Very happy to have my new #shortstory published on The Write Launch. @thewritelaunch.bsky.social
"Ancient Ritual" is likely the closest I'll come to writing a love story but covers a range of emotions.

The agencies responsible for protecting you in extreme weather events were cut under Trump. In times of crisis, Trump will gladly leave you and your family at risk.

There are actually quite a few undocumented Russians in the US.
Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them?
Or just the brown people?

There really should be a moratorium on all “Republican holdout” stories from this point forward. Write about the Tooth Fairy instead so we can learn the latest on something more plausible.

I am glad to see an apparent thief criminally charged, but it’s more than a little ironic that the person entrusted to protect our homeland security can’t even safeguard her own purse.

Our neighbor to the North is lead by a brilliant economist, who is tough, but fair and decent.
Our neighbor to the South is lead by a brilliant engineer, who is tough, but fair and decent.
We are run by a total ignoramus who is flawed in every way a human being can be & is destroying our country.

Very excited that my latest #shortstory, "You Never Really Know Someone," will be published next week by The Bookends Review.
Will send a link when it is out. It's a fun little story conceived in an airport while people-watching.

I cannot overstate the importance of reading books, particularly novels by respected authors, for critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. If the big gun novelists don't interest you, start small and work your way up. Or read whatever interests you. Just read. Or listen. It's all books.

Liked Role Model's "Sally When the Wine Runs Out" heard on @altnation.bsky.social . Had a throwback Fleetwood Mac feel to me in the harmony.
Oddly, I never liked Fleetwood Mac all that much but really enjoyed this song!
