Two questions I ask students every semester, which we all likely need to reflect on now more than ever:

1. How long was the Montgomery bus boycott?

2. What convenience are you willing to lose for *that* many days, if it means effecting change [which may (not) benefit you directly]?

Also, [1/2]

Is there anyone working on modern age democracy and governance for 10 billion people? It feels our current way of doing things will lead to increasingly populist ideas over the next few decades.

What can be done to ensure people can't just con and thug their way into leadership!

Holding myself accountable here for a writing project "WITS"

On Apr 1st, I am going to complete my draft and start navigating publishing

This project revolves around 3 GenZ protagonists freshly hired into a tech conglomerate and discovering a serial K done by an entity with a twist.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are using misinformation about Argentina to sell their plan to gut the U.S. economy. Don’t fall for it.

#Japan is so beautiful 😍

Sometimes, I gaze upon the glory of nature and feel inspired to write a novel. An immortal mountain spirit watching over the Earth and seeing human beings make the same mistakes of hate, selfishness, and greed cycle over cycle.

Unless this has been written before in which would love the link

I love this.

Travel widely and deeply! It will open your eyes to the perspectives that make up the online world. Visitng Japan and just blown away by the number of tourists here. Still cities are so clean and polite locals #Japan

Unveiling my second novel: WEARING THE LION.

This himbo hero Heracles, Hera's biggest fan, collects a menagerie of monsters in pursuit of the god who destroyed his family.

The trouble? Hera is responsible, and she'll do anything to hide the truth.

Coming June, 2025!

2.5 years ago I started the Wheel of Time.

I wanted to read it before watching the series, not knowing it was 14 books & thousands of words.

Tonight, I finished it.

It's probably the best series I've ever read, or will ever read. And now I have serious series grief.

Boys have swag

Offered with a strong comment on today's US political environment and the redhats

The puffer swells with righteous red and rage,
While sharper fish exploit his swollen stage;

They whisper tales of glory to his pride,
Then, pick his purse while hatred swims inside

3000 days - a blink of the eye in human history, profound to formative years of my life

2014 October - I was a happy guy, close to ending my Masters from a Texan University! Funded scholarship, Dean's list, top of my class, with an offer to one of the top consulting firms for cybersecurity.

My shopping list for today

Bread, eggs, and veggies, and a whole lot of decency!

I keep gushing over the clean interactions on Bluesky - how did I sleep on it so long amd keep dealing with the apocalyptic wasteland!
