Here for the local ALX politics. Also probably a good mix of climate action fangirling and sci-fi/fantasy/romance book love. Too excited to worry about typos. Opinions my own.

Yes!! They are smart on holistic energy efficiency - insulated our attic (and did a blower door test to measure improvements!!!) before retrofitting our house with heat pumps. Cannot recommend Tran and his team enough.

It's a slow burn, but would still qualify as romantasy for sure. Smut is there, but I'd say Plot is a larger driver for CC.

Exhibit A, Text message from Jesse that explains: You need to read the three Crescent City books before raeding ACOTAR 6, mostly because Sarah J Maas starts to hint about shared universe stuff, also because it's a great series.

100% Yes. @oconnell.bsky.social and I were just explaining this to a very reluctant @beckyhammer.bsky.social! See Exhibit A.

But to answer your Q, No! However @oconnell.bsky.social would be a great ally for this pickleball dream

It's made for tennis. These dads would like a dedicated pickleball court, ideally in place of the inefficient un-fenced dog run next to the commuter lot at Oak & Commonwealth
