I was going to write a little explainer on the Jesse Singal situation on Bluesky once I stopped procrastinating, but then he flounced on back to X, which he won't even call X. And no thanks to the devs. It was all the users, especially the trans users he was persecuting. Crisis solved, but not without damage to the platform.
One reason why I'm still here even if I neglect my account.
It's awful early for me to post on any social network and I haven't been updating my #Spanner #AmEditing here lately, but I have an update!
I've done the last edits on the first 3/4 of Spanner In The Works and started work on the last climactic stretch of the book. Chapter 42 is final and Chapter 38 is next.
I might actually have my first *complete* draft, 15 years in the making, this month.
#Spanner #AmEditing update: I did most of the work on Chapter 37 yesterday and started the final copyedit, which got interrupted by me, well, falling asleep. I'm finishing it now.
