I've been in a bit of a reading slump these past few days due to you know... gestures around broadly so I am still on my books I was before. I am still enjoying the Percy Jackson book, it feels like a nice escape from everything.

For whatever it's worth, I've both noticed and appreciated your efforts lately.
And just what I've seen of it via posts and announcements has already been enough to sort of vicariously exhaust me, so I can only imagine...
I'm trying my best to be optimistic but tbh if no real change occurs or solutions are actually proposed soon, I might have to shutdown for my own well being here as well. I'm really hopeful it won't come to that. I am attempting to sign up with Cloudflare's CSAM image scanning service as well as looking into ways to disable photo uploads since this instance really isn't even image focused either. If worse comes to worse, we could migrate to firefish I guess. I'm quietly waiting but very impatiently. I'm just rattled emotionally over what happened. I appreciate the support from the community a lot.
A Fire Upon The Deep by Vernor Vinge
Kentucky by Panopticon
Finished John Dies at the End by David Wong. It was okay all in all - imaginative, but not very well-written.
Started Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. I've been working my way through Murakami in publishing order for the last few years, reading one every few months, and it's time for this one. I'm thoroughly enjoying it so far.
Started reading a cormac McCarthy book - All the pretty horses, will see how it goes as a previous one wasn’t quite too my taste
