We #measured our time in days #remembering good times and bad.

Happy Veterans Day to all who served.

The #laws of nature crippled and ignored by corporations and the rich. Their legacy: survival mode for those of the near future.

Our destiny teeters, #knowing the endless battering from the #creepy rot within will continue grifting and gaslighting us into obliteration.

We glide on the wings of perseverance knowing the #verve of kindness, #omnipresent, carries with it the power to heal.

Advanced #bionics has a place in human development and so does AI. But sometimes we need a safeguard #parachute since our science often outpaces our ability to apply technologies evenly.

The cascading water brings stories gathered from nature pooling into the calm below.

If we could listen, what would they tell us?

At the risk of making a #rash decision I figured I may as well make some #noise and post my Coverfly stats.

I was around 8 and lived in the country when I found the end of a #rainbow. I ran for it, the leaves were colored with a soft glow and I dove in, certain I’d found the gold.

Nothing there… I was bummed for about a week.

True story.

A functioning society needs #rules to, you know, function.

But there’s another group living outside the rules. We know them as the rich, the ones that thrive on #adulation. They see rules as kinda squishy, more like a suggestion. So here we are…

He #scowls, the grimace exposes an empty soul within. His #efficacy, perceived revenge and the suffering of others. Everything he touches dies.

When I think of #mischief I picture an xtra large diaper worn by the golf cart rider sprinkled with ground, super hot Carolina Reaper peppers. An #anniversary on #point, not soon forgotten.

If only we could #hum away all these ridiculous bots that never tire of peddling absurdity.

“Hi friend, how are you doing today. Do you desire a chat?”

No I don’t!

Civilization crumbles when its people no longer act civilized. Its no #happenstance, its where we are. The #burlesque of hypocrisy.

The letter was short, but each word felt like an anvil against his chest. He pressed it to his cheek, moistened by a #tear.

Our future clings to the #concept of #promise, and there are still more good people than bad. It’s like we’re on stilts, wobbly but moving.

The sweet #aroma of #wisteria, a #wave of fresh air on a quiet morning walk. It’s vanishing, fouled by lies and corruption-the plague that will smother us all.

Packed in cages they tried to #evoke memories of a past when #innocence and basic decency were presumed. Masked goons watched them suffer in blind service to the soulless.

Excited to see Little Cowboys advance to Semi-Finalist at The Golden Script Competition for 2025.

And I’m still a contender for Finalist. 🤞

They were just #boxers, packing stuff up and filling orders. But when they got home they were jerked from their car and disappeared cuz they weren’t white enough to fit into the new government profile.

I scroll this #space of near magic decorated with all your thoughts and illustrations of forests, sunrises and the warmth of togetherness. This #conflict will be #defeated and these moments will not be lost.

Honored to see my period script Little Cowboys awarded Finalist at Los Angeles Int’l Summer 2025 Awards. What a #moment.
