And of course it was supposed to be "worth 1k." My professional proofing skills are gone with the wind. I have no expectation those skills will return.

I'm just no longer going to like pics with multiple hashtags and no alt txt. Please get a clue...
A picture is with 1k words. So where did the tradition of adding 20 unreadable hashtags come from? Esp. with no alt text?
(I'm not saying I hate it. But I dislike it immensely.)
Some of you might be able to help with this.
A survey on Reading Chinese Wuxia (Martial Arts) Fiction in English:

I imagine those basics also. I'm interested in the creative evolution among players. It wasn't paint by numbers.
Oh wait. I don't understand Chinese.
I'd trade anything for audiotapes of the designer, photog, and yb from sessions in this era. I want to know what happened in the whole creative mix.
Yes! But how does it not pull the lapel and jacket front out of line? And does it detach easily to be used as a weapon when night hunting? So many questions!
I was on FB (rarely; always for family reasons) and encountered a video of yibo (since that's all FB feeds me) that was deeply, obviously AI. It purported to show YB cooking an omelet with chopped tomatoes. I imagine this as his expression if he saw that vid.
Everyone needs personal goals
“The presumption created by the surrounding evidence is that this war could very well be about (1) subverting US democracy, (2) enriching the president, or both. These presumptions, while not proof, provide solid lines of inquiry as we learn more about the war.”

The real story is that foreign govts try to "interfere" all the time. In 2020 and 2024 we had mechanisms to catch them, call them out, & mitigate damage. Now, those mechanims are gone & the Trump admin would prefer to exploit "foreign interference" to justify a federal take-over of elections.
I include "fixing widows and orphans with text changes" into what "done" means. But I'm my own compositor.
That one year when he transitioned from uniq naif to ... this -- I want that story. A lot.
Beheading the standup cutouts... And filming it.
Ms. Harris clearly depicts interiority: "I came here to act and this is who you paired me with?"
So thankful!
Yes, you do! Also, it will fix any need you have to laugh more.
Cover art of The Verifiers and The Rivals by Jane Pek, Books 1 & 2 of the Claudia Lin mystery series.
Compulsively read The Verifiers and The Rivals over the past 3 days, leaving me with 15 minutes of not knowing what next to do with my life, then flooded with a burning desire to write. Jane Pek is my new secret crush.
Song Yi was good/hilarious in Follow Your Heart, which role was a kindness after Luoyang gave her nothing to do.
Yep, every time
Since we are losing review space left, right and centre, and Goodreads is making that worse, I'm now going to be doing regular romance review roundups on my blog. Get recs here! Share your own!

I also learned that another of my famous bosses never returned JE's calls, which makes total sense because Paul Allen was caution incarnate.
I read the news today. Hooo boy. I learned that I have sat in a room with (& had my work life negatively affected by) a man who met his mistress through Jeffrey Epstein. (And I likely can't read this post coz E is a muted word )
His natural smile is so incandescent.
This expression summarizes last year's music videos. imo
Such a great start to the week. Thank you!
I wrote a romance* centered on an alt[dot]country idol despairing over fans' usenet discussions about which way he tucked. Here I am, 1.5 decades later, soberly engaged in a discussion over why xz's clothes don't fit. What happened that got me here?**

Pure unadulterated pandering
btw, #thejudgereturns gets sorted in the "revenge drama' pile, but it's not a revenge story. It's redemption/justice restored. And fear not, (reverse spoiler) the time-travel trope doesn't crash and destroy the story at the end.
