A Sale! And This Week's Writing 6/27/26
40% off, $30/yr; special cat rescue edition
We lost the Creature for about 24 hours when she snuck outside and we worried we’d never see her again. But then it turned out she was under a bush in our neighbor’s yard. With a certain amount of drama and scratching and protest we extricated her and tossed her back in the house and she is now again perched in her basket on top of the bureau looking down at us all. No going outside for you ever again, Creature.
Also! The sale is going to end pretty soon; it’s still 40% off, $30/year. Your contributions make it possible for me to keep scribbling so I’m hoping you will help me do that? Not to beg, but kind of to beg.
This is what I published this week.

Star Trek TOS Rewatch Guide
I’m going to be doing a rewatch of Star Trek: The Original Series. I’m going to start publishing them Tuesday and Thursday for paying subscribers (though the ratings for each episode will be available for all.) This page will serve as a table of contents for the series.
