Capped off the scene with another couple of pages. We're on a surprising bit of a roll, though admittedly we aren't in the hardcore fantasy section yet. (Shudders at the prospect)

And not this version (I cannot find the one I know and love on YouTube!) but at least they have the proper vigor and force, so here's a weird partial clip to give the general idea. Never knew so many orchestrae got this one so wrong! youtube.com/shorts/cQcLK...

Being GenX/Millennial is such a trip. In our lifetimes, we saw people our age getting wild criminal penalties for pirating music and now have to sit and watch as companies gobble up our work with impunity.

Paying $800 a month for health insurance just to owe another $3,000 when you finally see a doctor isn't healthcare… It’s extortion. Enjoy. 😎✨

This is apparently not a doctored, AI altered photo. I have never seen someone capture the essence of this man and the Party of Traitors he represents so perfectly. THIS is your Republican "neighbor" behind closed doors, without facade. #AbolishtheGOP #HoldEveryOneAccountableInFull #Nuremburg2026

Here in the private sector, life happens. Cancer, accidents, Age related illness’s are met with,”life’s tough. That’s too bad.” No healthcare for life or a salary. It’s called disability, retirement, admitting reality, no employer would surrender to this job ethic by an employee.

You don't bend over backwards trying to rehabilitate a rabid mankiller who's developed a taste for human blood. You PUT IT DOWN. #vote #holdAccountable #Nuremburg2026

This is no longer "business as usual" (and in fact, it never was.) This is an existential fight for what is right and just and true and what it means to be an American, to be a global citizen. For empathy and looking out for your neighbor as much as your own selfish ass. No quarter. No compromise.

And then put in DRACONIAN penalties to corporations and the 1%'ers to take back every single dollar they've stolen from us, from siphoning our health, comfort and financial futures, and make sure they can never pull this shit again. Zero tolerance. Zero compromise. No "reaching across the aisle."

Because if you don't make damn sure they're not getting up, that they'll rethink ever pulling this shit again in your presence? They will. End the Republican Party. END. IT.

NEVER show fear. Never show weakness. Never cooperate or concede. Fight like you know they're going to get right back up, with reinforcements, and do worse to you and everyone else you're standing up for in that moment.

I've personally been standing up to and fighting back bullies since grade school (not false braggadocio, confirmed by others who were there for various notable incidents), but I know most folks didn't have my shitty life. So this one's for free.

or if you prefer, I'm playing the leads and improvising all the jazz inversions, flourishes and modulations: they're doing the fakebook chord charts and standards I use as a theme and jumping off point.

workably concrete in advance (back when I announced it and a bit further last night in prep for today.) Effectively, it's still all me, just not the plot and general narrative (though I still handle the flow and timing, speaking in more of a musical metaphor.)

and I script and finesse. For example, I came up with all the dialogue and particulars of scene, extra characters, names (except for the lead's pseudo and general look) and backgrounds today, which was most of the work I did. We've collectively hashed out their general plot ideas into something

My S.O. has always been my co-editor and second opinion on stuff I've written, offering occasional heightened gag ideas and clever twists (though 99% of 'em are all me.) This is different, as I have little interest in reading or writing about D&D style fantasy/romantasy, so the deal was, they plot

Day 1 on my 30th and first collaboration: sorting through way too many plot notes and pre-scripted flourishes for the first couple of chapters, digging up names, backgrounds and coming up with some amusing running gags. Got in the first few pages and came up with at least a working title as well.

Just a reminder for any newcomers: this is my author facing account as well as my sole standing social media, so most political posts are subject to removal within a day. Given the stakes of the upcoming election, a few important ones may hang in there.

It's amazing. I think it started with the 4Chan and Tik Tok crowds trolling kids into self harm. "Go dance outside a moving car, drivers! Go run at top speed into a brick wall! Why don't you "unal1ve" yourself?". And to everyone's amazement, many DID. China and Russia laugh at us, with good reason.

Another phony Corporatocrat. Zero tolerance for that going forward. We don't just need to clean house of the opposition. We need to show the Manchurian Candidate contingent the door as well, or nothing will ever change for the better. Looking at you, Jeffries and friends.
