Thanks great big bunches!

Thanks so much for this, Bruce! You know I have a character in Alexy, Strong and Silent, named Bruce, right? 😊

COLLATERAL

Look a little while
before the coffee is ready
between the loads of laundry
before you change the channel

Listen for a spell
until the wine is poured
until the next distraction
until the pain
of an entire world
outweighs your compassion

Worth a reshare.

I CANNOT believe I posted this only a year ago. Collectively, we've all aged at an excellerated rate due to stress, like the episode, Miri, with Kim Darby, in Star Trek TOS. Naziism is a disease that has visibly deleterious affects on culture, memory, art, humanity.

Thanks again!

Feels relevant to reshare.

❤️😎

Thanks!

Thank you so much, Bruce❤️

It's always touching to get any review, but when it comes from an award-winning writer, them self, it's somehow a little extra icing on your cupcake.

Thanks so much Bruce!

Thank you so much, Bruce❤️. Been away from Bluesky a long spell, and it's heartwarming to come back and have this be the first thing I see. 😊😘

I don't get a lot of feedback or comments on my substack posts, but when I do it really makes my day. I hope you, too, will check out some of my pieces on #substack and let me know what you think. I've been a bit absented, blue from the coup, so to speak. #amwriting #authorlife #writingcommunity

It was (as expected) fantastic. There's a reason you're an award-winning playwright, and all anyone has to do to find out why is attend one of your productions!

Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you so much!

So, over on not-twitter, I've been deleting old posts and backing off the platform. I've posted repeatedly for followers to please follow me over here, where I'm setting up camp.

EVERY one of those tweets has disappeared by the next day.

So much for #freespeech
