Today I discovered html.energy: a website, a podcast, a movement. ❇️

Also, this is a pretty sweet poster written entirely in HTML. You can go ahead and print this from the browser—it looks great on a letter-sized piece of paper.

This the second novel about a fictional pandemic (and the immediate collapse of society) I managed to finish recently. The other one was Severance (2018) by Ling Ma. Both books were written and published in the years before the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

No more dystopian pandemic fiction for me for a little while.
