Testing the waters of other social media besides the bird site. I am a book reviewer, blogger (yes, we are still out there), writer, reader and watcher of mainly SF and fantasy. Also something of a political junkie and a Democrat in a very red, MAGA-fied county in Arizona.

If I've blocked you, it's not because I'm afraid of debate; it's because you are the human equivalent of cat shit. I love my cats, but I also keep their litterboxes clean because I don't want the stink or the mess.

This is an interesting exploration of gods and worship, in the context of an epic fantasy where humans literally create their own gods.

This space opera with a sentient zombie fungus threatening humanity may sound retro and pulpy, but it's a damn good read.

This rocket ride of a space opera has an unusual, and welcome, depth of characterization.

This gender-flipped retelling of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of China's Ming Dynasty, and the sequel to She Who Became the Sun, is worth your time.

This is not the Imperial Radch trilogy (although it's in the same universe), but give it a chance. It's a quieter, more personal kind of story, and the characters grow on you.

"The people who persuaded me that Republicans are fascist are Republicans.

The people who persuaded me that the dominant spirit of my country is both conservative and supremacist are conservatives."
