ZEN: All energy banks recharged.
ORAC: Excellent. Excellent. There is now little point in further communications between us by audio channels. In future we will communicate by direct sensory link.
ZEN: Confirmed.

Yesterday's outdoor run. Today will be inside on the treadmill. Cooler temps, and I'm loving that. This run was windy and rainy, though, but I'm a glutton for punishment; I have not run at all for a few days.
I know I deserve a break after the half marathon, and I did in fact do that.
Some excellent fall colors are still hangin' on 🙀

The trouble with being Harvard is that your name is the most valuable thing you own. It’s bigger than anything the institution actually does.
Yes, there are some amazing and excellent people at Harvard — and some utter dingbats, as anywhere else — but whatever actual excellence Harvard offers in education or research is secondary. Harvard is a •brand• first and foremost. It’s a name people put on their resumes to make themselves worth more money in capitalism’s eyes.

Sim, sim, num país e numa região com falta de šgua crónica, que só tende a agravar-se no futuro, isto, com a monumental necessidade de šgua para refrigeração que tem, é realmente uma ideia excelente, não hš dúvida.

Day 19 (a bit late): Alice Oseman
As I said I've got 14 authors to fit into two days. Probably just going to extend to 30? But Oseman gets this spot as an absolute legend of queer fiction in both novel & graphic novel form, and an excellent example of the many truths queer writers have to share with non-queer people that can make everyone's lives better. Her writing is very kind, despite in many instances dealing with some dark stuff.
I started out on Heartstopper, which is just so lovely and fun to read, and then made my way through several of her novels. The one I'll highlight here which I think it's her greatest triumph is "Loveless", which is semi-autobiographical and was at least my first (but no longer only) experience with the "platonic romance" sub-genre. It not only helped me work through some crufty internal doubts about aro/ace identities that I'd never really examined, but in the process helped improve my understanding of friendship, period. Heck, it's probably a nice novel for anyone questioning any sort of identity or dealing with loneliness, and it's just super-enjoyable as a story regardless of the philosophical value.
To cheat a bit more here on my author count, I recently read "Dear Wendy" by Ann Zhao, which shouts out "Loveless" and offers a more expository exploration of aro/ace identities, but "Loveless" is a book with more heart and better writing overall, including the neat plotting and great pacing. I think there are also parallels with Becky Albertalli's work, though I think I like Oseman slightly more. Certainly both excel at writing queer romance (and romance-adjacent) stuff with happy endings (#OwnVoices wins again with all three authors).
In any case, Oseman is excellent and if you're not up for reading a novel, Heartstopper is a graphic novel series that's easy to jump into and very kind to its adorable main characters.
I think I've now decided to continue to 30, which is a relief, so I'm tagging this (and the next post that rounds out 20) two ways.
