I’ve made my Conceptual Synthesis Spreadsheet Notion template available via Gumroad. It’s pay-what-you-can/want. This spreadsheet is based on Raul Pacheco-Vega’s Article-Introduction-Conclusion/Conceptual Synthesis Excel Dump method.
Thanks to a generous person I met in the Mermaids of NC group on Facebook, I am now Dr. Mer-Mom. Apparently having a mermaid tail makes me extra huggable.
Build networks & ask for what you need & give what you can. Swimming in a mermaid tail is a hobby with a community. I’ve wanted to get into it for years. I asked my local mermaid group (aka pod) on Fb if anybody had an old tail that would fit me. Someone is GIVING me one. 🧜♀️💗
I got a Rakuten Libra H2O and I am so excited about its OverDrive integration. So many public library books at my fingertips on a screen that’s not backlit and that I don’t have to sideload via Adobe Digital Editions!
Finished reading: Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo 📚
📚💬 “We learn to wring magic from the ordinary… When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.” Crooked Kingdom, Leigh Bardugo, p. 460
Want to read: The Lightmaker’s Manifesto: How to Work for Change Without Losing Your Joy by Karen Walrond 📚

Kaz Brekker is the best.

Why do we have obligations besides reading books?
📚💬 I’ve heard a lot about the excellent disability representation in the Six of Crows duology. Obviously Kaz is phenomenal; Wylan is awesome, too. This quote is what Wylan thinks about how Kaz and the Dregs treat him. It’s pure asset-based treatment and I love it. “They valued the things he could do instead of punishing him for the things he couldn’t.”
📚 In Crooked Kingdom, Inej thinks about her hope that she and Kaz could be “more than two wary creatures united by their distrust of the world” and I’m wondering how does @LBardugo know about my marriage? 💬
