Seven years of writing
Wow, what a year. I don't have to tell you it's been a struggle because it's almost certainly been a struggle for you too. I mean, I don't want to make assumptions, but... . Ahem. Moving on. Looking back to the start of last year, I was aiming…
Man, this takes me back... Fantasy Empires, 1993. Pulled out this bad boy yesterday. Still fun.
As someone who just lost their job, which can be done poorly by AI (which is good enough, apparently), other might find this interesting.

This is tomorrow! I'm inexplicably excited about this, most likely because it feels great to have my fiction out again.
I don't write as often as I'd like because of my anxiety but I'm trying to treat the anxiety as a form of excitement; it doesn't solve it but it helps. I'll do more if this lands.
Friday #BattleTech question, mainly because my first short story is being published in Shrapnel next week and I'm getting excited about it.
What's your favourite #Battlemech? I've always been partial to a Cataphract myself. I just like the vibe of its design.
Congrats on the publication; and, Mad Dog, all the way!
How Much It Costs to Run a Literary Journal – 2025

We also pay taxes, which means we're subsidizing our own salaries.
That's a lol
I've worked with and around too many PhD holders to automatically respect them. Earning a PhD is certainly an accomplishment, but it doesn't mean they have good judgement, a solid work ethic, or any sort of moral compass.
Influencers on TikTok and other social media platforms are going back to recession-era recipes for nutritious and filling food — and building new communities online.
It warms the heart.
Hm, yes, harsh lessons are the best learned. Save often is the only way.
Hats off to The Alien Trilogy soundtrack performed by Cliff Eidelman and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. It includes music from the first three ALIEN movies and they've done a great job of it. Brilliant album.
I'm listening to it while I work so I'm getting the energy from all three films.
Man, you look like I feel.
“GUYS INTERNET IS COOKED Wtf do i do without discord and spotify im extremely bored, i cant even work google drive is down,” is the most now statement ever.
It's my birthday today. I'm 54.
For my birthday this year I'd like you to visit my Farsight Games shop!
(Get their attention, sell something. I've nailed this manipulative media stuff).

I missed it! Ah well, I can still throw a wrench into the works today.
Weaponized geese. A brilliant but risky move by the Canadian Armed Forces. Let's not give them tanks, though: they're lethal enough as is.

The cost of accountability is effective bureaucracy. Decisions are made, records kept, and history judges.
Terrifyingly hopeful? Optimistically horrifying? Definitely fascinating.
