After months of aggravated letters and voicemails to MGP while I lived in Vancouver, a much more hopeful letter to my Beaverton Congressional Rep, whom I trust far more to do the right thing. A letter I sent to @repbonamici.bsky.social:

A letter I sent to MGP today. She’s fraying my last nerve. WA-03 friends, feel free to use this as a template.

A letter I wrote to @gluesenkampperez.house.gov and submitted on her website this morning. I tweaked the letter a bit to send it to Senators Murray and Cantwell as well. I may be just one person in Washington State, but I stand with democracy, always. My reps will know.

Considering a possible change of pen name, at least for my adult manuscripts. Ricky Barca would still be a YA writer, but my adult books like the Finn Cooper Mysteries could be published as Mark Baħari. Thoughts?

The barista at Ovation in Portland was right. Nus nus really does look so much better in the glass. Observe the fruits of my espresso and croissant labors

#throwbackthursday to this (cropped) pic I found from someone’s Google review of the Stanford Bookstore back when I was working there. God I miss that shirt. And hand selling books. But hopefully soon someone there might just be hand selling mine…we’ll see

#SpotifyWrapped sadly doesn’t include ChronoWulf cause Spotify dropped most of Koda’s songs. But all my other faves, well represented. Big surprises: Uriah Heep making my top 5 (I listened to a bunch of their albums) and “The Chain” not being my top song, but for “Maldito Duende,” ¡viva España!

Back in 2016, when this episode of Agent Carter first aired, Howard Stark prophesied the four horsemen of the American Apocalypse. (Helps that in context, he’s talking about an elite social club that throws their weight around to rig elections)
