Going through the copyedit of Monsters of Ohio and I am once again reminded how much value a truly excellent copy editor offers, particularly in saving sloppy writers like me from ourselves.

Just got my copyedit for When the Moon Hits Your Eye, and once again
@deannahoak.bsky.social
has done a terrific job saving me from myself and my apparent tendency to give multiple entirely unrelated characters the same last name. I 100% recommend her for all your copyediting needs.

Bidenâs newly released Executive Order on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence seems very promising and necessary for counteracting some of the negative effects of AI. I recommend you take a look.

If you have friends in Acapulco right now, please be aware that the strongest hurricane on record to make landfall in Mexico struck there about five hours ago, after intensifying from a tropical storm to a Cat 5 in less than 24 hours. I have a good friend there and hope to hear from her soon.

If anyone who has (or loves someone who has) hEDS can stand to be enraged, they should read this post on the Medicine subreddit for healthcare providers. Not one nurse or doctor commenting seems to believe hEDS is real, especially when presenting with comorbidities.

I harvested so many honey mushrooms today! They mature so quickly. They would have been better if Iâd gotten to them yesterday or the day before, and theyâll be too far gone by tomorrow. But these are fine. Iâll be putting them in the dehydrator when my Entoloma abortivum are done.
