For all my bird- and robot-loving people out there:

I just reread Annalee Newitz's 2018 #ShortStory "When Robot and Crow Saved East St. Louis," and it's every bit the tasty tech confection I remember. Have you read it? All the bird and robot feels:

Some days just call for #ComfortReading (esp. if, in addition to giving you a little hope for the world, the story can wake up your brain and break your heart).

@RHW @Laking86 @bookstodon I received a complete-works of #Wodehouse as a gift some years ago which introduced me to some of the characters I hadn't previously met. Must dig it out and add to the #ComfortReading pile.

Was given #LegendsandLattes for Christmas and it's utterly sweet comforting fluff. Am now soaking down #TKingfisher #nettleandbone and realizing I haven't consumed her whole back catalog yet so I'll be getting on with that. #books #sff #comfortreading
