I'm a writer living somewhere in North America. You'll never see my face.

BUT you sure can read my books if you want!

I tell them "just imagine a redneck monkey warning you he's gonna start flinging."

Which is WRONG but very funny.

It would cost them, let me do the math real quick, $82.38 to legally purchase everything I've ever published. But asking for that would be selfish of me, apparently.

Yet it's not selfish of them to expect billions in public funds in exchange for nothing? That's the foundational assumption.

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

That's a hell of an if.

If you're an 8-year old boy genius who built a spaceship out of your mom's vacuum and your dad's bottle of everclear and you have parts of your ship stolen by wolf-aliens and you have to trek across mars to recover them, that would also be wrong. Doesn't mean it's happened.

I wouldn't be surprised if Derek Jacobi had played one, at one point.

Hey, the bundle is still going strong! Get 22 books by authors with ADHD/featuring ADHD characters.

Having been diagnosed last year, a lot of things were put in perspective, especially parts I've been beating myself up over for years. In some way, each of these books is a small miracle!

What ADHD insights may this bundle provide?
My Manipulator's War includes
-restlessness, impatience & recklessness.
-two minds that do. Not. Stop. Thinking!
-the tendency to NOTICE things.
(The latter are useful in trying to understand a mysterious enemy's motives 😉.)

We absolutely do NSFW, there's a "today's story concerns adults subject matter for mature listeners" intro clip I attach in editing.

In related news, I am wrestling against the urge to send That Clip to my husband's mother, saying "Hey Look D------ Here's Video Of An ICE Agent Shooting A Priest In The Face Have Anything To Say About That?!" because I know perfectly well it will accomplish nothing, not even making me feel better.

Hardly an original conclusion, Dante was saying as much in the Purgatorio.

Which I guess is just another tick in the "christianity was designed to be a religion and social movement specifically for marginalized populations, and the second it got access to wealth and power it was permanently altered" column.

Even the most selfless--and at times necessary--support from christians has always come with hidden conditions and obligations, usually only revealed after the fact.

The LGBTQ community takes care of and supports eachother with the kind of unquestioning and unconditional generosity that christians always claim to have but which I have never once experienced myself.

That's profoundly rough.

Do remember the Voice of Dog is always open, though.
