Author, screenwriter, filmmaker, and solver of problems (usually my own, I’ll admit). Always happy to talk story with story-talkers. Always welcoming to under-represented voices, trans voices, etc. If I ran for office, my “party” would be Starfleet.

Yikes, this was the point where you figured doubling down would HELP?

I get it, you wanted to pick a lot of battles today, but maybe you picked too many.

It’s so fuckin’ weird how Trump and the Trumpettes keep pleading and begging and demanding he get a Nobel Peace Prize, and if they have to kill someone EVERY DAY to prove it, they will!

Fair enough. In play, we clown on each other.

Edward Martin III @edwardmartiniii.bsky.social · 1d

Ouch!

Admittedly, it irked me to see all the little white supremacy stickers downtown a couple years back.

Florence also has Stillwagon, which is a fine rumnasium!

Hey, if we're not gonna fact check, then what are we gonna do about those hundreds of children being raped daily in the White House by the President and his cadre of "people who snicker and partake, dude"?

Indie horror people are awesome, no lie!

Them: “I’m like a Rubik’s Cube…”

Me: “I can pry you apart with a screwdriver and re-assemble you in such a way that you’re aesthetically pleasing to me?”

Them: “Wait, what?!”

Would be good for someone starting out as a #podcaster, maybe!

Edward Martin III @edwardmartiniii.bsky.social · 4d

Anyone local to me (roughly, PDX) want this? Never used it. Had an idea, but meh.

Open to offers or trades.

The essays I used to write seem almost past-due lately, what with the badministration openly attacking the populace of the United States, but who knows?

I suppose I could go further back in my own history where I was a bit more chaotic/anarchistic, but weaponizing crazy people is bad ALL AROUND.

Edward Martin III @edwardmartiniii.bsky.social · 4d

Beats me at the moment. Where might one suggest? :)

DECADES ago, I used to publish little comic 'zines and as part of that, I had programmed my brain to keep an eye out for a cheap stretch-stapler. Well, now I finally have one!

So, what sort of 'zine ought I to do?

Every conversation with a MAGA moppet ends up with them announcing “Maybe I WANT to get fucked bad in the face. I have a RIGHT to get fucked in the face. And to fuck my kids and grandkids in their faces, too. As long as you DON’T want it to happen, I WANT IT TO HAPPEN!”

Sorry about yer face, buddy.

Biologists worldwide are both delighted and horrified, but we’ll figure it out. Big big thanks to my Deathbot 9000 for malfunctioning in such a great way!

If for no other reason, at least this.

The United States must fix its heart or die.

I like to start my day by checking in with the Astronomy Picture of the Day. I've so this for years. But they've stopped. The message on the APOD page reads: "Due to the lapse in federal government funding, NASA is not updating this website. We sincerely regret this inconvenience." #astro #astronomy

Edward Martin III @edwardmartiniii.bsky.social · 5d

Remembered and always inspiring.

Edward Martin III @edwardmartiniii.bsky.social · 5d

Yeah, fair point.

I came here to enjoy a focus on writing and filmmaking and connecting with other creatives…

…and ALSO, apparently monitor the downfall of the US. :/

But still writing. :)

Looks like I’m already following you, so yay!

Hi Gabriel, great to meet you!

Here are a couple of mine, too. Got a big series coming, but covers aren’t quite ready to share yet.
