@daneatscatfood 2. I'm digging the crow familiar. Crows are smart and eyes in the sky are valuable.

Testing a theory. Put your answer below, if you please. If you are in a D&D party, given a chance to only choose one to add, which NPC are you picking up? 1. Sir Afton Penwright, a paladin with a big sword 2. Oleander McOwen, a druid witch with a crow familiar 3. Frugg, a goblin with a bowl cut

This. Don't choose ignorance.

Many of them didn't. Your great-great-grandmother was probably drinking opium for her nerves, sold at the corner shop as cheap as a pint of beer. It was called laudanum, a mix of opium and alcohol that doctors handed out for anxiety, sleeplessness, and "women's troubles." Mothers fed it to crying babies. The babies often stopped crying because they stopped breathing. The men drank. By 1830 the average American was putting away almost two bottles of liquor a week. Whiskey cost less than coffee or milk. People started their day with a shot and ended it with another. Toddlers drank from their parents' rum mugs. ADHD has a long paper trail. A Scottish doctor described kids who couldn't focus in 1798. By 1846 there was a popular German children's book about a boy called Fidgety Philipp who couldn't sit still. In 1902, a London children's doctor named George Still wrote a famous paper on the same kids and called it a "defect of moral control." Same kid, three different centuries. Depression and anxiety had old names too. Melancholia, hysteria, the vapors. Treatments included bloodletting, ice baths, and chaining people to a wall. By 1937, American mental hospitals held 451,672 patients and took up more than half of every hospital bed in the country. Inside the walls, about 1 in 10 patients died each year. Then came the lobotomy. Between 1949 and 1952, around 50,000 Americans were strapped to a chair while a doctor hammered an ice pick through the thin bone above their eye and wiggled it around inside their brain. It took about ten minutes. Sixty percent of the patients were women. About 1 in 20 died from the procedure. Many of the ones who lived came out with no personality left. The man who invented the procedure won a Nobel Prize. Britain's male suicide rate hit 30.3 per 100,000 in 1905. The lowest rates ever recorded in British history are happening right now. Plenty of our ancestors didn't make it. They drank themselves dead. They overdosed on shop-bought opium. They got locked in asylums and never came out. They had picks driven through their eye sockets. They killed themselves in numbers we don't see today. The conditions were always there. The treatments just used to be worse than the disease.

Here's what's wrong with Daredevil: he spends more energy stopping Bullseye from killing Fisk than he does stopping Fisk. Both are, arguably, worthwhile goals. But only one makes the world better for regular folk. DD chooses his conscience over the welfare of innocents.

As a perpetual pessimist (realist?) in the guise of an optimist, I am so very surprised and flattered. Thank you Jonathan. V&V is a semi-finalist in SPFBOXI 💪🥂⚔️

Until 7 days ago, the #SPFBOXI competition was not on my rader, Now, five books later, and some deliberation, I've made my semifinalist pick for @sffinsiders... "Violence and Vigilance" by @DavidTList. My full reasoning for everything will be linked down below.

@thebookwyrmjon @sffinsiders I sure do appreciate your nomination and your time and all the reading. I patiently waited for my wife to get home from work and we read your post together. I've been anticipating V&V being cut since January. Thank you for the beyond-pleasant surprise. Never feed the birds 🙏

To prep for our chat with Justin Lee Anderson this eve I uploaded V&V on his new site - Bookmatch. I think her page looks great. Will reviewers choose her? Will she gain reviews? Time will tell. The low entry price was worth the risk. @TomBookbeard @DB_Rook @CharlieCavendi4

@SnapeNick @boycereads You can tell a corporation is too bloated and mismanaged when constant, avoidable loss is acceptable and normal. I have to assume the majority don't bother to return their sh!t copies. We all should!

Amazon loves to ship books with the least amount of protection as possible, so they ensure that your “new” book is beat to hell when you get it. They absolutely love it.

@SnapeNick @boycereads That is horrendous. I have been taking the effort of returning every single copy I'd ashamed to sell, which means I have to buy a significant percentage more books than I actually need.

@boycereads When you order copies for sale-dare I say it-it can be worse. Today’s delivery was in a split open box with 70% damaged. It beggars belief.

My next 17 weeks are going to be chaos, largely due to the kayak businesses we own and/or manage. Writing will be minimal. Beardcast will do shows without me. My band has a show with a sit-in (shorter) bassist. But this, as everything, is a phase. Enjoy some pics.
