My March article on Worldbuilding has been published. “Let’s all rub blue mud in our navels” (homage to Robert A. Heinlein) is about writing sex, sexuality, mores and other cultural artifacts. #sff #writing writersandpublishersnetwork.com/lets-talk-wo...

Joy has a pacemaker and it seems to be working. She had a dialysis yesterday with no AFib. She’s cranky and hungry so she’s getting better. She needs to be able to walk before she can come home. I can’t keep driving to and from Seattle every day. gofund.me/44be2d8e7

Yay! We dodged a bullet! The cardiac cath showed no new problems with Joy’s heart!! This means we can start planning for her getting out—-at least to the skilled nursing facility in Port Angeles. We’ll find out when she can bail out tomorrow! gofund.me/44be2d8e7

JOY UPDATE! They did her hip replacement surgery yesterday. She appears to be mostly doing well, but the pain gets to her from time to time. She did dialysis right after surgery, too, Thank you to everyone who's donated so far. lnkd.in/g62Qs9D3

Tomorrow is the first surgery on Joy's eyes. If this works she will get some of her sight back. We will need help with medical costs and expenses. To save hotel bills, I'm driving back and forth from Port Angeles to Silverdale (a 2.5 hour drive.)

@maddow.msnbc.com We ought to be calling the black concentration camps what they are—Alcatraz was a real, legitimate prison. This is more like Auschwitz. So let’s start calling it “Alligator Auschwitz.”

Today Joy and I are at the U Dub medical center for a bunchaton of tests to see if she will get a kidney. Prayers, good wishes, white light, or whatever juju you like will help. If you’d like to help financially visit www.buymeacoffee.com/waltboyes and thank you!

Adam Schiff tried to explain what the Democrats did yesterday on X. The Trumpies and the bots swarmed his post and posted evil images of Schiff being butt-raped and his mouth photoshopped into an anus. He tried to keep Schumer from surrendering, but WE ALL FAILED!

Walt Boyes @waltboyes.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

Here’s another diss to the military. Sure, the reason they deleted the page was because the most decorated unit in US military history is a non-white unit. But what they’ve done is to devalue the valor of the entire US Army. If you voted for Trump, this is what you bought.

Walt Boyes @waltboyes.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

Stop the Rethuglican posturing. Vote NO and take it to the people. Town Hall meetings everywhere, until the Republicans agree to negotiate in a bipartisan fashion. The government is already closed by Trump.

A report from planet B @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @chrislhayes.bsky.social Here is what I have heard from a person I formerly respected: “Trump was sent to USSR by our own intelligence services… “

Walt Boyes @waltboyes.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

Instead of being co-opted by the Rethuglicans (I’m looking at YOU, Chuck Schumer) the Democrat electeds should let the CR fail, let the government shut down, and take it to the people. The Republicans won’t talk to their constituents. The Democrats must! We’ll see if Republicans blink for a change.

010

Walt Boyes @waltboyes.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

So Schumer showed his true colors. He’s going to vote with the Republicans “to keep the government open.” Once again, the Democrats blinked. Is there any clearer evidence why we are so pissed? #democrat #angry #not_politics_as_usual

#nebulas #sfwa If you are eligible to vote I suggest you upvote a brilliant first novel: Yaroslav Barsukov’s “Sleeping Worlds Have No Memory” published by Caesik Press I am a little prejudiced because I helped edit the novel, but it is really the best first novel I have read in some time.

The department of education has put up a webpage for people to rat out DEI in government and schools. The webpage is www.enddei.ed.gov And I ratted out Trump for his massive DEI hires: Vance, Bondi, RFKjr, Patel, Bongione, and many more. If you know of any DEI hires you’d like to rat out, please do!

I simply couldn’t watch anymore as Trump and Vance berated Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the White House. Trump lied again about the 300+ billion in military assistance that does not exist. Vance and Trump overtopped each other yelling at Zelenskyy without giving him a chance to respond

Ya gotta ask yourself, what we can do about the coup—-and it IS a coup, don’t think it isn’t—now that we have allowed the Rethuglicans to have the trifecta—both houses of congress and the presidency, and many state houses… What we can do is to stand up and speak out, in even the smallest thing…

Not gonna lie, "You have committed a crime." just became my new meme. Fuck him and every one of these scumbags. Lets mock the shit out of 'em. The only thing these shitheads want is to be treated as gods. Give them the exact opposite.

This is for our friends in Canada, Mexico and China. We deeply deplore the action of the US President. He is an idiot, and an embarrassment, and we are ashamed to be Americans. We will continue to struggle to take our country back until we win or die.

Donald Trump takes office in less than 3 weeks. What do you suppose his reaction will be? Maybe he will support Kim Jong Un for president of SOUTH Korea <eevil grin>!
