I feel like I ought to mention for anyone just finding me: I don't consider myself "leftist", or anything like that. Many might find a lot of what I think/post left-leaning, and that's fine.
But I prefer the lens of "see a problem, find a solution." No sides; this isn't a sport. That said...

THREAD: It was supposed to be a routine surgery. So when the doctor stepped out, Sandra Parker wasn’t sure she heard right.
Her husband’s heart couldn’t have stopped for more than 5 or 6 minutes, the doctor was saying.
“That’s not a lot of time,” Mrs. Parker thought. “Is it?”

Writing advice I sometimes find helpful, which I heard many years ago (and no longer remember the source):
"Sometimes you have to start with shit. It is the fertilizer that makes the flowers grow."

An interesting bit of Comic History I learned today was that in 1999, during a time when the X-Men were dominating the sales charts like never before, they were "dethroned". Not by Batman or Spider-Man, but by Lara Croft.
In 1999, *Tomb Raider* comics actually outsold X-Men.

I made $125K in 2022, mostly due to Political work. I might not break $30K this year. And yet I was a finalist for Voice Actor of the Year from the Reed Awards for the best in Political. I'm a master of my craft, at the top of my game.
My profession is DYING. I'm looking for a side hustle.

The only reason we have comfort stretch technology - or whatever the fuck some sweatshop multinational wants to call it - is because nothing is tailored anymore. Pass it on.
