Genius. Also, Beavertails are freaking awesome.

"A masterful demonstration of storytelling. Mason's vivid writing style beautifully reinforces profound story arcs. I could easily visualize the layers of Bernhardt's and Joseph's lives. I felt their anxieties, losses, and tribulations." Makeda Cummings / Readers' Favorite #historicalfiction

Venezuelan fishermen need not apply.

For those not quite up to speed on such things, when the Fascist shit hit the Antifa fan in 1945, a whole lot of brave Nazis flew the coop to… Argentina, paying their way with money they'd looted while in power.

One of these energy production systems is a cancer-causing eyesore that smells like death. #roadtrip #wyoming #montana

Every kid knows that if you're going to lie, you don't simultaneously provide evidence that proves you're full of crap. Also, it's Colombia, dipshits.

Cinematic. #wyoming

"In this slick piece of writing and even slicker plot, Alison Wiley gets pulled into a 74-year-old mystery that begins beneath the surface of a Norwegian glacier. Mason masterfully connects the dots…" #historicalfiction booktrib.com/2020/12/15/1...

"…claims to show immigration agents responding to the "mess" in Chicago. An AFP investigation found that the video is littered with footage highlighting drug busts, arrests and deportation raids in FL, TX, SC and NE." Lies are all they've got. factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

No doubt there will be unwanted instigators trying to stir things up. Don't fall for that shit.

Insurance rates up $2000. Food benefits cut off. Farmers unable to sell their crops. Skyrocketing national debt. $40 billion to Argentina. America First!

Worked really well for Hitler.

“The science [of greenhouse gases] is simple – this idea of a ‘con job’ is just wrong. Solar beats fossil on electricity. Texas will be investing in solar and wind because it’s cheaper. It’s much better to invest in the technologies of the 21st century rather than those of the 19th…” No brainer.

Thankful.

"The characters are so well-developed, I felt as if I were reading a diary about this incredible untold story in history… about two enemies, pilots from opposite sides, coming together in the most unexpected way that might change history. At least it changes the history for one little girl."

"Quietly powerful… a serious but accessible novel that earns its moments of hope. Asks hard questions about nationality, belonging, and the arbitrary nature of borders without offering easy answers. A thoughtful, moving book. Keep tissues handy for the final chapters." BookShelfie #histfic​

Most of the stuff I created over 40+yrs in design was for others, my contributions known only to a few. Seeing a product bearing my name on a store shelf is still weirdly anonymous, since it's >99.9% that no one there has a clue who I am. At the same time it's more…personal. #Turnandfacethestrange

"Shelby was handed samples of century-old soil from Toronto’s waterfront. She peered through a microscope in astonishment as a brown wormlike creature munched through green clumps of algae as if more than 130 years hadn’t passed since its last meal." Blurb for an ecological apocalypse novel.
