I think most people who care about injustice have one person in mind (consciously or not) who they wish they could reach, make understand why what is going on is wrong. Fixing them, making them understand, will make it better.

Oh man, it must suck to have your contributions to a project ignored on such a massive stage.
Reminds me that time when some guy made a movie about the ingenious plan a bunch of Canadian officials made to smuggle US embassy personnel out of Iran, but the movie credited the CIA for the plan instead.

Ben Affleck Says ‘Argo’ Oscar Snub for Best Director Was ‘Massive Embarrassment’
'Argo' won the Oscar for best picture but Ben Affleck didn't even get nominated for best director. He says it was a 'massive embarrassment.'

What's something you hated as a kid but like now? Brussels Sprouts have clearly applied themselves and made great progress. I like 'em!

Laura Keating's book, The Truest Sense, is an anthology of short horror stories that range anywhere from mild enough a second grader would be safe reading the story to so twisted that it could play havoc with one's dreams depending on how sensitive that person is, thus quite possibly forcing them to leave the light on at night.
The Truest Sense delves into many different aspects of a person's psyche, many times forcing the readers to take a [sic] step back from what they read so they can ground themselves in reality once again, and take a moment to say "This is only make believe. This is ONLY make believe," While the reder is aware what they have read is fiction, it's written in such a way, some of the stories are difficult to distinguish between fiction and reality.
Ms. Keating's style of writing is rather slow, putting her more along the lines of Stephen King, with the way she tends to describes everything when summing the situation up in a few words would be better, but then half the story would disappear.
For those that love a great campfire or Halloween ghost story, The Truest Sense is the perfect collection of stories to take along.These stories aren't horror just to be gruesome horror, these are horror in The Truest Sense, and that can be so much worse.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:q7mzefsqqfjosq43isvpa4cm/bafkreic3pkpdgiq23qusfwg5th3z2c7fmmgyzotvb7tbjp5im7wmzgflaa@jpeg)

As I'm sure you're aware, the fifth of January is the day of the Schnabelperchten, a creature of Austrian folklore who will check your house for cleanliness. If they decide you haven't done a good enough job, they'll slit open your belly and fill it with straw. Happy New Year..!
