at noon. So people broke in. One door got smashed, and the demonstrators flooded in, bringing their supplies, and methodically moving up the floors to secure the building. The campus police brought a final show of force, two cop cars. They were chased off within 15 seconds."

Well y'all, this past week I have seen my first #cybertruck in the wild. And this morning I saw my second cybertruck in the wild.
Swell.
They look just as boxy, ugly, out-of-place, and pretentious in person as they do in pictures.
First in #OklahomaCity, second in #EdmondOK, which is separated from #OKC by one street. So there *is* the chance it was the same vehicle. I sincerely hope so. It just pains me to think that there might be two such complete, unadulterated fools in this area.

A few years ago, my kid wanted to be a scientist. And then he wanted to be a coder like Mummy. So proud.
Anyhoo now he wants to be a YouTuber so he "can play games and make money with ads".
Ooookay.
Surprised it took this long.
His shirtless photo all but reveals severe hepatomegaly from decades of ketamine abuse.
If someone told me he had sclerosing cholangitis, I'd believe it.

I read some time ago that if a white man tries to buy your land you know your land is worth more than his money.

in reply to Adam F. Lawton • • •I told someone once that a surefire way to defeat capitalism in our lifetime is to devalue money itself because that's the stand in white supremacy that has always been used to bridge the skill gap it has always had.
I might as well have been speaking Greek.
Many people simply cannot imagine anything outside of capitalism. Even so-called progressives.

in reply to Marcus "MajorLinux" Summers • • •Many people are willing to trade their freedom and autonomy for the limited luxury that comes with being a tool for capitalism.
We vastly outnumber the people, making the world worse.
But people believe if they let themselves be exploited enough, they can be part of the wealthy class.
And it's never worked like that.
Adam F. Lawton
in reply to Secret Right Wing Cult Leader • • •That's it right there.
"If I Iet the elites screw me long enough, they'll let me join their ranks." Which raises a whole other set of questions, honestly.
Marcus "MajorLinux" Summers
in reply to Adam F. Lawton • • •Yeah, this “pick me" attitude is just too much.
Even worse is those who believe they can get there solely on merit or through grind culture.
At a certain point, these people need to realize that the ruling class just don't want you and you'll never get even a fraction of what they have.
