Oh, sweet! Perfect timing for me
I have A Study in Scarlet Women in my audiobook queue - I'm looking forward to getting to it. I read a couple of sample chapters and liked that much...
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Always Anti-fascist!
I found an interesting book because social distancing is boring. It's called "Skippy Dies" and takes place in an Irish prep school...came out in 2010 and I never knew about it...long but it's funny.

I've been reading The Wizard's Butler by Nathan Lowell and really enjoying it so far.

Our wings are not tired.
I wanna "like" so many posts and I can't! (It's fine! It always takes me a moment to adjust to forums vs. other forms of social media.)

Interesting twitter thread ( #publishingpaidme ) on the differences between advances received by whites with those received by blacks and people of color. Also a spreadsheet gathering more in-depth data at [link] . Discouraging, but not surprising, alas.

Started listening to A Study in Scarlet Women recently and got to Holmes and Watson meeting yesterday and I have to say that was brilliantly done. The playing with canon is pretty great in general.

I started listening to A Conspiracy in Belgravia yesterday and then I started reading The Angel of the Crows today, not realizing that was another alterna-Holmes story. I wonder if I can manage switching between them...
