As the authors of more than a few werewolf stories, let me just say I am well aware of the fallacy of wolf packs and alphas.
However, the idea is a human conceit. And since werewolves, at their core, are human, I think it makes perfect sense they'd adopt it regardless of real wolves.

There's going to be a lot of MAGA parents dying alone and bitter, all because they chose a rich, spoiled, racist / pedophile over their own children.
And yet they say it's not a cult.

Today's spam: "Would it be fine if I posted a brief Goodreads review of your book?"
Um, last I checked you didn't need an author's permission to review shit. But I'm gonna guess that if I say yes, you're going to then bring up the idea of a "small processing fee."

Those who are supposed to be protecting us have failed - at the federal level and, with few exceptions, at the state level too.
If we want to survive this with our country and constitution intact, we’ll need to bypass their bullshit and organize from a grassroots / local level.

Just remember, as they spread their FUD like "One of Ours, All of Yours," they NEED us to be afraid. They need us to be terrified. That's the only way their bullshit works.
Because if we aren't, we are liable to remember there's a lot more of us, than there are of them.

Trust me when I say I would like NOTHING better than to go back to my social media posts being little more than dumbass stuff that pops into my head. But I have kids, friends, family, etc, and for their sake I refuse to go quietly into the night as this country slides into a fascist hellhole.
