Well, it's officially the end of an era... And, I'm not surprised that Lemon8 got caught up in this... I think it was foolish to expect otherwise. #RIPtiktok

My laptop died last week. And, unfortunately, I am unable to afford to replace it at this time. Luckily my manuscript is backed up but it was more than just my work computer, it was what kept me sane.

When people lie to him.
Having spent his late adolescence preparing to follow in his surrogate father's footsteps, and his training from before his amnesia, and the years dedicated to the sheriff's office and being a private eye, he has developed the ability to read and know when someone is lying.

Depends on the moment, he's been trained in firearms since he was a kid, how to hunt and track, mountain climbing, and is now learning magic.

Not my main character, but his girlfriend's favorite book is IT by Stephen King. There is a scene where Dameon is recovering and Mellissa is reading it while sitting by his bedside.

Dameon has a little coffee shop named The Golden Pot, where he likes to sit and "people watch." It's run by a quirky Irish fella named Quinn O’Shea.

I knew a fun guy named Mycelium
Who tried to get high off of helium
His voice took a rip but he never did trip
Til he munched Inocybe coelestium

MMC - Ashley Dameon Hayes, anytime he says or thinks the word "fuck", he crosses himself as an act of contrition.
FMC - Mellissa Renee Jorgenson, she oddly enjoys her work as a crime scene cleaner.

Dameon, a man of Irish descent, has a head full of vibrant, curly crimson hair that is accentuated by the sharp contrast of his penetrating emerald green eyes. He is often dressed in a dark collared shirt, layered with a grey button-down vest and black pressed slacks.

I keep hearing that you can see who people have blocked on here, but I have yet to actually see it... Am I missing something, or was that untrue?

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.
