The Mastodon #sffbookclub crowd-fund is again operational on @Liberapay at https://liberapay.com/Mastodon_SFFBookClub/receiving/

When Liberapay had problems last month, I withdrew the balance to date. I have just set what I withdrew (less the processing fee) to go back into the fund over the next month, at which time I will resume my own regular contribution.

As always, PM me if you need help affording the club selection or want more information about contributing.

Thank you!

#Introduction #intro

I'm Naga. A statistical consultant by training and trade, but more here for general social interaction, especially geeky, sometimes sexy/kinky, and occasionally left-wing political. Oh, and new-dad stuff. Dragonlet is my toddler, Jalan is my wife.

Streaming the season finale of #TheSinner on #USANetwork (it ran last night).

Just got an ad for the show.

Yay for the Algorithm.

Please, for the love of whatever you hold dear, don't use idiosyncratic abbreviations in CWs.

Thank you.

After Kill the Queen, Protect the Prince, and #CrushTheKing , I predict #JenniferEstep 's next Seven Spires book will be, "Give the Banker a Stern Talking-To."

(Honestly, this is a fun series)

Looks like our city is going to get a stay-at-home this week. The sheriff has suspended evictions. Sheriff of the neighboring county has also suspended applications for handgun permits.

Tempers are going to be running hot. Good for them.

Me, sharing a recipe with Jalan: It doesn't need the beef. The pound of sausage is plenty of meat.

Me, a moment later: That sounded lewd.

I've written to my cardiologist with the latest home BP readings and asked about next steps.

Ooh, #NKJemisin 's The City We Became came out today! Library ebook hold placed.

A fifth typically lasts me a year or so, so I'm happy to pay for the good stuff.

And at that, *very* good bourbon is still a lot cheaper than good scotch.

Got my birthday present early, in case the liquor stores aren't available in a few weeks (though I suspect they will be).

A fifth of #FourRoses Small Batch.

Liquor store was moderately busy, but shelves were well stocked. I think they're imposing quantity limits.

Well, turns out my blood pressure has shot up over the course of the last 6-8 months. One of the risk factors for severity of Covid-19. Also, heart disease,.

Yay.

I'm in the age bracket that still has a low mortality rate but a 20% hospitalization rate in the US.
