Whalecome to some new followers! I'm a writer presently polishing a novel with an editor for an interested agent and working on the second one at the same time. My genre is character-based fantasy (i.e. no politics or scheming houses) with some adventure and laughs thrown in. Happy to have you!

Canadian style:

Trudeau took a holiday with a family friend: Outrage! He should resign!

Trudeau sang in a hotel bar in London: Outrage! He should resign!

Poilievre bought donuts for the privileged malcontents who blockaded Ottawa to overthrow the government: Crown this guy Prime Minister!!!
Andrea Junker @Strandjunker
2 died of Ebola: They said Obama should resign.

4 died in Benghazi: They had Hillary testify for 11 hours, held 33 hearings, and launched a 4-year probe.

891,488 Covid deaths, an armed insurrection & theft of classified documents: They cheered, and worship Trump as God-King.

Crazy idea, hear me out - what if major media outlets asked kind and decent people for their takes on the latest headlines, instead of the same rich white angry racist douchebags over and over again???

This is a habit of media on both sides of the border. As soon as the incumbent scores a win (funding Ukraine for Biden, introducing the budget for Trudeau) media immediately drops a bullshit poll story so the narrative goes right back to the clickbait doom and gloom they thrive on.

Allow me to correct this article: Majority of Voters say Transphobic Criminal Douche was a failure, Joe Biden is a success. Fixed it for you: You Right Wing Transphobic Rag! Ladies and Gentlemen: Newsweek magazine is only fit to be used as toilet paper.

Sooooo, how will the media bothsides the fact that Kristi Noem is a puppy-murdering psychopath?

"The rising star in the Republican party and potential VP pick who recently went viral for her published comments regarding animal euthanasia practices..."

It will be a challenge for him because I don't think any of the mouth breathers who instigated nor participated in this disgrace can plausibly speak his sophisticated style of banter.

I will never understand this voting mindset in western democracies:

"Things are hard and I don't like the incumbent. I'm going to vote to give this obnoxious moron absolute power because he yells and says hateful things and that'll make everything better."

"They were back overlooking the harbor. Where he’d awoken what felt like a hundred years ago. It was nighttime now. Flickering amber lights quilted the hillsides at the mouth of the dark sea beyond. The white of the room had waned to a despondent gray."

Such a great question! Really depends on the mood, but I find myself re-reading Ian Fleming's Casino Royale at least once a year.

"The scent and smoke and sweat of a casino are nauseating at three in the morning."

Such a great opening line. You're there immediately.

With a #wave of her hand, everything, including time, stopped. She walked through dropping whispers here, pushing new thoughts over old, carefully changing outcomes without interfering with self determination or free will. At least not much. And humans could use all kinds of her help.

Like the Cybertruck, no one has asked for this. There is no market reason for it to exist. But the damn tech bros are doing it anyway.

The Tesla Cybertruck is the greatest example of what happens when no one has the guts to tell a mediocre white man that his ideas are effing stupid.

It amazes me that politicians on the left never state this out loud. The collusion and intent is obvious and yet they let the right and the media hammer them with "pain at the pump" stories year after year.

Here we go with gasoline prices. Israel struck inside Iran and that will rock the Middle East. It doesn't hurt that this is an election year and Saudi Arabia and Russia would like nothing more than an excuse to raise oil prices to hurt "Joe Biden".

TW: speaks to depression, suicidal ideation.

Trying to support someone, especially a child when struggling, is a lot of raw emotion.

Spending the morning applying for a job, so not able to chat. But I will say that I sent out the latest chapter of "Nameless" to all my subscribers, yesterday.

It's the calm before the storm in the story, and the storm is going to be big.

Might want to subscribe . . .

"She had imprinted on his soul. Cut away chunks of it to etch a jagged valley that could never, would never fill back in. The ache of her absence was as fresh ten years on as it was in the first ten minutes after she had left him.

Beautiful witches could do that to you." #amwritingfantasy

Today is NOT a “sad day for America.”

Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that.

Today is a GLORIOUS day for America, a day when we can live out the ideal that is carved into the front of the Supreme Court

#WorldPoetryMonth - Day 12

If you slowed down time
to hear each individual
grain of sand in an
hourglass drop
do you wonder
what it would
sound like

They boom
heavy rhythm
like the unspoken
words lost between
lovers when their end
has come and they wish
they had slowed down time

"Everything she has been fearing floods back in an instant. Piling upon her in wave after wave. Thoughts dissolve into rubble as old, unresolved trauma pierces, punches and claws its way out of the deep granite prison into which it had been entombed – and laughs." #writing
