Meh, I don’t think Florida indicates a general trend. It is THE poster child of climate change coming to roost in America. Makes sense that left leaning people would not go there or would flee given the chance. While the right wouldn’t care, and it’s their retirement utopia

I had a new coworker that I basically excoriated, though politely, for both sidesing . Not sure I got through but I tried

Please make it so

Ooh this sounds good

Greenwash party, amirite!?

Guess you just lack the necessary enduriance

Never expect them to act in good faith. They have already repeatedly trampled norms

As long as he loses I think it’s mostly good. He currently does not hold the levers of power, and I think as much as his supporters like to play the victim, I think a second loss will lead to evaporating support. Hard to pretend to be a strongman when you look weak

I bounced off of Children of Time hard, finished, but hated it by the end. I might not have been so harsh if the praise for it wasn’t so high, but it just didn’t seem to deserve it imo. I think the premise was interesting, and it had good parts (I did enjoy the spider parts, though less towards the end), but things kept happening that eroded my suspension of disbelief for the setup until it collapsed completely. Looking back at the start of the novel, a bunch of the world building and piece setting just seemed silly under scrutiny.

I was thinking it was a 3/5, but when reading reviews it was the more thoughtful 1/5 and 2/5 reviews that reflected my feelings

Not to yuck your yum, and I certainly seem to be in the minority based on good reads

I’m planning on doing this at some point but I am slightly intimidated by the length. I like to read a series through as a one shot and it’ll take around 6 months based on the audiobook length and my average rate. I think I might start it after I finish earthsea, but I might start a less hefty series instead

Just finished the telling, by le guin. With that I finish the novels in the hainish cycle. I’m not sure why but I never quite got into the flow with the telling, though I do think it was good. Usually when that happens to me it’ll only be a part of the book, but for this it was most of it. I ought to give it another go at some point . Probably just the influence of life’s going one on my mood and my adhd.

Next will be four ways to forgiveness and then I’ll start Earthsea

Candygram!
