Nobody saw this because democratic establishment sucks, so posting again.
Two part post, but trust me it's good. I'm at my wife's grandmother's. Look here, normal bathroom. Aquatic picture, flowers, butterflys. Normal stuff.

Hey #maine did you know that Angus King plans to vote to reopen the government and damn the aca premiums fight? Think this is bullshit? Give him a call and an email. We should fight for a better tomorrow, not the fascist bullshit.

Most days I wish I had millions of dollars so I could support my friends' writing and art. Today I wish I had millions of dollars so that I could just hire the Teen Vogue politics staff and let them keep writing.

I have zero spoons left. Lots of knives and forks though. Hyundai has been perhaps the worst auto company to work with in any capacity.
If you wish to do a small act of kindness for me, go read any of my free stories or buy a book. Dead Mage Walking is free on itch, and AFLS on Royal Road.

I did not enjoy "nobody sleeps in the woods tonight". Zero character focus. Lots of "artsy" shots. A pace that made frozen molasses seem fast. And the inexplicable choice to give an in depth explanation for the monsters origin that somehow still boiled down to magic space rock.

Valid.
I'm just going to save this and send it to people when they ask me about how I feel about AI in creative spaces.

For the second time in his seven years on this planet, my wife and I have stepped up to save Henry's life (boarder collie on the left. We don't own him) my dude went six and a half years between eating socks.

I too am running a Halloween sale. Everything half off. Two urban fantasy, and two high fantasy. First book of the urban fantasy is already free, which would be Dead Mage Walking.

Sharing again for morning (for me at least) folks. I have a Halloween sale on my already out books. And since all of November will be devoted to promoting the novella prior to its debut, this will likely be the last time I spotlight these books for a while.
I've been talking a lot about my coming novella, but what if you want sci-fi? You can get both currently out books from the Azaes Realm series on Itch for a devilishly good price for their Halloween sale. It's spooktacular!

So far, the real horror is your best friend sleeping with your dad. So much drama. 1/3rd of the way in and the zombies only just starting to pick up.

I like watching horror movies from around the world. Watching some Indonesian film now. It's managed to pack a lot of interpersonal drama in too. It's clear none of these folks like each other.

Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2
6.5 This game is beautiful, and the ideas for the clan powers are fun. Voice acting and character development are all top-notch. Sadly, the game crashes a lot, and while the ideas they have for clan powers are fun, they ultimately are about as deep as a puddle.

I simply mourn for the game it should have been.
... on that note. Atrium... Atrium was so good. There were flashes of greatness in the whole game.

Me, a thoughtful husband. Makes sure Pokemon z to a is downloaded and updated for the wife before I head to work. What does she do? With bleary eyes.... Plays the wrong pokemon game. In her words "it was still good!"

Just updated my profit and loss ledger for my writing.
Bad news. Still running a negative to the tune of about 495 dollars.
Good news. That was about -900 dollars before the summer. So, I'll take that small win.

Lovely. Janet mills announced her bid for Maine senate. Another stale bread centrist democrat whose been a fine Governor, but I fear will ultimately fail to meet the moment by being too much the same.
