Life and decision-making are actually easier if you have a strong moral core instead of being an ethical weathervane

Tánaiste Simon Harris this evening asked if he'd delete his X account in light of the creation and sharing of non-consensual sexualised images of children and women on Grok, says he'll have to reflect on it.

Grad students NEVER laugh with me when I tell them about my extremely awesome idea to bring a weathervane to a conference about the traditional Catholic theology of gender, but honestly I could take this show on the road, visit some provosts in Texas.

Glad the FT is asking the question. Even if I’m not convinced they found a compelling answer.
I get that Starmer & Reeves are unpopular, I really don’t understand the extent of the dislike.

Yeah. Ro Khanna seems like a good weathervane here since his district includes SV. Of late he seems far more willing to piss off the tech bros.

#WIPSnips #home #writing #amwriting #western #horror #fiction #wip Sunsetter - continuing the tale of an ancient evil in the wilds of the west; #sequel to the #novel Weathervane.
*a homecoming... for some.
#books #booksky #writingcommunity #booklovers
The land had a similar familiarity to my eyes having lived eleven years in the region, but that time seemed so long ago that any attachments I entertained were self-induced thoughts of comfort. The reality is I had little recollection of anything before the night my father came home. That critical moment in time had banished any joy from my heart that my childhood could have conjured. While our journey may have been a homecoming of sorts, for both Maddie and McTavish, my affections for the land did not run so deep and caused me to wonder, ‘where is my home? ‘Was my home Setters Manor? Was it in the darkened catacombs that lay beneath?’ I found no solace in these thoughts. Though I had at one time embraced the place of my rearing, now, in the real world, it was not a place that my emerging mind would call home. excerpt from #wip Sunsetter by Ross McDermott

*Percival - the man behind the mask
#books #booksky #writingcommunity #booklovers
Percival spun to glare at Maddie. He knew what she had just done. I saw with fascination the man’s façade crumble. His calm face twisted in rage, turning flush with the blood of his wrath. He raised his hand, curling his fingers to a fist, then stopped the pending strike just a moment before he let it fall. Caught, it had been, to freeze in the air, snatched by just one word: “Don’t,” I whispered, voice raspy dry, scraping with the thirst. Percival’s face once again regained that leathered calm. His eyes glistened with false empathy as I saw now. He was no longer the calm, caring man. In my eyes he was now the grand deceiver, a master of his craft. His spells came with his words and the way in which he spoke them. His eyes and expressions mesmerized, but more than just a witch was he. The man was a thespian, a player on a dark stage forever bowing low to that final curtain call. excerpt from #wip Sunsetter by Ross McDermott

*a reunion, a communion, dancing in the abstract for a moment in time...
#books #booksky #writingcommunity #booklovers
It was, for a moment, in the forest of Follows Drifting Feather that I felt I had found grace. She soothed me with soft thoughts and calmed my anxious heart with assurances of her well-being, despite the attack of the top-hat man. She reached up and touched my face, gazing at the darkness of the mask around my eyes, lightly touching my crooked nose, whispering she could ‘fix it.’ We danced in the light. Our melding twirled as a drifting feather, in a warm, airy breeze, surrounded by the dark on an empty dance floor. We glistened bright in that darkness and danced alone, Drifting Feather and I, and found in the calm of our communion an effervescent spring of soothing bubbles, where the darkness of the dance floor around us mattered not. excerpt from the #wip Sunsetter by Ross McDermott

“The night has come to me, no need to chase it, and as we Sunsetters tend to do at night: I wait.”
~ Francis Morgan Slayter, Sunsetter
My wait came to an end with the rising light of the moon and the shadows of fingers that crept from the dark forest to tickle the glowing light of my fire. My wait came to an end when the pale apparition of a child suddenly appeared hovering feet above the ground to dart among the pine boughs and streak around the perimeter of my camp. My wait came to and end when the voice erupted in the night, shaking the ground and causing the very air to tremble: “Sunsetter!” It bellowed, starting as a growl and rising in crescendo. excerpt from #wip Sunsetter by Ross McDermott

small drawing from ca 2014
ballpoint pen drawing showing a dreamlike landscape. We see a rickety structure with a weathervane, among wild plants, atop a lake covered in lilypads. in the water beneath the lilypads are fish swimming. The weathervane reads S Ø V N which is the cardinal directions but also can spell out the Danish word for "sleep" (noun)

*a #thread of hope...
#books #booksky #read #writingcommunity
The irony of the story of Noah, the name of Noah, was but just another blow to my mind, which I admit felt heavy – under siege – all day. I was mourning. Mr. Andrews had dissolved into the grey and had not returned to my calls and though I clung to a fragile thread of hope, my sorrow hung precarious and heavy at the end. That ember of shame I had stored in my heart glowed hot as the morning had progressed, and the death masks of Cyril and Rebecca haunted my thoughts like vengeful ghosts. excerpt from the #novel Weathervane - a tale of ancient evil in the wilds of the west. by Ross McDermott. cover of the #novel Weathervane cover design by Emma McDermott.

i think some view him as a weathervane for the Median Voter's opinions and whether that's true or not (imo it isn't), i feel like there are other, much more useful heuristics to focus on

*One would think the word #sun would be plentiful in my #wip Sunsetter, and guess what? It is!
#dreamscape I've tried to grab a snippet not previously posted... but tbh I'm not sure. #Enjoy!
*Francis tries to sleep
“You should sleep little man. You have not rested in days.” She opened up the slot again and directed me to look. I frowned at her, feeling the jab of the “little man” taunt, but complied with her request. I saw the pre-dawn sky, appearing as bruised as it did on the evening past, but the light was in the east and a penciled line of gold was shimmering across the horizon. I felt my mind let go in that moment, as my eyes chased that golden hue. My exhaustion took hold and as Maddie had recommended, I found and unfolded a cot that was shoved behind a desk and without removing my winter gear, collapsed on the expanse of cold canvas. I slept. *** …and sleep escapes me on this night, I toss and turn and wonder: is that the dawn of morning light? Is that the sound of thunder?... The weathervane. The head of the goat, spinning in flaring tendrils of small flames, etched upon the iron, the black inverted star framed in a circle of the serpent, swallowing its tail. The face of the fallen drifted and flashed then melted and moulded long to drip on a field of white, the black of the iron turning blood-red and staining all I could see. A spinning and a swirl and my dreamscape becomes a landscape, a rolling horizon of cotton-grass hills, rocks and shrubs, sedges and lichen, darkened to a shadow, while the final dip of a falling sun sets the sky ablaze… *** I awake to the light of day streaming in through the open jailhouse door. I squint my eyes to see better in the glare of morning sun and catch a mirage of Maddie leading her horse past the opening. excerpt from the #wip Sunsetter by Ross McDermott

*Rosco tests the rage of Mr. Jebadiah Stoll
Now, I’m not one to boast but I’m pretty fast, slow to anger, yes, but quick to fight and fast on the draw. I can honestly say I’ve never met anyone faster. I’m particularly nimble when startled. So needless to say, this phantom’s dance and the way it preyed on poor old Ted, well, it did a little more than startle me. It pretty much pulled my pistol for me, but somehow the ghoul was faster. ‘… silver in the breech!’ He was gone before I could pull the trigger. I swear my finger twitched! I almost cried out but bit my tongue. Then I felt the weight of the mountain, crushing me from above, down against the dusty ground. Jebadiah had awakened and seeing his mentor, his ‘god of the steppe,’ suddenly in peril from the very silver he provided, collapsed upon me with all his might then pummeled me relentlessly with his heavy, fisted hams. I saw nothing and felt nothing after three hard blows to the head, and I’m guessing in some ways that was a mercy, as when I awoke the raging of his fists still echoed in all of my bones. It seems I never learn not to dance so close with death. from the #novel Weathervane by Ross McDermott

Mind you, the LCH contract itself is just a weathervane to assess how capable Austal will be to accommodate a prospective construction of up to eight 06FFM aka Upgraded Mogami at the facility.

Personally I'd suggest officials need to look at significant action across Henderson.

I’ve always been what amounts to a emotional weathervane. I pick up on peoples emotions like one couldn’t believe. Necessary skill when I was young. The holidays, Man. People are stress monsters. Remember to take it easy where you can. That stuff one imagines is so important likely isn’t. Not really
