2nd audiobook of the year finished. Mary Aiken's The Cyber Effect was a fantastic and enlightening exploration of how the Internet impacts and rewires our human behaviour and impacts our minds. I left with plenty of new knowledge and new concerns. #booksky💙📚

Started the morning dejected because I thought I lost the latest edition of a flash fiction story that I loved, only to realise it was there under the original, unedited version of the text. Not the type of scare I needed this morning. #writersky

Seeing some of the talk about the #AEW and Trey Miguel situation is hightlights a problem that's complex and never going away when it comes to wrestlers who transgress against others. Here's a closer look at history #wrestlesky🤼 lastwordonsports.com/prowrestling...
Wrestling with Outrage: Can Disgraced Wrestlers Find Redemption?
Disgraced wrestlers is not a new concept in the industry. While we have a lot of them are they unforgivable or do they deserve a 2nd chance?

Really happy for Zayda Steel getting her AEW graphic. I've been a fan since she debuted in MLW. She's young and already mastered creating a character. She's continually learning, and she could be a great rep for the Arab American community

A productive morning. Wrote a few hundred words redrafting the next chapter of my novel. The reverse outline I wrote continues to involve. It feels like putting skin onto my monster. And also got ideas for 2 Dread #ttrpg sessions. Couldn't have done either without mistakes to learn from. #writersky

The more I've thought about it, the saddest aspect of TNA's AMC debuts is that the karmatic responses poking fun at LOLTNA in many ways is more about taking pleasure in the egg left on the faces grifters, bad faith actors and Fed allies. The subtext is more about them than TNA #wrestlesky🤼♂️

Seeing a lot of jokes and dunking posts about TNA Wrestling. I get the jokes, laugh with some of them. I'm glad there is another place that pays wrestlers so they can make a living. Some have and will continue to get noticed and go to WWE and AEW, or find their niche. #wrestlesky🤼

While I'm sad Powerhouse Hobbs is crossing to another side, I'm happy not just for him, but wrestlers generally we have a healthish, competitive ecosystem with options. Hobbs goes to the Fed, Andrade back back after trying it again. The Rascalz are joining #AEW. I'm glad there's options #wrestlesky🤼

Marina Shafir is a treat to listen to. Hearing her take on the original ending of the Deathriders makes me wish I was good at photoshop to create some mock ups of what we could have had.
