"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Meade
TFW you go to modify some old code and you think, "Wait, this shouldn't work...

"HOW DOES THIS WORK?"

"DID I WRITE THIS? WAS I POSSESSED? WHAT IS REALITY?!"

You know when Wile E. Coyote crawls out from under a boulder and he's an accordion, or he's blown himself up and he's just a pile of ash with eyeballs on top? And then in the next scene he's fine? You never see the part where reconstitutes himself and gets back to normal.

That's where I'm at today.

As a GenXer, I want to take a moment to applaud Gen Alpha for driving everybody crazy with this "6-7" shit.

Don't know what it means. Don't care. But it's really bugging a lot of people way too much, and as a member of one of the original disruptive generations, I am here for that. Nice work.

I read a plaque in a secondhand store, this poem kind of, uh, popped out of me:

"My spirit soars on wings of love," a response:

Been thinking a lot lately about things that made us happy when we were kids, and I thought about how, while I'm technically a child of the 70s, I feel like I'm also a child of the 80s and 90s.

And I realized that one of GenX's greatest acts of rebellion was...

Just had to add the word "peckerheads" to my computer's dictionary. So, #writing is going well.

I want a Star Trek series that follows a group of people who believe in Starfleet's underlying ideals, but the more militaristic post-Dominion-War Starfleet has turned its back on them. Fate makes them a crew, and they make their way in a darker galaxy while trying to do good and uphold their ideals
I want a Star Trek series completely set on an alien ship, world, & crew. Ideally outside the Federation. Bring back practical sets with a huge makeup budget. Give me Tellarites, Benzites, or Tamarians and give them the 1 token human character or crewman (not the captain).
I want a Star Trek series that follows a crew that gets transported to a new galaxy with no hope of getting back to the Federation or Starfleet. It's not just another quadrant like in Voyager but an whole new galaxy. 🖖

#writing Bluesky can't do polls, so I'll just ask: Do you work on only one project at a time?

1. One at a time. Any other projects get locked in a drawer until the current one is finished.

2. Mostly one project, occasionally dipping into others.

3. I never know which project I'm going to work on!

#DeathofSuperman #DC Another thing I forgot is that in the final issue, no pages are divided into panels - every page is a single panel, which is an amazingly cinematic effect. And then of course, that final gatefold:
