I was born back in the 1950s and don't want to end my days back in the 1950s again. It's now or never, folks. #NoKings #Bellingham

When the new Trumpist authoritarian regime gets us riled up, angry, scared, defensive, it might be a good idea to keep in mind what John Lennon once said:

"Once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor.”

Here's a more refined image of a trio of young devils, Tomás Coyotl Gremory and his twin sisters, Hela and Vela, who are protagonists in my fan fiction novel "The Desert Trio", a multicultural adaptation of the "High School DxD" anime universe. Posted online at archiveofourown.org/works/51816352

How do we make Bluesky more than another boring meme-based social media platform? Let's start some conversations! I'll start with a question: How can artists, writers, musicians and other creators bypass the stranglehold of big media companies, so that we find our audiences and they find us?

Meet Tomás Coyotl Gremory, the main protagonist in my fanfiction novel "The Desert Trio." Based on the Japanese Anime series High School DxD. Tomás is a young rascal from a clan of supernatural Mexican devils from the California Desert. Read it online here: archiveofourown.org/works/51816352

Today in 1963 is they day they shot President Kennedy. That was the day when a lot of kids in my "Boomer" generation, those among us who had not already been been harmed by society's injustices, started - at first subconsciously - to doubt the rightness of the world that our elders had built.

Creating works of art and literature is similar to working a magic ritual or getting in touch with one's psychic abilities. The less you think about how it might benefit you socially or materially, and the more you focus on doing it for its own internally-fulfilling sake, the better it works.

To Feed or not to Feed, that is the question, whether 'tis nobler in the pit of thy stomach to face the slings and arrows of an outrageous profile, or to take up arms against a sea of trolls, and by opposing become one of them. (Somebody finish this...)

Well, I need top post something, so here's an original art piece of mine, "Fey Mask." Thoughts?

OK, so we're all on Bluesky now. What can we do to make this a unique platform, a positive cut above the pit-fighting that passes for conversations on FB and X?

Hello, I just joined BlueSky! My name is David and I'm best described as a creative dilettante who creates what he wants when he wants to. Feel free to respond!
