If there is ever a time when "Use the force" is no longer a valid and well understood pop-culture reference, then I know my time on this planet is over.

ko-fi.com/ogremkv Lover of science (hate doing it, but love learning about it and explaining it to others). Would be writer. Builder of things (mostly plastic models and LEGO). Felid fanatic.
Started watching Lanterns. Casting choices are... odd. The Sheriff looks mid 40s, but the actress is 50. Her "husband" looks like he's 19. The husband's father looks like he's 40. Does this get explained?
@wesleywatts.bsky.social I'm enjoying this piece of software. Once I find everything... I can't seem to figure out how to attach the cover. I also want to insert a single illustration, but so it won't create any orphan or widow text.

I got a dehydrator from work. I have tried several things, but the best is apples.
@glynnstewart.com I'm really liking book 18, but I've found a ton of typos. I'm happy to pre-read for you if you need it.
#writing Going slowly as I'm in a part of the book that I don't really want to work on. Once I get going, it's usually OK. Almost to 40,000 words. We're going to have one more minor skirmish, then get ready for the big one. A couple hundred cybernetic water buffalo stampeding across Africa.
Quote of the day. Expecting Mitch McConnell and getting Lindsey Graham is like expecting chocolate chip and getting a snickerdoodle. No upset, just confused.
I honestly wonder if Graham had decided that enough was enough and pushed back against the current administration.
ELI5: Polestar cars are Chinese, even the ones built in South Carolina. Fords are US cars, even the ones built in Mexico. Jeeps are also US cars, despite being owned by French/Italian company and are built in Italy. Volvos are Swedish despite being built in S. C. and owned by the Chinese.
My prediction. In Democrat districts someone* will be found as a "non-citizen" trying to vote. The GOP declares that vote void and calls whoever the GOP controls to select the rep. Johnson will accept the false rep. The legitimate rep will not be allowed in. *who likely doesn't even exist
#Writing Didn't make my goal. I am just shy of 30,000 words. Life is rough sometimes.
4 - number of days I have off in row 23,717 - current word count of book 1 35,000 - goal for this weekend 4 - planned scenes so far Help me #writing
#writing Topped 21,000 words, in about two weeks. We've got action, alien weapons, body horror, epic explosions, and a training on how to eat MREs.
A major component of my new book, The Day After, is to push Democrats to embrace Supreme Court expansion. This court serves as a permanent veto on any and all progressive legislation. We need meaningful, lasting change, and that doesn't happen without Court reform.
2000 words so far today. I need to run some errands, but I'm really curious how far I can get in an otherwise unbusy day. I have a 4 day weekend next week. ;)
In my limited sample size, introverts seem to have difficulty with having 2 or more conversations simultaneously. Extroverts seem to have no difficulty with multiple conversations simultaneously. Also, extroverts assume that everyone can be just like them. #introvert #extrovert
Less than 10 days and I'm already more than 12,000 words. Unreal and I'm having fun writing this fast and it's... decently good, I think. #writing
#Writing Submitted to two agents. No chance, but maybe...
The prophecy has been fulfilled. The ritual must commence.
The most common news headline in the US, "Trump blames...". It's never his fault. It's always someone or something else.
If anyone needs dad advice or help and your male parent is a POS, like mine is, I'm here for you. I can't do much, but I can listen and I can fix a broken toilet. #FathersDay
