@frauwise.bsky.socialOh, and also the cooked roadkill story.
@frauwise.bsky.socialAnd thank you, #AndrewMcCarthy, for the story of being spooked by potential ghosts in the old-timey hotel in Eureka, NV, and leaving in a hurry.
I have greatly enjoyed this book.
@frauwise.bsky.socialThis weekend, am also reading Andrew McCarthy's WHO NEEDS FRIENDS.
He is an engaging writer.
The topic is also both interesting and rather sad: male friendship. As in, problematic and lack of in a large number of cases.
It makes me thankful for my friendships.
@frauwise.bsky.socialThis weekend, I am reading TRACE ELEMENTS, a wonderful collection of essays by Jo Walton and Ada Palmer.
One wonderful find: Jo Walton writing about reading Georgette Heyer. IYKYK.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.socialReposted by @frauwise.bsky.socialHow do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.
