Due to their aggressive pushing of AI & not giving authors a chance to opt out, I've unpublished my books from amazon.

I started membership tiers on Ko-Fi to compensate, so if you wanna support me, this is your chance!

In a small flicker of good news. Vet called. I finally had enough money to get the cat back to the vet to biopsy her nose.

Not cancer.

French Fry just had a crusty nose due to an overproduction of keratin.

When something keeps happening, such as mass shootings, and the powers-that-be are unable to respond effectively to the situation due to institutional corruption (legal bribery), that's a failed state.

Pat Loller is an influencer I follow who has had some amazing videos speaking from the perspective of a veteran who was deployed as a medic in Afghanistan.

He also writes fantasy books, apparently.

It's been obvious since the murder of (licensed-carrying Black man) Philando Castile that white men's power over life, death, and everyone else's bodies was more important to the NRA than the 2nd amendment they claim to hold sacred.
Today had best be when their last shred of relevance burns to ash.
