#Steampunk lovers, meet the Twins of Bellesfées:
One's a scientific genius, one's sometimes a wolf, but both make 1842 France a mad adventure with ghosts, vampires, mad scientists, and a bit of romance.

A lovely review! Like vampires? How about automatons? a little bit of political intrigue? 19th century France? It's all here, and more... like romance and luuuurrve ❤️

GDT's Frankenstein: Reminds me of an old Python sketch. "It's your affair if you want to play tennis with five people, but don't go calling it doubles!"
This isn't Frankenstein. It's a sweet story about a monster who forgives his creator for abandoning him to die in flames. Call it something else.

I've been using Cheech and Chong's gummies for pain reduction and sleep. The continuing resolution has just banned hemp products with THC or CBN. I don't know what I will do after my supply runs out in 5 months. I'm hoping this addendum will be challenged and overturned.

I am saddened that Heinlein's word of the '60s has now become a touchstone for the MAGA world of stupid. Couch-loving VPOTUS is such an idiot. He can't even grok the word Grok.

Consider structuring story with ‘plot inversion’
Several variations of a standard plot (inciting incident-rising action-climax-falling action-denouement) exist in storytelling. One you might use is called a plot inversion. This type of story…

#SCOTUS
Here’s a thought: SNAP recipients surround the SCOTUS while Democrats bring them food.
Nah. That’s just a n excuse for them to point and say, “See? They don’t need SNAP when somebody is bound to feed ‘em. Not us, mind you. Not our job.”
Still, a soup line outside the White House?
