Obligatory XKCD:

XKCD comic where two stick figures are discussing some math on a board.

"Numbers of the form n(sqrt-1) are 'imaginary,' but can still be used in equations."

"Okay"

"And e to the pi (sqrt -1) equals -1"

"Now you're just fucking with me."

Apparently "we voted" is a "disgusting insult"

Three skeets from fuelbot.bsky.social, reading in order:

"I just blocked 80+ people who've been sending me disgusting insults because I deigned not to call posts skeets. What a bunch of unstable fucking losers social media has turned everyone into." above a deleted skeet.

Then, in reply to a blocked post, "Walk into traffic"
Below that, also in reply to a blocked post, "Get a fucking life."

I am so sorry to see you go, but so happy for you to find your way through. Rest assured that your work-map of the North will always have pride of place!

I have it on good authority that Ernie thinks To Conquer Death is "a page turner!" And that's an endorsement that can't be beat! #booksky

Hey, check it out: a bunch of really cool, really awesome books, and also one with an Ankh on the cover that I think a lot of people should check out and buy from Women & Children First while they're at the Nebula Conference.

Many books on a table. In the center, a prominent stack of "To Conquer Death" by Richard H Moon, which has a crumbling obsidian Ankh symbol on its cover

My book is apparently rocking 4-Stars on Goodreads, which is a nice counterpart to the 5-star reviews it has on Readers' Favorite, Independent Book Review, and Chanticleer. It also just won a Second Place in The BookFest book awards for Fantasy, so it's got that going for it too!
