Why is no one else laughing at my childhood story?

Why are you trying to hug me?

There is/was a lawyer in Vancouver that was a Sovcit. She was in the news a few years ago. Truly wild combination.

Permanently Banned for inciting violence.

I said the Trump government was going to put LGBT people in camps and this was a bad thing.

I enjoyed the light hearted narrator in a dark world aspect of Black Tongue Thief. And I would recommend it, if that is appealing.

I think I'd caution some people on Leiber. He's a good writer, and important in fantasy Canon. And I am enjoying him.

But he is writing during the 1950s to 80s, so there is some inherent misogyny. He tries to make powerful women characters, but it doesn't quite work. I think he was pushing boundaries in the 60s, but a modern reader with modern conceptions may not enjoy his work.

The Mosaic Effect is about the CCP setting up an underground and parallel state in Vancouver/Canada. So if that's your thing, yeah read it.

Zoolander, too, could only turn right.

I finished The Black Tongue Thief a few days ago so I've bounced around a few books. But I seem to have settled on Swords & Deviltry by Fritz Leiber and The Mosaic Effect by McGregor and Mitchell

I like Canada's version of Monarchy. The royals? Oh they are over there.

Oh you want to usurp executive powers? Al la Putin or Erdogan. Well that would require the executives signature. And you cant coerce them because, once again, they're over there.

I had a friend that used to bring all her first dates to the bar I tended. Just in case.
