Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com

This is the premise for Monsters and Other Childish Things the #TTRPG from @arcdreampublishing.bsky.social and it's an amazing game that you should play (and buy my books that I wrote for it)

"Rome’s story then does not warn us of the danger of barbarous outsiders toppling a society from within. It instead shows how a false claim that a nation has perished can help cause the very problems its author invented." - Edward J. Watts time.com/6101964/fabr...

Donald Trump does not want to be King, he wants to be Pharaoh, and he has decided to be buried with his wealth* when he dies. * I'm not sure if America wishes to be buried with him.

I watched Planete B. Comforting to see that Grenoble remains a dystopian hell scape in the future. I can’t decide if it’s too long or too short. The themes are under developed and either need to have been cut down or expanded on. If too short, it would have been better to split it into two films.

This weeks life goal achieved. I feel like the Norwich City FC of duolingo. Not managed to get promoted, but through blind luck managed to be demoted either. Sorry if you did get demoted from my league, I am here through luck over playing that birds evil games. Duo the Jigsaw of language learning.
One place above the demotion zone on duolingo for this week.

I am now certain Russell T Davies has been pulling a two season (as well as 5 special episodes) long con on viewers of Doctor Who. Well played if true. Let's see if he can stick the landing.

Tabitha being passive aggressive against Sadie. Tabitha is trying to push her off. To give Sadie credit, she is being an immovable lump and ignoring Tabitha.

I have entered the insanity stage of my french rewatch of Fast and Furious. Fast 7 - I have had to watch them 3 times (French, English, French) - and even with that understanding, they are padded cell worthy nuts.

On 2/19/1942, FDR signed Executive Order 9066 forcing the removal of over 100,000 Japanese Americans to “relocation camps,” with less than 2 days to get affairs in order. They lost their homes, businesses, farms and communities. Never forget, stop allowing it again #AAPI

There are times when you shouldn’t get what you want. (And I include myself in that number - normally around that 3rd Pint area, I should be stopped. - For these maniacs its the dismanteling of government/laws/being allowed to treat people in a way you would not allow a 7 year old not to behave)
