Having children's Sunday school songs stuck in my head only really serves to remind me how fucked up were some of the things we were taught as kids.

I have updated my itch author page: simonwolfeauthor.itch.io with a bullet list of my 5 #free to read stories. Check it out. There's probably something of interest there. Three are #spicy, two are not.

🐉Arkay would write Rosa's. Not a lot of information, just "Beloved" 🐉Meph would write Arkay's, and he'd run out of room with all he'd want to say 🩸Lachance's would be written by his great-grandkids, who would only include a death date and "beloved father and grandfather" #13morbidmondays

🔥Irora spent some time in a fighting ring, where she excelled at taking hits until she found the right moment to strike back 🐉After Arkay gets her hands on healing serum, she abuses the fuck out of it to become the designated meat shield on dangerous missions. She's a bullet sponge.

I keep seeing an author around who uses what look like AI graphics, but I'm not going to accuse them of that directly and risk their reputation. I'm giving them a chance to provide sources instead, and if they tell on themselves, that's their own doing.

Every now and then I see myself referred to as an "AI Denier" and I want to be clear I acknowledge "AI" exists, it's just I think it's a massive energy drain, created from theft, implemented poorly for inappropriate tasks by loathsome tech executives who get hard at the idea of the rest of us dying

I think 20-year-old me would be too shocked at my current circumstances to be able to form an opinion on me. Divorce wasn't on the table back then, nor was an office job or self-publishing. I think she would struggle to wrap her head around it all.
