Played a teeny bit of WoW. Just a few quests. Eye is very sensitive tonight so I didn't feel like running delves. It was also hard to write, but I got 2,048 words on DDD. Tomorrow, we're going to see Masters of the Universe. Looking forward to it.

In California, all candidates run on the same primary ballot in the primary & the top 2 vote-getters move on to the general. CA is one of several states that send a mail-in ballot to every registered voter. Ballots are counted as long as they are postmarked by Election Day and arrive within 7 days

Computer is setup with my scanner, printer and Intuos but I haven’t yet tested if my very old version of Photoshop works yet. This was an unexpected expense. 😣 I would not say no to a little help. Kofi or maybe a $5 mini print? www.amandamakepeace.com/store?catego... ko-fi.com/makepeace

I'm hormonal because my uterus is violent and sad. Say something nice to someone out there today, eh? Bring some light to the shadows.

There’s still an opportunity to stop this in the House. Tell your member of Congress: No more money for ICE and no money for insurrectionists. act.indivisible.org/sign/stop-ba...

If you donate your time, kittens are fun to play with, but we need to socialize the ones who DONT PLAY so they can be adopted - the shy ones & the seniors. Get some children’s books from the library & read to them. Show them the pictures. It helps them learn people are safe.

Turned up the brightness on my monitors and have two lights in my room turned on tonight. That's progress, even though eye is a bit sensitive. Still can't see. Ran a delve without dying. Last night, I ran one and only died once. Gathered references for some artwork. Took care of some business 1/2

So Trump admits to using the Havana Syndrome weapon on Joe Biden during the debate… 😑

So much “real men” this and “real men” that. Real men pick up their dog’s shit even in the middle of the night when no one’s looking. That’s it. Be decent. Always. Done. That’s a “real man.” What you wear or how you look or who you kiss doesn’t matter. Being decent matters.

A reminder that the animal shelters are really struggling right now. Many of them have wishlists on chewy, Amazon, walmart, your local farm store, etc. Even if you just put a few extra cans of food in your basket or donate old towels & blankets. Donate your time to socialize pets.

Eye cooperated most of the day as far as the light sensitibity goes. It's kinda hurting right now, but most of the day, I could keep it open, at least. Still can't really see. If I get down close to about 1-1/2 inches from my backlit keyboard, I can almost make out some fuzzy letters.

By the way - for the love of all that is good in this world, DO NOT touch SpaceX stock when it IPOs unless you get some sort of pleasure from seeing the value of your assets crater

I will be dropping Sea Change into my store tomorrow. 🦈 #art #sciart #drawing

I'm curious, anyone with #Patreon, do any of you find this new direction of theirs positive? I am beyond annoyed, and now I'm losing patrons who did not ask and do not want yet another content feed to navigate. My podcast has relied on Patreon for so long, I don't know how to untangle it.

This applies beyond academia, too! One kind comment to the author of your favorite story will absolutely make their week Heck - it might make their month #bookSky #writingCommunity #podcast

Tomorrow is Friday.

More people need to hear this.

This is not a bad film, but it can't beat the original. Although Angela Bettis makes Carrie her own. The writing is middling, and the special effects aren't great. #HorrorMovies #StephenKingAdaption

Authors are ALSO being pushed to write faster and faster because they need to eat. You can't survive on even a book a year anymore, let alone one every FIVE. As an author, the financial pressure of the sausage grinder is real.

I feel the same way.
