Voyager has a habit of putting the characters in really interesting situations that are still (unfortunately) relevant to current situations, but than ending on... really weird conclusions about them.

Most of fandom: it makes more sense if Quinlan is a few years older than Obi-Wan and his creche mates, since his Padawan is several years older than Anakin and knighted before him, and it also ties in neatly with him not existing in the Jedi Apprentice books if he's already doing Padawan things when they happen
Me: uses the not great Legends dates/timeline that says Obi-Wan and Quinlan are the same age because that makes Quinlan a Teen Dad

It's the solstice tonight, and a good time to reflect on my favourite books from the past year.
I'm making very little attempt to rank these titles. They're simply the books that I enjoyed most, and they're presented in the order I read them. • "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet," by Becky Chambers (2014) • "The Galaxy, and the Ground Within," by Becky Chambers (2021) • "Locklands," by Robert Jackson Bennett (2022) • "Beloved," by Toni Morrison (1987) • "Exhalation," by Ted Chiang (2019) • "Fugitive Telemetry," by Martha Wells (2021) • "Becoming Kin: An Indigenous Call to Unforgetting the Past and Reimagining Our Future," by Patty Krawec (2022) • "The Vanished Birds," by Simon Jimenez (2020) • "The Netanyahus: An Account of a Minor and Ultimately Even Negligible Episode in the History of a Very Famous Family," by Joshua Cohen (2021) • "Utopia Avenue," by by David Mitchell (2020) • "The Calcutta Chromosome: A Novel of Fevers, Delirium & Discovery," by Amitav Ghosh (1995) • "Moon of the Crusted Snow," by Waubgeshig Rice (2018) • "Bea Wolf," by Zach Weinersmith; illustrated by Boulet (2023) • "Fighting the Moon," by Julie McGalliard (2021) • "The Empress of Salt and Fortune," by Nghi Vo (2020) • "The Glass Hotel," by Emily St. John Mandel (2020) • "New York 2140," by Kim Stanley Robinson (2017) • "When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain," by Nghi Vo (2020) • "The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Omnibus," by Ryan North et al; illustrated by Erica Henderson & Derek Charm & Jacob Chabot & Naomi Franquiz & Tom Fowler & Rico Renzi et al (2022) • "Buffalo Is the New Buffalo: Stories," by Chelsea Vowel (2022) • "Greenwood: A Novel," by Michael Christie (2019) • "The House of Rust," by Khadija Abdalla Bajaber (2021) • "Children of Memory," by Adrian Tchaikovsky (2022) • "Jade Legacy," by Fonda Lee (2021) • "A Deadly Education: A Novel: Lesson One of the Scholomance," by Naomi Novik (2020) • "The Last Graduate: A Novel: Lesson Two of the Scholomance," by Naomi Novik (2021) • "The Golden Enclaves: Lesson Three of the Scholomance," by Naomi Novik (2022) • "To Be Taught if Fortunate," by Becky Chambers (2019) • "Helgoland: Making Sense of the Quantum Revolution," by Carlo Rovelli (2020), translated by Erica Segre & Simon Carnell (2021) • "A Psalm for the Wild-Built," by Becky Chambers (2021) Ah, but I said I'd make "very little attempt" to rank them, not "no attempt." So here is that attempt: my favourite five books from the last solar orbit — the five I enjoyed even more than those other thirty — also presented in the order I read them.
• "Nona the Ninth," by Tamsyn Muir (2022) • "Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands," by Kate Beaton (2022) • "Record of a Spaceborn Few," by Becky Chambers (2018) • "Briar Rose," by Jane Yolen (1992) • "Babel, or, The Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution," by R.F. Kuang (2022)

"It's nothing serious, just a few cuts and bruises. You'll be fine."
The rest of the gravel that clung to her palms was brushed off on her dress, as pain pulsed from her afflicted injuries from the fall. She was never one to complain or worry about her injuries too much, her blood won't let her, besides there's something more important than these little scraps. Kereb is still out there.
"See? I told you, I was fine." Quickly, she tries to stabilize herself again. She could feel the hot streaks of tears running down her face as her mind spirals with terrible scenarios. What if he was hurt or trapped? The very thought made her feel a swell of emotions within her. A hand reached out and tugged at the cuff of the other in urgency. "Please, please, can we just go and find Kereb already!?"

I am a member of Toastmasters and had to do a speech, and I'm on the Engaging Humor Pathway and this speech focused on 'Know Your Sense of Humor'. I titled my speech "Humor in a Cup of Tea" about humor and jokes in Ireland and my family visits there when I was kid. It was also about St. Patrick and my thoughts on the holiday. What made it work was that I was able to do the entire six speech in an Irish Accent, specifically a Northern Irish accent. This redo of the speech here isn't as good, but doing in front of people live actually turned out better than I expected. People laughed, Wow. I can be funny. ;) #Toastmasters #Toastmasters4Writers #Speech #Humor #Irish #StPatricksDay #StPatrick #SaintPatrick #Ireland #NorthernIreland #TheTroubles #IrishAccent #NorthernIrishAccent #Acting #VoiceActing #VoiceActor #VoiceOver #VoiceOverArtist #Ulster #UlsterFry #Tea #Shamrock #greenbeer #green

2021 - Mexico City - 65 - Cathedral of San Buenaventura in Cuautitlán by Ted McGrath Via Flickr: The Nave of Cuautitlán St. Bonaventure Cathedral has a unique altar piece with art work and gilded framing. The altar 4 pieces and possibly 4 more on the nave walls are all or not works by Flemish artist Marten de Vos. Some research says there are 3 de Vos paintings here. Apparently only one is signed by de Vos, a 1581 panel depicting St. Michael the Archangel hanging here since the sixteenth century. I think its the one upper right side. Marten de Vos was one of the most prolific and influential painters and print designers in Antwerp in the second half of the sixteenth century. In Mexico there are 8 paintings that are attributed to the artist, the only signed being the one placed in the altarpiece of the Cathedral of San Buenaventura in Cuautitlán. De Vos did not cross the Atlantic to the Spanish colonies unlike some of his contemporaries but many prints and several paintings did make the voyage and had a huge impact on the iconography as well as techniques of Colonial painting in the Americas.

Pope Gregory XVI, 1832: Mirari Vos:
14. This shameful font of indifferentism gives rise to that absurd and erroneous proposition which claims that liberty of conscience must be maintained for everyone. It spreads ruin in sacred and civil affairs, though some repeat over and over again with the greatest impudence that some advantage accrues to religion from it. “But the death of the soul is worse than freedom of error,” as Augustine was wont to say.[21] When all restraints are removed by which men are kept on the narrow path of truth, their nature, which is already inclined to evil, propels them to ruin. Then truly “the bottomless pit”[22] is open from which John saw smoke ascending which obscured the sun, and out of which locusts flew forth to devastate the earth. Thence comes transformation of minds, corruption of youths, contempt of sacred things and holy laws — in other words, a pestilence more deadly to the state than any other. Experience shows, even from earliest times, that cities renowned for wealth, dominion, and glory perished as a result of this single evil, namely immoderate freedom of opinion, license of free speech, and desire for novelty.
