Good morning, creatives! I'm at the cabin this weekend with my boys. It's so still outside, with all the snow that has fallen. The moon is nearly full, and it's sparkling! Sigh. I'll try to get a picture tonight. Here's one overlooking the lake.

Good morning, creatives! I just came up with a great idea for the demise of one of my characters ... one of the bad guys. Well, I think it's a good idea, anyway. We'll see. Coffee is READY!

#GVerse Before changing its name to the #Shit4Brains-Kennedy Center, the board of trustees apparently forgot to secure the new website domain.
Unfortunately for them, the domain is now owned by comedian and former South Park writer Toby Morton.

Good morning, creatives, and happy weekend! Writing a synopsis is my least favorite part of the writing/submission process. How about you?

You guys caught this too, right?
“Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” ███████ noted some girl with a funny name “took me into a fancy hotel or building, that’s how it happened.”
Also this: she was advised to call the police. But she replied, “I can’t, they will kill me.”

925 billionaires are why we don’t have affordable housing, universal healthcare, child care & education.
They’re the reason there’s so much suffering & poverty.
America is poised to have the world’s first trillionaire in Elon Musk… a man whose decision to cancel USAID has already killed 600,000.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Joyful Christmas Eve, you who celebrate, from all of the #FiresideFriends and crew. You're invited to join us this evening if you have nothing to do. 🕯️
In winter’s glow we gather near,
friends like lanterns through the night;
for every wandering, weary heart,
a place called home is found in light.
