There will come a day when strangers don't lecture me for not having children. Today was not that day. 🙃

@MLClark On an emotional level, I don't understand why people do this and it makes me sad. On a sociological level, I understand why people do this and it makes me even sadder.

@JakeA

Agreed. Who said knowledge was power? 🙃 Did... did they ever have to *live* with knowledge?

@MLClark Knowledge is the power to know that ignorance is bliss?

@JakeA Hot dog yes, that is just about perfect. :)

How are you, Jake? Getting a good work/life/writing/shouting-into-the-void balance in these days?

@MLClark Oh, things are going! I'm getting close to finishing a story that's been close to my heart for a while, definitely in spite of my work schedule. (Though at this point I mainly have Zelda to blame!)

Also reading this pretty cool book about, like, a starship AI??? I'm absolutely loving it, by the way. 😊

@JakeA

I saw your post on Twitter! That was super kind of you, thank you. 🤗 I think you're in the reader group that hasn't read TBK, right? Or maybe you have! @Apocryphiliac has, and another person I know currently reading CoD has been delighted to recognize references, but if you're in the other group, then I'm even more thrilled to know that the dialogue *works* and is so engaging for you too. 🤗 Thank you so much for supporting the piece!

@MLClark @Apocryphiliac Yeah I haven't read it yet, but you've certainly put it on my to-read list. I can sense the references and it has me eager to reread. Happy to report that I'm loving the Trek references.
