If you haven’t read this already … today might be the perfect day.
Started reading: Infomocracy
I just finished reading the first two books in Malka Ann Older’s “The Investigations of Mossa and Pleiti” series. I couldn’t wait for the third one to be published … so picked up her first (and perhaps best known) book.
Diana quoted A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers(Wayfarers, #2)
"Was she capable of that kind of flow? If she could disable her ability to track time, could she lose herself the way they did?"
— Becky Chambers: A Closed and Common Orbit, p. 61
Review of A Closed and Common Orbit
I fell in love with the characters in Becky Chambers' first book of the Wayward series. When I realized the second book didn't include (most of) them, I almost stopped reading.
Thank goodness I didn't. I fell in love with these characters too. Which made picking up the next book even easier.
Chambers writes intelligent, insightful stories that are so smooth, I flow through them like talking with a good friend.

This is what I'd want everyone to know ... in 10 minutes!
I pasted this link into family chat. Then realized ... my grandbaby is going to be born into the geekiest family.
I am the luckiest O'Reilly author. @teapot418, the talented artist and software professional, created a Sketchnote for each chapter of Learning Systems Thinking.
Lisa's work is magic. In a single artifact, she weaves concepts together to form meaning. Simultaneously, she makes us feel entertained.
I hope to see more of Lisa' work published. More importantly, I hope to see more Sketchnotes used to describe technology systems. Lisa can teach us how to make our work more impactful.

Diana finished reading The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers(Wayfarers, #1)
I have been on a Becky Chambers journey. I'm experiencing stress from deadlines, travels, etc ... not bad stress, but I do need a space to rest. Becky Chambers is my book friend, keeping me excellent company.

Hilary Clinton -- after experiencing an unimaginable public humiliation, got up on stage last night and lifted another woman up into the job she wanted. Lifted up the country that put the other guy in office.
That's what grown ups do.
Catching up on last night's speeches. Feeling proud to be an American woman -- it's become female leadership vs ... that guy.
