??? Who still thinks he or anyone who supports him cares about the constitution, what laws say, or what they themselves have committed to in the past? I’ll say one thing though: dude has set out to do EVERYTHING he’s said he’d do. All the shitty stuff, anyway.

What I found when I lifted up the curtain this morning. #cat
Two cats, a black cat and a tortie, snuggling in the sunshine and looking at the camera. Two cats snuggling in sunshine. One of them is licking his chops.

I know I don’t have much reach here yet, but if you live in North Portland (OR, USA) and you like Phở, you should check out Sassy Souk’s on N Lombard & N Haven. Their food is awesome, the owners are super friendly, and they gave me discounts during the PAT teacher’s strike last year. ❤️ #pdx

Today, I like this bit of pre-battle banter from my short story, The Steam Legion. It was a really fun project which required a lot of one of my favorite things: research into the Roman world of Late Antiquity.
I said nothing. I’m not a talkative man. I’m a farmer’s son from Illyria. I can’t quote heroic speeches or recite psalms. I learned long ago that a deep breath and a moment of silence work better to still my jitters than any amount of babble. Canus, however, wasn't the same. “Did you have second squad oil their joints?” he asked, flexing the fingers of his gauntlets. I couldn’t see his face, of course—the steel helmets are almost fully enclosed, resembling those of Greek warriors of bygone centuries. Canus was staring forward over the bow, rocking slightly from side to side, the joints of his armor hissing occasionally as it worked to match and amplify his movements. The deck creaked under him. “Yes, hekatontarch,” I said. “What about fourth squad?” he asked. “Did they draw replacement spathae? The amount of breakage in that squad—I don’t know what they’re doing. It’s like they think they’re carrying axes instead of swords.” “Maybe we should just give them axes,” I suggested, then took another deep, slow breath. “Maybe they should stop being a bunch of wild barbarians,” he snapped. Fourth squad was largely made up of men who’d grown up on the Rhein frontier: you had to know a fair amount of Germanic to play dice with them. They were good soldiers, though. Everyone in the Legion was. “Would you like to pray, hekatontarch?” I asked mildly. “To whom?” Canus said. “My father, he was a Christian, and I thought that was the way I’d always worship, you know? But now we march under Jupiter-blessed Julian Augustus, in armor forged by a man who prays to Hephaestus, and not once have we lost a battle. I’ve wondered many times what my father would say.” “Not once have we lost a battle,” I repeated. “Why should that change tonight?” “Careful,” Canus said. “Rome’s history is rife with the corpses of men who thought that way. Did we not pass Carrhae mere months ago? I’ve no wish for my head to serve as a theater prop for the Shahanshah.” I smiled. “Nor I, hekatontarch.”

Why does pretending that I’m a soulless cog in a galaxy-spanning corporate machine which may or may not be trying to infect me with chest-bursting alien embryos somehow help with my mental health? Probably the coffee is most of it.

introduce yourself with
one book
one movie
one album
one tv show
Cover of JRR Tolkien’s “The Silmarillion”, depicting the first of the Eldar awakening by the shores of Cuivienen in the First Age. “Prey” movie poster, depicting the protagonist, Naru, armed with a stone axe, facing off against a Predator (a huge alien hunter). Album cover of “Apex” by Unleash the Archers; it depicts a fantastical mountainous landscape in which a massive stone statue (or possibly a dead giant) lies against a rocky spire, seemingly partially absorbed into the landscape; a bird of prey flies high overhead. Photo shoot of the Season 1 “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” main cast, all in poses and facial expressions subtly suggestive of their characters’ attitudes and inner lives (for example, Captain Sisko has a little smile, and one hand on his son Jake’s shoulder, evoking warmth, support, and protection).

I'm Craig. I write SFF & play games & watch movies. Sometimes I share things I write, & comment on other people's political posts. Lefty, he/him, double cat dad. I am eager to learn about and oppose systemic injustice wherever it takes root. I am comfortable with being a work in progress.

Here’s my cats (and also me).
A bearded man holding a sleepy tortoiseshell cat. A black cat lying on a bed with his paws stretched way out in front of him. A black cat lying on his back with his paws in various ridiculous positions as he stares at the camera.
