I barely have any time to promote my first book anymore. I’m at my 9-to-5 work day and night, and in between, I’m busy with the publishing process of my new book.

There are still readers of my book here, in addition to those on other platforms. I've found some. Whether people want to hear it or not, money from book sales helps cover expenses that a salary can’t. I’m glad I found at least this job. Other places weren’t nearly as easy to get hired by.

When I express an opinion, it’s ridiculous how many ill-mannered users and bots pop up in the comments to rant about it. I had to delete the entire post. Is this freedom of speech and “equality”?

I don’t spoon-feed people or bots information. Just as I do my own research to discover engaging platforms, find my own followers, and stay buried in my books after coming home from my new, demanding full-time job, others can do the same.

Too many bots have been posting hateful comments lately. I’ve been on a massive reporting-and-blocking spree for hate speech. At least I’m sweeping some of the trash off my profile. They still don’t get that someone might have a different opinion from theirs, or they expect a reply to gain views.

My book has been around long enough that I’m done wasting time waiting for users who claim to be book lovers, hype books with likes, yet never actually buy an indie book. Thankfully, I recently found a great platform where each book post gets 500+ reactions and genuine buyers within minutes.

I’d prefer it if some people stopped being mean-spirited when they voice a counterargument because it doesn’t make them look tougher or make them more convincing. I’m against spaying and neutering animals. Accept, once and for all, that someone can have an opinion different from yours. End of story.

Those who say we shouldn’t generalize are often the very people whose behavior reinforces the generalization in question.

No matter how much my life improves, or how many smiles I integrate into my daily schedule, I’ll always be the black-dressed, combat-boot-wearing existential seeker who composes medieval music and writes symbolic dark fantasy novellas, simply because that’s who I am. I'm bound to preserve my rarity.

Some people stand against the wall while every unstable, power-hungry authoritarian imposes their decisions on them. I found a good place, far away from psychological manipulation, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. If they’ve got the guts, they should do the same and stop being their minions.

Two people told me today, “You finally smile. I’ve never seen you smile before.” I guess that’s the magic good people bring into your life when they finally come along after decades of living through darkness and hardship. Well, something good came out of all that darkness: two amazing novellas.

Aside from my family and cousin, whom I know love me, I’ve encountered hostility and psychological abuse throughout my whole life. Suddenly, after so many years, I’m discovering a fairer world. I became a goth to survive, and now I can finally let a new, more peaceful version of myself emerge.

When you find a place where your efforts are finally recognized and valued above anyone’s personal gain, you know you’ve found the right place to be. I’m truly grateful for that place. 🙏🫶

Thankfully, some malicious users finally stopped messaging me long ago, asking why I follow so many people, including them. Not everyone has a wealthy sugar daddy promoting their books and films. I had to promote my books myself as a self-made author and artist. Telepathy doesn’t make a book known.

Zurich to Florida, we had proper security screening. The only thing that bothers me is removing shoes on some NYC flights. I’m uncomfortable taking off my boots in front of others. I always wear high black socks, but that doesn’t eliminate my discomfort. The use of full-body scanners is reassuring.

Back then, hijackers could carry knives, box cutters, and even mace spray onto planes without those items being immediately detected and confiscated? Are we serious?

I’m neither a civil engineer, physicist, nor aviation expert, so I don’t know the technical details, but from what it appears, back in 2001, the airborne threat detection systems and the passenger screening systems at airports must have been rudimentary, outdated, and inadequate.

About 9/11: Propaganda should never dictate our minds. There's no heaven of pilaf and women waiting after death for anyone who kills others. And to anyone who still believes this: they are lying to you. A good God would never reward those who kill others, even if they're people of another religion.

When the North Tower was hit at 8:46 a.m., employees in the South Tower were receiving conflicting instructions about whether they should remain in offices. This delayed the evacuation of the South Tower. If it had been evacuated immediately after the North Tower was hit, many would have been saved.

I reflect on the 9/11 tragedy. I did thorough research on the WTC attacks. Back in 2001, I was in 6th grade. I came home from school and sat in the kitchen to eat a cheese pie. I turned on the TV, and the first image I saw was the towers engulfed in flames. I had no idea what these towers were.

My first book has a more free-flowing editing style, while the second has tighter, stricter editing. However, both immediately grab the reader’s attention and explore shockingly obscure metaphysical subjects. They aren’t meant to be compared. They're meant to be explored as two different identities.

Reasons to love Bluesky: 1) I can easily post my opinion without having to create a reel or upload a photo with it. 2) I can instantly and quietly change my profile picture without making a whole fuss about it, since it’s not automatically posted to the feed to trigger reactions.

Being careful about your public image eventually leads to burnout. I dress, post, and speak as I please, and don’t care who disagrees. I simply avoid unfairly offending anyone. I don’t care if my opinions hurt sales. Those who want my book will buy it. Those seeking offense never intended to.

Anyone who has wealth and refuses to share even a portion of it perpetuates the will of evil and keeps us trapped down here for even longer.
