Just started reading @corydoctorow #RedTeamBlues and it's very weird seeing a bunch of #California places I actually know, and associated #siliconValley investor + culture stuff, now we're not there anymore.
Although, it was also weird when we were there tbf (I still haven't managed to read Parable of the Talents, Sower so distressed and depressed me, sorry Octavia..!)

(Fantastical near future fiction WIP) Diary of Beulah Edwards, May 17, 2028, Pensacola Lighthouse: "The problem is not the current situation and condition, but the ghosts of Confederate soldiers who crowd the narrow catwalk around the storm panes, begging me to turn off the light. They seem convinced the Union soldiers of 1862 are now across the bay at Fort Pickens and that the lighthouse will suffer artillery fire."
