Today’s installment of the comic strip Pearls Before Swine needs no editorial gloss from me.

“There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.” --W. Somerset Maugham https://twitter.com/nadiabulkin/status/1365010996188901385
People who have written novels: what's your best advice for writing a novel? Please share! ⤵️

NOMADLAND is a grim reminder of Gibson's aphorism that "the future is already here--it's just not evenly distributed." I once naively thought that meant the shiny, cool future of tech would trickle down--now I realize it also refers to post-apocalyptic futures that seep up.
Sorry, you lose the right to complain about partisanship once you've fanned the flames of violent insurrection. https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1364628986769399818
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) goes off on Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) during USPS oversight hearing:
“I didn’t vote to overturn an election. And I will not be lectured by people who did about partisanship.”
People are really trying to dissect what is a "cage," what is a "facility," what is a "shelter," when the bigger issue we should be dissecting is very simple: why have we as a country been criminalizing migration from the Global South since the 1990s and even before that?

Hi hoe! Hi hoe! The blogger’s life for me!
I heart Pearls. It’s Julie’s favorite comic strip and becoming mine, too. Yeah!

Great comic 😉
I always write entries in my LJ with the intention that I’m talking to myself, comments are an unexpected bonus (with the occasional exception of requests for informational assistance on various arcane topics).
That said — sometimes there aren’t any comments because your readers don’t have anything useful to add in response . . . hard to say.

Well thanks for stopping in—I have absolutely NO room to complain about the cricket chirping in my blog, invisible as I’ve been online lately. Nice to see your face again.
