Snack hung out with me last night while I was reading THEY THIRST by Robert McCammon in bed. Vampires don’t scare her. 🧛‍♀️

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

Day 93

Pacing. Pacing.

We all worry so much about pacing.

Fast or slow? How!?

Ask yourself —

Where is the action? Where is the reflection?

Action = movement, faster
Reflection = processing, slower

600 words every day started Aug 3 to Dec 31 for a novel draft by end of year.

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

One more note before I TRULY try to get my chemo-cranky ass off the internet:

If my vibe repels you, unfollow, but don't pretend it's skin off my back. I am not trying to "build a platform". I came here to find/follow a few people. I can't help but post. My posts resulted in followers.

That's it.

There's a lot of concern about signing up for protests and putting your name and contact information on a list that the FBI can then subpoena.

Which is why you should only sign up as your MAGA neighbors, members of the current administration, or dead pundits.

I hope we are amassing a stockpile of vaccines for when an outbreak of measles, Mumps or rubella reminds us that these can be dangerous. I think people may suddenly want to vaccinate. Want scary stuff? Look up what happens to an adult male when he gets Mumps and it descends into his testicles.
