Bostonish: Belfast, ME aspirations. Old atheist witch with goth tendencies. Non-humans and garage rock and spicy food and cold climes. Horror fiction. Left. Totally THAT crone

Art is a conversation with the human soul. AI is a conversation with the oligarchy's souless world poisoning machines who are designed to do one thing, sequester a greater share of our dwindling resources to the dragon's hoard of the oligarchs.

I loved so much about it; I even made Christine Baskets’ whiskey salad. And what a high note Louis Anderson went out on! By the second season, they had realized Christine was the lead…

A lovely mossy boulder with a face. I walked past this venerable stone gentleman on Dartmoor when I was beginning to write my first novel, Villager, and it whispered all 104,000 words of the book to me. So now I have to pay it all of my royalties. Unfortunately my ex-publisher stopped paying me royalties last year. Understandable, the boulder was not happy. But now I have a new publisher and the book is being republished this Thursday. So remember if you purchase a copy you will be helping a boulder to eat, pay the rent on his riverside moss garden, and feed his boulder family.

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.

If you had a parent that was a spiraling, end stage alcoholic you know what's going on just by the feeling.

Right? VU’s Heroin sounds like heroin, but Cocaine sounds like whiskey at best

β€œwhat radicalized you?” idk I just think we shouldn’t be killing citizens, sending people to concentration camps, bankrupting people for healthcare, letting children starve, endangering women’s health, abducting world leaders, stealing foreign resources, or villainizing marginalized communities

REMINDER: War Crimes committed on soil of a signature nation to the International Criminal court expose those committing crimes to the jurisdiction of the ICC--even if their own country is not a member. Venezuela is a member of the ICC. Thus, Trump can and MUST be prosecuted at The Hague

Hapless haircuts. I scrubbed that β€œD” off my voter registration like it was the mark of the beast, but I don’t know how to help end this any more than they seem to
