"Down and down, gone again."
Sunny again today, but chilly. Our high was only 48˚F. But just having the sun buoys my mood.
Another much more productive day. I talked with Geralyn at SubPress about the signature sheets for the new edition of From Weird and Distant Shores, and spoek with Bill Schafer about other SubPress business. I had another productive conversation this morning with Jun Ebersole (McWane) about Eutaw Fm./Mooreville Chalk stratigraphy. I exchanged email with Sandy Ebersole at the Alabama State Geological Survey on the same subject; she and I are about to begin collaborating on a project concerning Mooreville stratigraphy. I emailed the Peabody Museum at Yale. I thought VERY hard about fiction. And...well..a bunch more stuff. Listing it all seems sorta silly. But hopefully there will be more to list tomorrow.
A couple of links:
"To Breed or Not To Breed" ("Among childless adults in the United States surveyed by Morning Consult last year, one in four cited climate change as a factor in why they do not currently have children." And as I said on Facebook, this is the reason Spooky and I both regularly have given over the past 20 years for being glad we never had kids. And now there's this fascism thing. It is simply best not to bring more children into this world (get pissed at me if you want). (NYT)

"Indiana Republican Backtracks After Saying Teachers Should Be 'Impartial' When Teaching About Nazism, Fascism." (No, really. Because you know, Nazisim is so inherently neutral; The Hill)
