we will prevail.

Greetings and #welcome to followers old & new! #Mastodon is an interesting venue; I hope it becomes a harbor for my 2 #space exploration shuttles: #StarshipReckless, where I write essays, reviews & vignettes; and #CandlemarkAndGleam, a tiny #indie #press with a long shadow, a formidable talent lineup & vast dreams of shaping the dark. #books #writing #science #sciencefiction #fantasy #language #culture #art #journeys

I made a curated #youtube #playlist with over 30 hours of soothing #videos of long #train #journeys from around the world. Hit the shuffle button for a surprise train

Do boost if you think others enjoy this. And share suggestions so I can improve the list!
