dewline: Text: Searching and Researching (research)
An acquaintance of mine just uploaded the results of a font design project near and dear to his heart. Some of you might have an interest in it as it focuses on one of the scripts of the African nations. The Twitter thread that starts with this posting explains more of the context...

Or, at least, to stop buying new books set in that version of our galaxy. I've been reading them since Honor Among Enemies was released in paperback. So...about twenty years now.

Mainly, if it happens, it's going to be due to what I'm reading second-hand of series author David Weber's apparent non-reaction to the Trumpist crowd now apparently dominating the online forum Baen's Bar as administered by Baen Books from several of you. I'm not expecting a happy reaction to whatever Mr. Weber's posted to Facebook about the matter when I see it for myself later tonight.

Which will be cause for some sadness. But it won't be the first time fictional characters proved (mostly) better people than their creator/designer/primary actor on-screen in recent memory. Will it?

More later, I suppose. One way or another.
