Speaking of family members..... My granny’s name is Grube. Her father was a German cigar maker who landed in Philly in the 1880s, who had some dairy farmer sons and daughters (NYS). I only say this because Grube is an uncommon name--to me. But, of course, it’s probably not your name at all (ha).
I Am researching the number of food processing plants burnt down! There were 132 chickens, turkeys, meat processing and others since 2019. Can you find out numbers in other countries? Next letter to the editor.
I also worry when people go missing from the internet. Dr James Olssen has also gone quiet, although in his case only for a month, so I hope he's just on a break. He's been doing a similar job to Mark (although less methodically), noting the 'died suddenly' folks and those with cancer and other conditions, out of the blue. I sent a link to his Twitter account to a couple of hacks at The Guardian one time, after they wrote hit pieces on Naomi Wolf (queen of sarc, Marina Hyde, and Jim Waterson, since you ask, although I've also written to others of them following hit pieces on Andrew Bridgen and nonsense about Ukraine.) Not that it does any good and they certainly don't reply, but it helps me to vent!
Cant you see how important this fiction is? Get back to imagining. We need stories, to escape the horrors of lies and masks. I want to read how Afghans and Iraqis and Yemenites, and Libyans and Vietnamese, etc... have it so good while we have the horrors which we so desperately need to escape from. I have such compassion for the Americans and the horrors they experience. Such brave virtuous people. Give them escape. Praise jesus!!!
Got it! It sounds lovely and curative. I've been trying to find a book that I read before this all hit, that investigates what happens in our minds when we read fiction, only, I can't remember the author or title (do not get old if you can help it lol). I'm convinced, though, that stories and novels can pull us from the rolling images that doom scrolling sluices into our brains. We've been making images in our heads and out, and imagining characters since at least the Upper Paleolithic, and we're dragged, like being suctioned towards the event horizon of a black hole, towards the narratives being manufactured and the perpetual images that go with it, out of worry and fear and in vain attempts to cognitively map wherever the hell we are going. In novels we remember the interior life, its contradictions and moods and shifts, and we remember that that is going on in others too. We are remade as individuals immerse in families and communities. And a novel is an anchor we can drop. What was it Kafka said? "A book is an axe for the frozen sea inside us" I'm looking forward, so much to reading this, and so glad to support you and your wife, as the load you have shouldered is heavy.
I just ordered it on Amazon! So awesome that you are so supportive of your wife. Thanks for all you do, and thanks to your wife for supporting you while you do it! Looking forward to reading HER work. 🙂
This book may be more than a respite. It may serve as the impetus to fully live again, strengthened from this ordeal, having survived the challenges that we encountered which ultimately lead to our inner work for growth as sturdier human beings from the inside out. It sounds as if your wife used her time wisely to capture the essence of what those of us still standing encountered in our own ways.
Wow the reviews of your wife's book are so lovingly written by people all trying to do right to the quality of her novel. Impressive! On the top of list to read now, thank you for that and hopefully the rest of the world will read is as well, because we all need to connect without technology so badly, because that is who we are....but important reason why 'it is less popular/ recommended', is in my opinion because the pseudo techno science digital people who took over our world, cannot earn more money on it...possibly less is well thinkable.
Good job holding up and praising the love of your life!!

I would check out Ice Age Farmer.
He was covering that, but I recently learned that he is missing from the internet. Last post seems to be May 2022.
There seem to be telegram entries from November 2022, but nothing since...
Uh-oh...
Did he get disappeared like a Brady Vaughn? And Epstein?

It's probably global warming.
Probably. What else could it possibly be?
