Have you ever taken inspiration from something which could have but didn't happen?

Absolutely. This is the definition of alternate history, a genre I've been obsessed with since I was very young. Sometimes I think it's fun to point right at the one event that lies at the fork of my story's timeline from ours; sometimes i think it'd be overexplaining (and fun for an alert reader to suss out).

despite the presence of some lines that bumped for me in the last few episodes, i had faith in the show right up to the last episode. then all the flaws of the final third swam into focus.

in short: more Dr. Ellis, please un-nerf Dr. Al-Hashimi, and much less Dr. Robby & white savior dudes.

@wra do you mean that the display was foldable (which is what I meant) or do you mean that the phone itself was foldable, like a clamshell or "flip" phone?

@ShaulaEvans I'm old! :) I've done a bunch of stuff, which your amazement is making me feel a lot better about, truly. I was a systems administrator for 25 years... been married & divorced twice... never broken a bone... had a stroke at age 50... I have an extremely good ear... what else can I tell ya? and what secrets are *you* hoarding? :)

@ShaulaEvans thanks! I'm a professional writer with plenty of experience translating German to English -- technical material, museum texts, message lists for websites and software, etc. some fiction as well. I'm old school and eschew machine translation when possible. I use open-source tools (OmegaT). interested parties can hit me up at https://danshick.com

@AdaraAstin I figured it wasn't your natural voice, but as a former linguistics student and former performer I can hear the quality of the instrument under the tune :) (btw despite having followed you for a while, I never listened before because I never before managed to get over the Amazon hurdle. I feel almost silly for waiting so long to hear your voice!)

Replying to @Tattie@eldritch.cafe
@Tattie thanks for this thread. it's stunning to realize how necessary it is to call out mistreatment of widows -- it's so widespread and so deeply ingrained in society. I had to learn this lesson the hard way, through uncharitable thoughts toward the widow of an old friend. the way she moved on wasn't mine to question or judge, but judge her I did. at some point I awoke from my idiotic slumber and realized how shitty I'd been. I still feel awful about it 15 years on.
