Hush now, child
That creepy sense of urgency that came to a head in November is well on its way to being dispelled—let’s call it a Saturnalian miracle.

Wouldn't it be cool if the partial files being released are unredacted and they're the most damaging to 47?

Some of the best movies ever made were by Rob Reiner. They made us laugh and think: The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men. And he was a force on screen as well in All in the Family and so many films.

What a tragic loss. Words fail with news like this.

Utopia is a premature truth no longer!

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Dystopia sells; it keeps us engaged and clicking. All the while, and much to our own detriment, we help bloat someone else’s purse.
Born of terminal discontent, an ideal twinkles in the horizon, and the masses stir. Utopia is a premature truth no longer!
And we have set our sights on it.

In a world where fewer and fewer people concern themselves with the plight of others, the loss of Rob Reiner, who cared deeply about humanitarian causes, feels that much more devastating. RIP: 1947-1925.

"When same-sex marriage was still years away, there was America’s Uncle, straight as can be, demanding a future in which LGBTQ families be given a full stake in the American Dream and hurry the fuck up on that, please and thank you."

Sorry for using comics and art to vent and cope with the world changing around me. I will return to drawing whimsical and silly frog wizards and adventures.

A worthy task 💙
If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

The secret lore of book and toy shop owners holds that it is good to have a "Hollywood snow" in early November so that people's Gift Brains turn on, and they start shopping.

This year... we're just going to enjoy the flurries around our icicles, and do whatever we can to reduce others' stress. ❄️📚❤️

I manage my online store for that very reason 🥰 every book I ship (US) is dedicated and signed by me.
I've also shipped signed books through Ingram (UK & Australia) - they include my digital signature plus a personalized message on the dedication page.
Sometimes I wish I lived close enough that I could get signed copies of the books I buy online by my author friends. That would be cool.

Read a novel on Medium!

Aeonian
A diary found at the back of a library draws a lonely young woman into Victorian era Cornwall, but as past events begin to repeat themselves, the reader must ask...

What is her connection to this story?
