Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.
Folks, I've lost a quote It goes something like this: if you don't have to make a decision, don't. Or put off the decision until you have to make it. I've seen it referenced online without attribution. I think it was a judge or senator who came up with it. I'm drawing a blank. Any ideas?

I feel like I should tag @authorwhmitchell.bsky.social regarding the above. I can't say I got a blue Oni tattoo *because* of reading Ashetown Blues, but I did happen to read it earlier this year and it's a nice coincidence. Where can I get a psionic upgrade?
