I feel for you. I used to work out every morning when I got up, but I developed fibromyalgia, and now I’m lucky when I can make it down the stairs. I miss it, I want to do it, but it’s so painful.

I don’t want to be a big downer about your hard-won success, but please keep in mind that life-long workout is not always sustainable. You could be injured. You could develop arthritis. You could have a long life crisis that prevents you from working out for an extended period. I just want to urge you to be nice to…

For the puzzled...

I wonder what HOP’s reaction is to the Jump Around tradition at UW Madison?

What is Trump’s stand on the hats on cats issue?

W00t! Carol Emshwiller! She’s awesome!

‘Slow Glass’ is one of the most memorable sf short stories I have ever read!

I always go through the Tiptree long list to find reading recommendations. I wish more SF/F awards were juried and had long lists. Not that my “to read” list is lacking in any way! Not complaining. Nope.

That story was just stunning. So well structured. Such compelling characters. Wow.

The study says “Experimental participants read ‘email responses’ to an ad for a housemate...”. In other words, emails that they are specifically using to judge the other person as a possible living companion. That’s not the same as a work situation or a general social media situation.

I’ve been under his spell for years. I’d listen to him read a phone book.

Every time a law like this gets passed, I give more money to the ACLU.

Jonathan Coulton wrote a heart-wrenching ballad about Laika called “Space Doggity.” It is SO sad. Lyrics here: http://www.jonathancoulton.com/wiki/Space_Dog…

Doesn’t it sound like a canned response against anyone who might EVER say anything bad about Trump (do they have video, did it happen, etc) and then somebody said, dude, you know she WORKS FOR US, right??
