Hi M. Darusha Wehm My name is Kimberly, and I help organize a sci-fi and fantasy reading group in Texas called Books & Beers. A few people in our group recently picked up The Department of What It (Really) Means to Be Human, and it ended up becoming one of those books that kept coming up in conversation afterward. What people especially liked was [short personal observation].

A natural hot spring, boiling.
Orange, brown and white earth with a thermal spring running across it. Steam rises from the centre, and a sinkhole or whirlpool is to the left. Green trees surround the pool and there are hills in the distance.

Screenshot of part of my bluesky profile with an arrow pointing to the phrase "Nebula Award winning SFF author."
A white person with pink and teal hair wearing a suit (trousers and blazer) that is black with lots of white cockatiels and pink flowers on. They are wearing a black short underneath, a small pounamu necklace and black and yellow Adidas. There's a blue carpet on the floor, a red sofa and white chair and they are in front of a window with rolling green hills with houses and a blue sky with clouds. Next to Darusha is an unimpressed brindle dog facing away from the camera.

A white person with pink and teal hair and matching glasses with scrunched up eyes and tongue sticking out. Their hands are in the pockets of the overalls and gloriously skinned knees are visible above black sneakers with yellow laces.
Kurt Russell with long blond hair with a wee braid on the side, wearing a shell necklace, earrings and one of those white singlets that’s mostly just straps so you can see his tanned nude chest. He’s on a sailboat, with the sea in the background. He’s got an eyepatch over his left eye, zinc sunscreen on his nose and lips and he looks thoroughly unimpressed.
A black sign with a white circle with a line through it, but the line is a lightning bolt. In the circle is a red figure that I always think of as Satan, looking like they're in the throes of electrocution. Someone has handwritten "Ahhh! as if it's coming from the figure's mouth.
The cast of Killjoys stand in the bridge of a spaceship, looking badass.

Post by Valerie Valdes "My cat kept crying at me and she has food and water and I couldn't figure out what she wanted so I gave her some cheese. That probably wasn't it but at least she had cheese to console her." Followed by a post by Lev Parikian "SCAM ALERT - IMPORTANT The cat has already been fed."
A table covered in many takeaway food containers full of Lego. An instruction booklet for building the Lego fairground collection haunted house, with its box in the background. There's also an unruly succulent on the table.
White paint on a brown wood, a hand-painted pictograph of a person in a circle with a line through it that absolutely without a shadow of a doubt looks like a zombie. It's a no-zombies sign. With some nice embellishments on the bottom.

A painting of deep muted colours in a geometric, prismatic pattern which cover the canvas and extends over the wide frame. The didactic panel reads: Arthur Segal. Romanian, 1875-1944 Street in Helgoland II, 1924 Oil on board with painted frame Gift of Rolf and Margit Weinberg Foundation, Zurich, Switzerland This painting's uniformly rhythmic surface—which extends to the frame—reflects Segal's interest in "prismatisch" (prismatic) painting, an approach that uses color to mimic the optical effects of reflected light in order to create the appearance of three dimensionality. Segal gave each area of the composition equal pictorial value. He developed this technique, which he called "equi-balance," in 1916 while living in neutral Switzerland during World War I: one might read a wartime desire for peace in the artist's attempt at compositional unity and harmony.
