Honored to share this review of my 2nd poetry collection Mutants, from Mary L Schmidt. Please check it out, and consider picking up one of her books. I enjoyed a couple of them; she's got something for everyone!! #writingcommunity #poetry #authors #poems #reviews

Mutants 5.0 out of 5 stars, Meaningful. Format: Kindle This book for poetry is immersion. The manner in which it is composed gives pause and feeling to the written words. Moving poetry is always a good thing and Mr. Aikin has accomplished that throughout this book.

The first year that Trump was in office, I sent Melania a message, urging her to read this book. Clearly, the country would be in a better place had she read it and then acted on the advice it gave. Still available at AMAZON.

A lawless course
Unpredictable
In direction and force
Creating a ripple
In space and time
As I give chase
The path distorts
For an unmapped sphere
This bouncy ball

Go team guillotine.
Criminal proceedings and punishment are 100% necessary or they will emerge again. Once they realize their actions aren't consequence free, and their heads aren't hard to separate from their bodies, will they understand that we're not dealing with this bullshit any longer.

He absolutely should step aside. Anyone with ties to a criminal pedophile ring should not have anything to do with humans.

The truth will eventually all come out. These people have already disgraced the country and the children.

also, to reinforce my point from earlier, I published The Drowned Heir in 2022, and I am delighted that it is continuing to find new readers.

That's the whole POINT with books; they'll be there.

your reminder that The Drowned Heir is a #SFINCS finalist, and the ebook is on sale for $2.99! There's also a hardcover.

Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Make sure everyone sees this then. The FCC apparently changed its “equal time” rule on talk shows to make it hard for Colbert or The View to air interviews with candidates like Talarico. Video link in comments.

Same haha 🤣

I don’t think that the financially well-off can understand how we’ve built lives outside of money.

Their lives revolve around it. Ours *cannot* when we’re paycheck to paycheck. So we build community, support systems.

Their pathological greed blinds them, makes them scared and weak.
