#author, shenaniganizer, martial artist. Generally good guy. Still woke. Still supports DEI. Curses a lot. No longer looks good even in black and white photos.

Travel to the remote reaches of the galaxy where the virt drinks are incredible, gangsters keep the peace, you'll wake up in a different body, and the alien space station isn't as abandoned as you think.

One of my dogs, looking like she's about to tell a story about boosting cars in the '30s.

Remember: To Trump, the only truth is what's rattling around in his mushy, fading brain.

Wake up in a stranger's body, stuck on an abandoned alien space station with a simple quest: Find out why the previous body owner deleted her mind.
Then things get weird...

Hey, @democrats.org. It's time to get your shit together and coalesce a message. You have plenty of things to hammer on, but you need to provide your own solutions, too.

"Cruelty has an ugly face and a boring name that he wants to #sear into the flesh of our world so we won't forget him. But don't worry, we'll remember even after we wipe him away when his bloated corpse finally collapses."

Lips #seared shut lest we invoke the wrath of the beast. Sing his undeserved praises for he wields power like a cudgel, ready to beat down anyone who shows disloyalty.

"A #heartfelt message to all the sleazeballs, sickos, and demented bastards out there: Go the fuck away. We don't like you, we don't need you, and we don't want you here. Go climb back under a rock."

"My #heartfelt message is there's only two things wrong with you: Everything you say and everything you do. You may only be a symptom of a diseased country, but you're doing everything you can to spread that sickness around."

"Look, bruh, language isn't rough, dig? It goes from #wonky - where shit's just a little unstable - to wonk-ass - where shit's about to jump off - to wonked-up - where shit's fucked."
"And where are we now on this scale of yours?"
"Wonked in the ass."

"Do you shuffle through your sham of a life with a grumble and a #stoop? Have you forgotten your dreams after being kicked into the gutter? Is the pain of living in a dumpster behind a 7/11 too much to bear? Good. That means the system is working as intended."

I prefer to do things haphazardly rather than #slapdash. Slapdash takes too much effort.

It's amazing to me that congressional Republicans were so spineless as to let Cpt Dipshit get away with everything because they were worried about repercussions.
Like, OH NOES, he'll say mean things about me on Twitter!!!
