Whelp, I finally did it. Logged into the Dead Bird, cleared out left the few remaining chats & DMs, and deactivated my account. SixPersistsBlue, my handle of old, is no more.
Why now, when I haven't logged on in months or posted in even longer? Dunno. Just felt right.

To those who are claiming that it'd be too cruel and extreme for the EU to cut off American tourist visas now (or to otherwise sanction or inconvenience us Americans in any way)....
You're REALLY not gonna like what happens if the madman Trump is permitted to set off a hot war with Europe.

My bible for my sci-fi romance series world is the size of a novel but building it has filled holes for me and given me a thorough understanding of the world. Much like other aspects of the craft, this sort of work improves your skills. If you cede it to gen AI, you don't develop those skills.

U.S. defense officials are saying 1,500 active-duty soldiers are on standby in Alaska for possible deployment to Minneapolis. That’s on top of the 3,000+ ICE agents already in the area.
We don’t really believe this is about undocumented immigrant crime in Minneapolis, do we?
