Hello everyone. They say that you need a social media presence, so this is my first post. I don't even know how to use this platform yet. Following advice, I thought that I would spread the word on my newly published work and let Bluesky know that I am not a bot with a first post
A new beginning: my website and Substack are live. I’ll be sharing the making of The Anankē Threshold — a mythic science fiction novel — and other work in progress.

Just reached out to WingNut & WB re: The Silmarillion adaptation. Offered consulting grounded in Tolkien’s epic roots—wyrd, exile, heroic fate. If they aim for gravitas over gloss, I’m ready.

The Jewish community is in pain. Antisemitism is surging and it’s mostly met with silence. Eric Ward of Race Forward is right. Antisemitism doesn’t just threaten Jews, it destabilizes Democracy itself. Don’t be silent.

San Diego residents force ICE out of their neighborhood.
These ICE thugs know how much shame they bear for their cruel and unconstitutional actions, which is why they don't show their faces. 😡

This is what is coming if the big BILL passes it’s part of project 2025 remember when 47 said “vote for me, this will be the last time you will have to vote because it will all be fixed beautifully”

My daughter's first concert - got to meet the singer of the Italian dark wave band Kirlian Camera, Elena Fossi, tonight. It's now her favourite band and I wouldn't be surprised if my 12-year-old goes goth soon.

For those who missed it, Lyons wants to handle deportations like Amazon handles packages. Let that sink in.
I think it's very important to note that when you want to run human misery like a business--a business based on rounding up people to ship them to a country they aren't from to work in forced labor camps--you're a slaver.

I’m old enough to remember when I took out a full-page ad in the New York Times last fall to publish a letter signed by 225 mental-health professionals saying that Trump’s severe personality disorders made him destructive and dangerous.

If you’re on #DisabilityBenefits, it’s ok to have hobbies, holidays, food deliveries, and so on. Benefits exist so disabled people can live safely, independently, with quality of life. Don’t let government rhetoric make you feel guilty for existing.
