Tired

[elisi]

The parents have been visiting for the past week (it was my mother's 75th on Sunday), so I have barely looked at the internet for... days.


A few things/random links:

I realised that I never posted here about posting Chapters 4 and 5 of In the Sight of Angels (and Ghosts), mine and promethia_tenk's Good Omens/Dead Boy Detectives cross-over.

(There were only supposed to be 5 chapters, but we split the last chapter because it became unwieldy...)

Ta muchly.

Will be going up on Halfamoon, with updated blurb, on Friday as I decided the best fit was for this year's final Prompt.

It's so chilling what's happening across the waves. Especially how the GOP have just accepted Muck and his teenage hackers being allowed access to ransack systems.

Have you seen John Oliver's appearance on the Daily Show? So true, the country is bending to the wills of a monarchy.

It's crazy watching it all unfold... I wonder if people felt the same foreboding in the '30s.

Yes! Sad, but true.

Thanks for the petition link!

You're welcome!

I remember a time when I wasn't signing petitions all the time. :(
