What I want for my birthday. Christain Nationalism dead and buried in the ground, its corpse made impossible to revive. The end of US state sponsored violence, especially (but not exclusively) when used to wrongfully imprision, intimidate, and harm its citizens and those loving here peacfully.

That no one like Trump is President ever again, and all the powerful entities that put him there be made an example of so that no one will ever try it again. Amd that the Constitution and the branches work as intended to keep power in check.

That Donald Trump see the consequences of all his horrible actions before he sheds his mortal coil. That he, his family, and administration face generational consequences for what he has done to this country and the Constitution for the soe purpose of his own enrichment.

The end of the slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza, the end of Israeli settlers eroding Palestinian land in the West Bank. That the War criminals like Netanyahu and Putin face the Justice they sorely deserve. That victims of Rape get the justice they deserve and their perpetrators face consequences.

Massive reform in the Democratic Party to remove the influence from the wealthy. Election reform. The end of Citizens v United. The end of gerrymandering, the end of dark money. The end of the Ukraine war, with the removal of Russia from Ukraine's borders and the return of all abducted from there

The end of corruption in all forms, and at all levels, of all governments. And to reduce the wealth of anyone who corrupts to zero. For its refusal to keep the executive branch in check and balance, that the GOP forever loses its power in congress and the 6 enablers on the SC be impeached/removed

Finally saying the quiet part out loud.

Sony says "reasonable consumers" know they don’t own the digital PlayStation games they buy. It argues that it's "not plausible" to suggest that when they buy a digital game they actually believe they're "obtaining ownership" of it. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sony-sa...

Black Hole Sun finally came to wash away the rain

NEWS 🚨: Astronomers have discovered an entirely new type of cosmic object called a "black hole star" It's the size of our solar system, emits 100 billion times more energy than any star, and may finally explain JWST's mysterious "little red dots"

Me: "Gotta send a chapter of my manuscript to my writer's group to critique, I'll just open the document quick and copy/paste the chapter on to a blank doc so I can send it!" Also me: *spends two hours editing the chapter first, making me stay up way past my bedtime.* #WritersLife

Snagged this from FB. This may make some people uncomfortable but I think it highlights just how far we've come from what's natural, from our relationship to the Earth that sustains us and our beautiful relatives we share it with.

I’m absolutely done with seeing AI slop anti-Trump cartoons spammed on this bloody app. I report and block/mute the accounts but there are SO MANY. Please just go draw a stick figure instead, we will know who it is if you just use the right colours. I PROMISE you. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH.

This is Molly. She was finally found a week after her human fell down a 180-foot waterfall while hiking together in New Zealand. Her human was badly injured and rescued by helicopter, but Molly was missing. A week later, Molly was found at the base of the waterfall and reunited with her human. 14/10

Trump giving us further proof that we didn't ask for or need that he doesn't care about health care and doesn't want to replace the ACA. Concepts of a plan inaction

Trump, looking bored to death during a healthcare roundtable: "We're gonna have to go very fast. We are way behind schedule and I have a couple of meetings that are very important ... Let's go. C'mon, Bob. Rob."

I'm really great at writing characters and dialouge. Even if I don't have a clear picture of a character at first, I'll learn who they are by the end of a draft and be have a clear path to making them stronger in the edit. And when I do have a clear picture of them, they basically write themselves.

Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome. I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at. No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

*vehicle is slowly turning to the right to avoid the officer* Jigoistic Dumbass Vance: "duuuuur!! They were tryin' ta run him ovder!!!" Idiot doesn't even know the term for that

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

📚🪐 I finshed the Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson, the final of his 2023 Secret Projects. I enjoyed it, but not as much as the other 3 books from the Kickstarter. It just didn't pop the way those other ones did. A lot of may be set-ups that won't pay off for quite some time. 6/10 #booksky

📚🪐Yumi and the Nightmare Painter is such an interesting read. The story develops pretty slowly through the middle portion of the book, but it makes sense as a relationship is building between the main chracters. It's definitely worth reading. #booksky

📚🪐Backed the Brandon Sanderson Secret Projects Kickstarter three or four years ago and while I got the books over the course of 2023, I finally got to them this year. (I actually read Wind and Truth first) Tress was a solid book, and I enjoyed Frugal Wizard a lot more than I was expecting

You ever think about how "secret" pedophile Trump crashed our economy in his first term, then got elected again because he was needed to um... *checks notes* save our economy(?) But no, he's crashing it again. And even faster this time. Shocking.

Imagine a world where Senate Democrats had demanded that Trump's entire bill be repealed instead of just getting the ACA credits back. They could have negotiated down to the ACA credits and could have gotten some other concessions as well. Instead they asked for the bare minimum and then caved.

They only asked for ACA credits because they knew it was a softball and expected Trump to swing at it. Instead he refused to budge and they panicked. Always ask for more than you want. They should have known that. Especially with Trump. Nobody wants to negotiate anymore.

After the first one at a clinic didn't work for me, I called and asked for a second one. With feedback, they sent messages. I already called back once, and none had replied. I am now past the deadline they gave to contact me again. I guess I look elsewhere since I can't deal with apathy. 2/2

Manuscript editing shows you the various phases you had as a writer. Like now, I'm editing through my semi-colon phase. One chapter was like 75% sentences with semi-colons. That's too many. I appreciate seeing my growth as an author, but still.
