Probably nature itself, to be honest. The environment is very inhospitable, people die of hunger, thirst, and disease far more often than the highwaymen or bandits.

Oh, it's already having to listen to British people complain about 30 C weather season again isn't it

I'm gonna take a nap, and I will try to get chapter 8 finished today, depending on how I feel when I wake up.

The gods say happy pride month. :)

#SFFChat I'm super into the old historical trucks and I would absolutely love to get to see a FWD model B up close. I don't know if that counts as fun, though, they actually sound kinda stressful.

#SFFChat Enya is a working single mother, she does not relax Well okay actually she listens to the radio a lot. There are some radio shows she likes, and she listens to baseball reporting.

#SFFChat Well I'm not gonna explain all of Chunish culture, but to keep things controlled to just Tacust Valley, things like alcohol and card games are popular. It's also a town with a lot of brothels and other sorts of adult activities.

#SFFChat ope I'm running a bit late. I like to relax by drinking alcohol and playing car video games. Or by watching you tube videos about history, science, or military procurement.

I need to go back in time and introduce Mary Shelley to sock puppets

Happy pride month to my characters who finally kissed.

Happy Pride Month 🌈

*clack clack*

Damnit I gotta wait until January to work on The Ninth Drift.

Okay but I don't

I remember a time when just about every website had a little widget in the bottom left corner with a chat window. Facebook still does it, I wish it was more common.

I should buy a banjo

The Tacust County Militia flag is desert tan with a coyote skull in the center. The coyote was chosen because it is a symbol of cleverness and survival in harsh environments. The militia is not there to wage war, it is there to help the travelers and residents survive.

I remember someone I went to middle school with had gotten pregnant. What followed was her entire family spending months telling her she's getting fat. This was already a bit of an insecurity for her so it lead to an eating disorder which lead to a miscarriage.

"customer" is an oppressive class like "wine mom" and "median voter"

Enya, while unloading a delivery van full of food because she's too low class to ever be invited to a cocktail party: "What's it look like, hun?"

Enya probably knows even less about nails than I do. In 1929, fingernail polish is also a trend among flappers and other sorts of subversive youth culture types that Enya really wouldn't want to look like.

Capitalism and democracy, simple as that. It's a government law enforcement force in the Republic of Motornin. The chunes, who make up the ethnic majority in Tacust County have a dedication to welfare and government services, so the Tacust County Militia does more than most for their people.

Tacust county is very much bankrolled by the Ssotsrode And Western Railroad, who has an interest in making sure their rail freight isn't threatened by bandits and highwaymen. The Militia exists largely for this purpose, and all their public services are secondary to that end

I should try to keep up with this one, and I'm probably going to talk about Enya's own Tacust County Militia. It's located in Tacust County. I'm hoping to get the chance to yap about my blorbo, do I even need a higher purpose? :)

I need to binge watch some of these soon to add to the flavor for my writing.

#WriteStuff #Shameless #SelfPromo I mentioned “Their Secret,” which you can check out here:

#WriteStuff This is a fun one! See there was a time when I was considering making a comic. I can draw, and I can draw quickly. So at the time it actually was a superhero story.

#WriteStuff Chunish romance is complicated. Polyamory is the norm, people have households or even children with just friends, everyone has a network of lovers. A Last Train to Blazes romance would be complicated and that might limit its appeal.

#WriteStuff This is already not too far from what I already write, and the specifics would depend a lot on what time period. She's already in 1929.

#WriteStuff Enya would be that character who largely exists to make the really depressing jokes, probably. Either that or bad puns.

#WriteStuff Enya does actually get involved in murder mysteries as part of her job with the militia, so she'd be able to handle it just fine. Actually I could write a murder mystery completely in canon and it is something that might come up after I finish The Ninth Drift.

#WriteStuff "Wait.... you can go to space? But no that's where the gods are. Do you at least knock before walking in and bring them some wine? It'd be rude otherwise." Otherwise I think Enya could handle the day to day operations on the Enterprise just fine with a little bit of training.

Happy pride month! We asked Enya for her pride flags but I don't think she understood the assignment. So we tried explaining to her what "bisexual" is and she responded "you mean... normal?"

I usually give my characters healthy relationships as a way to balance out the suck that comes from the rest of the story. I think for Enya, the big standout is the healthy relationship with her daughters' father, if only because ex boyfriend/baby daddy relationships are so often terrible.

Another often unknown fact: Ships are not actually made of real steel. They are made of a special copper alloy called monel steel. The copper is more stable than steel, and it grips the water for excellent traction.

Happy pride month to the co worker who, after telling other co workers that he thought I have a nice ass, felt felt the need to search me out just to tell me he isn't gay.

Hey Europeans, I got a question for you. Saw someone on the Internet saying that they associate American accents with movies, so when they hear an American accent, that's where their mind goes to, some kind of "sounds like actor/actress" Is this sort of thing common?

Uninstalled the sims. I no longer need nor want it.

I hope James has the happiest pride month of us all

Remember to look after yourself and get happy:

For Enya, the boss showed up at her door and told her to get working. The situation is unusual, but it's still otherwise just a routine job.

Nobody told me Hegseth was such a massive fucking ass kisser man. Like I get secondhand embarrassment listening to him talk about Trump.

Sorry not sorry but any time I come across a person entirely disconnected from like, anything and has the most bizzare outlook on queer topics They're reliably from Cali or the PNW

🌞 "The Nature of Things" 🌞

In Last Train to Blazes, the Devil is a real guy who sometimes appears to people. Just like in the American folk tales, he usually tries to trick people into selling him their souls. I had a whole storyline around it one time but never wrote it because people got a little too horny.
