The new version of “rocks fall. Everyone dies”? I’m here for it.
Presumably they want your response to be “oh no! How can I fix these terrible issues to make it the best book you can see in it, random internet person? Please help me save my book from being bad!” so they can sell you their, ah, editing services?

One day, several hundred years ago, a robin sang at exactly the wrong time, which set off a chain of events that inevitably led to your inability to halt growing up at a point of your choosing.
It’s the control scheme that got me most so far, but the old pc ports are SO bad. 😭 Same on Advent Children!
I’m still a newbie, really! I have two games finished. None of the others yet. 😭
Purple background, white text, which says Indian feminist science fiction grapples with female foeticide, caste erasure, honour killings, sex-ratio crises - concerns that emerge from refusing to separate gender from caste, class, environment, geography. "Indian Feminist Science Fiction: A History (Part 1)" -- Amritesh Mukherjee
In this first of two essays, Amritesh Mukherjee gives an overview of Indian feminist SF - starting in 1905, with _Sultana's Dream_, then jumping to the 1980s, and following several themes over the next three decades...

A noir-toned background image of a rainy city skyscape, birds flying with a backdrop of smeared neon lights, with a detective standing on a rooftop in long coat and hat with one arm raised. Right-justified text on the image reads "open call for novellas, opens: 4.01.26, closes: 4.30.26." The Ruadán Books logo is centered above the text.

Lucas arts games were so good, though. And hey FF12 was my entry into FF too. :D
Whatever is already in the printer filament Bree thinks would make cool dino patterns?
What about some glitter sparkly dinosaurs? (I realise that’s not actually a colour scheme, but I would absolutely buy sparkly dinos if I could afford them, so maybe others would too? They’re already so cute and pretty and just make you happy.)
Lady Hiss ran from me, though. I do feel a little bad for her because I didn’t mean to scare her by opening the door.
Furret Update: FURRET LET ME PET HER
Extremely briefly and she’s very unsure of pets, but she also didn’t HATE them and I thought this could take another week.
A very grainy picture of a small white-and-grey cat lying in the lowest box of a small cat tower.
A white cat snoozing on a wooden barrier.
These are Furret and Sir Hiss, if you’re curious. I’m so proud of Furret’s progress. I don’t think she knows what ‘safe’ is yet and she’s already daring to be visible. Sir Hiss wants all the attention forever from everyone. He has yet to learn my bedroom is offlimits.
Promo graphic for All That Glitters by S.L. Dove Cooper. A golden flamingo on a bright neon pink background. The texta round it reads "Aspec protagonist, talking animals (most notably: a flamingo), Glorious nonsense, Scifi spy spoof ish, Mad science (off screen), a lot of weird things and the kitchen sink (literally).
Anyway, if you've been thinking of preordering a ludicrous bit of glorious nonsense for your spring/summer reading, now when we've somewhat unexpectedly been joined by 1 large dog and THREE cats is the *perfect* time to preorder All That Glitters.
Preorder on Kobo here: www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/...
Sir Hiss has stopped hissing at me! Mostly. Occasionally when he startles himself when I'm nearby or when Furret startles at, idk, life.
I think they're settling in okay. I'm hopeful we'll be able to return Lady Hiss in a few weeks. I think that'd be good for everyone.
I normally don't do this but my family is in dire need of help! My stepfather passed away last week and we immediately need money to not only cover his funeral expenses but living expenses as well for 5 kids and both my mother and I are disabled.

Might be a combination. One of my cousins had to go to a dentist specialising in treating people with dental anxieties. I don't know if that's an actual specialisation option, but it's definitely a thing people specifically look for when choosing a dentist.
... I love your dentist already.
That's just devious. XD
