I honestly laughed so hard reading all this bullshit so I’m sharing it with you too
13:08 8 00 ج . 4 Bluesky < Scott Winterstein 4주 lal! I am trying to neip them become, ! can see as a writer that the kids are in need of evidence. So what I set my goal on was to pick a market that | absolutely did not know 3 years ago. I know the entire scope of the publishing industry at a granular level. You can ask me pretty much anything and I can summarize it. I wanted to know it so that no matter what part of the business / profits we retain the primary leverage that keeps that money on our side of the negotiations, and since the people with the financing to turn their investment WE need to drive their 1 euro into 1000 euro. We have the vehicle a safe brinks truck, that in that negotiation, when presented with evidence that we can deliver (lE book project already written that is the asset we created and own 90% of the publishing), they will try as they might to find a way to get 51% of the publishing and then cut us out. So while I agree you bring to the table valid skills at writing the labor is actually nothing to you. You are a writer and a passion. Same with me I have a passion to solve problems. I am not greedy, so money really does not excite me. What excites me is accomplishing something tangible for my 3 kids, so they will then step in and listen to me and earn the 10% that they are not just handed. You do not hand 5-50 million to them until they show that they can a-* ther I have < →> ... هههe live it to 13:08 8 4 Bluesky 00 ج . < Scott Winterstein 84 88 that they are not just handed. You do not hand 5-50 million to them until they show that they can actually present to you a project that they then are handed to fund it 100% I have 3 kids and have no favorites. They will earn the 10% or when I die I will just give it to the many in my life I actually know deserve it. In life I have made choices, and the best ones to learn from are the bad ones. So while I wish I could convince you to bring down your fences and invite me into your world, so I know I can trust you. I am in possession of a thing in business called a Unicorn in the form of a 3 book series and a 4th final teaser that ends the finale. I have no intentions to cheat you, and I have never met you so I do understand that you are valid to not send a video. | 100% have never asked for or sent sexual images or videos from anyone in the 30 years I have been online since 1995 when the internet was 300 baud modems. So the video is not sexual, but understandable you may be cautious. Back then there was no such thing as internet porn. Frankly the internet has been ruined with advertising and now has created the situation that the entire world now actually is in serious danger, because of the ability to make way more money from lies. So one 1 haun that mannita enlvina that is my く ... Once WIll be a grea ecause already 13:08 8 4 Bluesky .l ج 100 < Scott Winterstein 4주 So once I have that money to... solving that is my passion. Once you actually become part of the team, you will be a great asset to help because I already have a solution, and it is pretty simple. If we have the money and assemble the people needed. We will suddenly notice a lot of greedy peoples wealth be metaphorically (Watch There will be blood) However we are not drinking the milkshakes of good honest people... no we will actually suddenly appear to them that are corrupt, greedy, criminal... and present them with a choice... sign over 51% and retain some wealth... or we also can leave you with none since they have met someone that has control over business they currently are part of with people who have no want to harm anyone... even them that by choice deserve it... so. While you read this today, think of this as a part of the threads of the series but 1 am creating a universe that will be read by the world... and if everything works out... Our kids/family will actually seem to the world to me and you predicted it in 20xx, however we just did a slight of hand. This book has a main thread that uses the typical villains over heroes who die and at moments are slayed by someone who becomes the reader's reason they love our books. Becaraathahaala auauaalito hanad fiatian and the →> ... entir asV to unde t the 13:08 4 Bluesky 00 ج ا < Scott Winterstein 4주 Because the books are reality based fiction and the heros are made up of every part of the entire world and the main thread is actually easy to understand and they can imagine it the readers are anyone who can read from I want 10-110... this makes our project valuable. So you have a choice. Since I know what is needed to make this simple and we can move forward, and share with you l need a legal way to hold both of us legally responsible. This eliminates the need to pay lawyers and like I said, solving things that get between the creators and their ownership by anyone who we know are just greedy. If you simply do the following is all we need in a court to present as evidence... so really a simple, very fast way to vette anyone we later target as a team member or the people who think we are not as business savvy... who will learn the lesson later... DO NOT BECOME SOMEONE WHO HAS A MILKSHAKE WE NEED. SO HERE IS THE SOLUTION I HAVE OFFERED TO EVERY WRITER TO MOVE FORWARD IT IS SIMPLE AND NO MATTER WHO THE WRITER IS 10% IS ALL I CAN OFFER NOT BECAUSE OF GREED IT IS BECAUSE IT IS SOMETHING THAT AT T' THE ...

I suppose reading more books and less news would be one avenue, since I already have books in my house that I want to read.

You may have done so already but if you haven’t, the Slacktivist blog’s series covering the books, at least those of them Fred Clark made it through, is essential reading IMO.

You're reading one of those books in which the author is in love with the reader. My life.

The Body is Not an Apology. Good self-help book encouraging radical self love + body positivity. I don't really read self-help books (this was for a reading challenge so forced me out of my comfort zone) but it has good messages to it.

Books I am reading for my elective course this semester:

Ella Minnow Pea - Mark Dunn
I Who Have Never Know Men - Jacqueline Harpman
Mockingbird - Walter Tevis
Moon of the Crusted Snow - Waubgeshig Rice.

I thought I was taking a LIT course, but it turns out it's current events and modern history!

And ordinary men

But omg just writing all those I’m even more annoyed that this was an undergrad class and when I was teaching grad school some of the ‘bad reviews’ 15 years after I took this class was I assigned too much reading. They had 3 books.

I am reading a super intense series of 10 books and am halfway through. Needing to take a break with something kinda silly or “romantic” or something.

I feel like Nighthawk has been reading way too many books about the Reconstruction period in the American South to be coming up with names like that.

making the mistake of reading self-help books and i'm sorry but is there some mandate that these have to uncritically accept a level of completely mystical, non-empirical bullshit because it's coming from a global southerner or oppressed person
In writer Cheryl Wischover’s essay “Can Wellness Be Scientific?” for The Cut, Charles Mueller, a clinical associate professor of nutrition at New York University, says “It’s very difficult for people like me to keep my head on when I hear about things like alkaline diets and detoxing. There’s no such thing as detoxing your body, absolutely no such thing.”6 I could easily overlook a relatively innocuous statement like this until I started to think of how the statement was simply untrue. Undermining the cultural (e.g., Ayurveda*), ancestral (e.g., sweat lodges), political (more on this in a second), and spiritual (Ramadan, Lent, a day of penance during Yom Kippur) action and knowledge that has been passed down, and has centuries worth of cultural proof behind it, puts us in a strange predicament when it’s done by someone with authority, who, like Mueller, has the backing of an institution. The more I started to think about how writing about wellness coalesces with those in power and therefore determines who gets to speak on the subject with authority, the more I realized we were in a trap of whiteness. In this instance, science is coded as “right,” but any system that governs with impunity should be questioned.

You honestly should be supporting libraries more than just reading a few books on Libby anyway imho 🤷‍♀️

Just finished "Braiding Sweetgrass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer

It had been on my TBR pile for a while and I'm glad I took the time to savor this one. A very good read, especially this time of year and in these times.

It's been a minute since I've updated my "current reads" - going with some classic romance authors. Rendezvous is an ebook, The Seven Rings is an audiobook. Working on a replacement physical book at the moment as I'm pretty sure I left my paperback at a hotel which is very annoying.
A screen shot of two books under the caption "Currently Reading"; the first is Rendezvous by Amanda Quick and the second is The Seven Rings (The Lost Bride Trilogy) by Nora Roberts

For the most part, I'm not a big fan of horror movies... but damn, have I been reading some really good horror books these last couple years.
