I am not first and will be far from the last to say this: I have purchased so many books because I saw them recommended or publicized here on bsky. I cannot urge you all enough to KEEP TALKING ABOUT BOOKS. I know it's easier to talk up someone else's book, but this also means you, the shy author.

I have mentioned it before, so maybe, but I know others liked it too. Hooray for word of "mouth" (or post) for getting it seen.

Absolutely love this video of two 50 y-o women attempting every Winter Olympic sport (and laughing throughout). This is the #Joy we need to cultivate in our lives. youtu.be/LtwjMsJoOZc?...

My rough estimate is that I would die attempting 25% of Olympic events, injure myself attempting another 25%, be completely unable to even simulate participation in another 25%, and 25% could do approximately two orders of magnitude slower than the athletes.
