CW: torture & bodily mutilation

From my FIRST book: Protectors' Promise
A military fantasy exploring empire as it turns upon itself.

#writingprompt #writesky #booksky #lowfantasy #writingcommunity
Screenshot of narrative text on black background describing a violent interrogation scene. The passage begins with the italicized name 'Anticlea' and describes a character named Haidarum interrogating a woman who attempts to escape. When she wrenches her left hand free and tries to lift herself from a chair, she discovers her right hand has been severed. The graphic text details her injury with the word 'bansheelike' underlined in red. The scene continues with observers watching silently as she bleeds, with the antagonist appearing to enjoy her suffering and intending to let her die while forcing others to watch.

The Company campus has closed seemingly overnight, the churning of the steel plant silenced. Something is terribly wrong, and Laetitia knows it...

Today's #WIPSnips #writingprompt is "week"!

Screenshot of narrative text describing a character named Laetitia entering a dark office suite. The text details her discovering the electricity is cut, navigating the dim space, and finding her desk drawer emptied of years of employment documents including employee records and personal information. The word 'week' appears highlighted in gold/yellow. The passage conveys a sense of dread and urgency as she realizes she needs to leave immediately.

The inner-progressive imprisoned in John Fetterman's lizard brain threw him down those stairs, and I won't hear otherwise.

Pushing past needed breaks until my process breaks down. Tend to have a lot of unnecessary cleaning up to do and should've just taken a walk or something.

Weak leadership can't cross the line no matter your excuse.

If this is serious, there will be consequences down then line. Unfortunately, Dickhead Durbin, Schumer's Whip in the Senate, defected to break the shutdown, so I think we all already know what will really come of this.

Nothing.

Chuck Schumer is getting the blame, but is not responsible. He is taking the heat for the many other democrats who wanted to cave weeks ago. Schumer, managed to hold all the weak senators together until after the election… there is a reason exactly 8 senators flipped & 2 are not seeking reelection.

This is #Schumer Democrat's #2: Dick Durban.

The MINORITY WHIP of the Senate voted for the GOP #shutdown to end against the wishes of the majority of Democratic constituencies.

Coincidence that Schumer can't control his top dog or a sloppy attempt to maneuver by dinosaur politicians?

#recall
Circular profile photograph of Dick Durbin, an older US Senator with gray hair wearing a dark suit, shown from shoulders up against a blurred background. Below the photo is text reading 'Dick Durbin, Illinois, Retiring after term ends' followed by a quote: 'This bill is not perfect, but it takes important steps to reduce their (GOP's) shutdown's hurt.'

Well, well, well... if we aren't right back here again.

It is time to #recall every single Democrat who doesn't have the spine to stand up for the health, safety, and opportunity of all Americans.

The #ShamefulEight and their leader, #Schumer, must go.

The meeting is afoot, machinations of the times gearing up.

The #WIPSnips word of the day is "local"

Check out this scene from my WIP: Where The Battle Is

#WriteSky #WritingPrompt #WritingCommunity #OC #Readsky #Fiction #resist
This image shows a text excerpt from what appears to be a dystopian or speculative fiction novel. The text is displayed in white sans-serif font on a dark background. The passage depicts a disturbing meeting where officials discuss authoritarian policies. It begins with a vulgar interjection followed by a bureaucrat's speech denouncing "un-Americans" and their supposed threat to the nation's legal and moral frameworks. The speaker condemns communism, liberalism, and "debauchery," receiving applause from those assembled. The discussion then turns to the "Virginia Papers" and laws that have made it easier to remove "outsiders and vermin from society." A character named Mrs. Hale describes a humanitarian crisis: fifty million people detained in camps across the Midwest and South, with collapsing prison systems and inadequate resources. The excerpt concludes with Major General Lilly, commander of the Fourteenth Expeditionary Division, proposing a "solution" - suggesting violence against detainees. He mentions operations in Nuevo León (a Mexican state) dealing with "undesirable elements among the local population" using tactics from "the cartel manual." The text depicts fascistic rhetoric, dehumanizing language, mass detention, and implied genocide, presenting a chilling portrait of authoritarian governance and human rights violations.

Is the US government trying to autocoup via military mutiny?

Honestly, seems like a natural end after 100 years of doing it to everyone else.

Everytime someone posts a picture of a sandwich I stop scrolling immediately and just stare longingly

Most cities (including my own) have entire departments devoted to ensuring these exact populations are identified and taken care of in accordance with their needs.

ABQ Senior Affairs Dept.provides meals, domestic help, transport services, etc. using municipal bonds.

Socialism works.

i dont understand why at a state level they cant send a check to who ever receives snap?

do they not have a list of who receives what?

i feel that giving money to food banks just leaves room for error.

how are the disabled going to get there? the elderly?

Met this bird...

Close-up photograph of a wattled crane's head showing its distinctive features: gray-blue plumage, striking bright orange eye with black pupil, and prominent dark reddish-purple wattles (fleshy growths) hanging from its face and neck. The bird's long, pointed beak is visible in the foreground, and the background is softly blurred with warm autumn colors.

Another bit from my WIP: Where The Battle Is.

#writingprompt #writingcommunity #oc #art #writesky #booksky
A passage from a speculative fiction novel depicting an interaction between two characters - Kira, who works as a bartender, and Major Tythe, a military officer. The scene takes place in what seems to be a military or colonial setting where Kira is working in a dance hall bar. The passage shows tension between the characters as Major Tythe inquires about Kira's injured leg and mentions someone named Ruthersford, who apparently "went after the commandant." Kira responds professionally but neutrally, maintaining her role as a bartender while deflecting the Major's seemingly personal interest in her. The writing style suggests this is from a space opera or military science fiction setting, with references to ranks, social standing, and what appears to be a colonial or outpost environment. The interaction hints at underlying conflicts or drama involving the commandant and Ruthersford that Kira is deliberately avoiding discussing.

Some thoughts for today on a century of interventionism.

Thanks for reading and enjoy!

#readsky #news #resist #commentary #writingcommunity #oc
A page from 'The Progressive Polemic' titled 'HELL IS WHERE THE HEART IS' features a black and white historical photograph showing military tanks and soldiers in combat. The image depicts the Cuban counterattack near Playa Giron during the Bay of Pigs invasion, with smoke and explosions visible. Yellow caption text reads: 'For US and Allies, nuclear saber-rattling and interventionism go hand-in-hand. (Photo: Cuban counterattack near Playa Giron, Cuba during Bay of Pigs invasion. By: Rumlin, WikiMedia Commons).' Below the image is text reading 'Billions gambled. Millions dead. Profits protected.' followed by article text discussing nuclear testing, international conflict, and historical instances of military intervention including the Korean War. The page header shows 'danwoodswriter.com' in the top right corner.
