Royal Hawaiian just showed up while my other movers are here (to get the piles of packing rubbish RH flaked on retrieving for a month) and not only did RH try to leave some of it behind but RH also would've stolen the other movers' hand truck if I hadn't seen them try to take it Also so far at nightmare apartment today I've seen a large cane spider, small and medium size roaches, and an adolescent scolopendra centipede. Yay me.

I'm admitting here that I never saw Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG). I'm watching it now for the first time (it's helping me get through a rough personal time) and I have some thoughts. And questions. Ongoing.

Also AMA.

1. Why does Data have nipples?
2. Is Q a niffin? 3. If I took a drink every time I saw a moose knuckle I'd be dead.
4. (Not complaining.)
5. How can we get Nic Cage cast as a Pakled leader?

They did this "to align with CDC." They also removed test positivity rates for counties, replaced by "Patients with covid." SF went from High to Low overnight. It's useless now. They also removed daily reporting and replaced it with CDC's weekly per 100K. This was the last reliable tool for individuals trying to assess local (county) risk and protect themselves/their families. Reprehensible.

Amazon just terminated my Associates account and said it will not pay me any outstanding fees it owes me. The reason is "because the content [on @tinynibbes] promotes unsuitable activity." This affects ALL my books and book links everywhere, over a decade of linking. I'm really upset, that @ was me misspelling @tinynibbles. I've done business with Associates across all my websites since 2002. This is significant monthly income for me to lose as an author.

So, as you've probably heard, here in San Francisco our Mayor died. I have a few thoughts about Ed Lee I'd like to share, especially because his obituaries are so poor. First I'll say that there is a lot Lee did that I did not agree with. Those things are why I politely declined a seat with him at his table for the annual SF Pride (Alice B. Toklas) LGBTQ brunch two years ago. (I did sit at his table for the brunch this year.)
