I am honored and, I admit, pleased to have my little short story included in this magazine. I started writing as a way to stave off the mental decline associated with aging and never expected to be published. Thank you
@esraye.bsky.social
and
@perseidprophecies.bsky.social
. I hope you like it.

This is a thread about Music. ๐งต The music I like. The music that formed me. I am no expert. I like what I like, and I'd like to share it with you. It's somewhat eclectic. The music I enjoy consumes me and demands my attention, which is why I work and write in silence. I'll add to it over time.

I was going to start a GoFundMe to make it through the winter, but it would be cheaper to buy tickets to the Virgin Isles and put me up in a hotel. However, no one would fund that.

I know this will cost me followers but... I don't follow sports. There I said it. I haven't followed sports since Mickey Mantle cross checked Joe Namath under the basket in the ninth inning during the third quarter of the last lap.

It's not just the individual memory that has increased in price it's the Solid State hard drives, and the video cards. Last year this time I priced a new desktop at $1,630. And figured I would wait for a sale. That same configuration, between tariffs and now memory costs is $2,969.00

Ugh! Snow in the driveway. The only benefit to it is it bothers one of my neighbors that I don't shovel/have plowed (an inch of show) and just drive through it. What? It's just going to melt.

Here's the message: Trump is terrorizing our communities with a campaign of inhumane un-American ICE brutality - and he's paying for it by raising health premiums on 20 million Americans. Effective because it's ๐ฏ true.

I went to CBP this week - joined by hundreds of loyal Americans - to tell the true story of America. That our nation's foundational strength is our commitment to immigration. And that Trump is telling us we should fear our immigrant neighbors, simply to hide his corruption.

Everyday you hear about an ICE atrocity committed against US citizens . Where are all those "don't tread on me" second amendment, government overreach gun toting advocates? Was that all cowardly bluster or is it that ICE is hurting the citizens they don't like?

In the Carter's World stories, it's not so much a sporting event as a personal obsession. Jason is a runner. He runs to think, and he runs for the high. After losing both legs and is fitted with mechanical prosthetics, he can no longer obtain the euphoria of a runner's high.

I maintain a thread I add to each time the administration makes a stupid policy or rescinds a proven healthcare practice titled "They are trying to kill us." But now that a fascist ICE agent just shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, Minnesota, it proves they are no longer trying but succeeding.

I sat down to write and work on my WIP, but opened social media for a look see. Fuck! What the hell!! The rage of a thousand supernovas burns in my chest over what these fascists are doing to my country. I try not to assault my followers with it but it is there and I fear one day it may explode.

Bluesky grammar nerds, please help me here. The sentence I want to write is: Three weeks later, he noticed an anomaly on the rear view screen. But autocorrect is telling it should be "rearview screen." Opinions?
