The only message I want people to hear is: If you couldn't be bothered to get off your ass and vote, you don't get to complain. Shut up and sit down instead of making your little posts in a sorry attempt at going viral. We know you're more concerned with 'likes' than the state of Democracy. #Vote

Ever notice when an author of humorous Sci-Fi stories references pop culture to comedic effect, they never use something pop culture related to anything later than present day? C'mon people it's in the future! Are you trying to say nothing after today was sufficiently pop culturish to reference? 😜

It's been a tough 10 years.

I failed to catch quality video of it due to distance from me, but there is a Squirrel deluding a tree branch of all the short new growth leafy branches and appears to be building a nest. I didn't know they did this. #NatureAtMyFrontDoor

If you think that ICE is about immigration & customs, think again. It is where all the grossly obese lard asses from the white nationalists are getting on the job training to be T'Rump's personal army for when Americans are finally fed up enough with Congress, they take matters into their own hands.

It really bothers me when people are clearly trolling for likes & follows by declaring ABOLISH THE POLICE! It ain't ever gonna happen but let's say it does. Who are you gonna call when someone it robbing your house, husband is beating you, some MAGA Redhat is shooting up a school? #ReformThePolice

I'm interested in how different ages will view this. Please reply with what/who you see and what decade you were born. To avoid influencing what you see, please do not read the replies until you have replied yourself.

With the latest #SCOTUS ruling, know that I'll be doing my best to make my vote count for you too. Every citizen of legel age should have access to #Vote. Not just the ones who support the current fascist regime.

Bragging about having the most attempts on your life isn't as good as you think it is. Maybe take a moment to realize that your policies are hurting people so badly, that there are those who feel they have nothing else to lose, assuming that they were real attempts. Who knows after so many lies?

Yet another fake ass*ssination attempt. How many fake attempts before he's fake taken out? I assume right before the trials to come after the mid-terms. Then he'll reappear alive and well in Moscow.

I had a haircut and beard trim 2 weeks ago, but didn't post anything because the bandwagon hadn't reached me yet. Do ya think I can still hop on?

I'm beginning to think that the word #rigged is easier for the GOP to say than 'failled attempt by us at gerrymandering voting districts'. If Dems had rigged the elections, we would have a functioning Congress, trusted SCOTUS, and a beloved Executive. #RIPUSA1776-2016

In Memorium The United States of America 1776- 2016 The Great Experiment failed for lack of interest from the electorate.

In for a penny... I've already collected the other books in this series, and figured, 'Why not add to the collection?' In a world where the nightly news tells of the absolute insanity of current events, reading the insane events in this series is a nice diversion. Bring 'em on!! #booksky #SciFi

I admit that I have done it once or twice, but this growing trend of bitching about "OMG! STOP POSTING ABOUT (whatever)" is just plain stupid. Start using the 'show less of this' option, and whatever has your panties in a wad will vanish from your feed. Be the solution, not the problem.

Watching history as it happens. Nothing but excited anticipation for what the Artemis Integrity crew sees.

Should have used potatoes

I've been scrolling the Discover feed, not actively looking for anything, and have discovered a handful (pardon the pun) of naked men posts. It made me think of the 'dark ages' before the internet when the Sears catalog & the Kmart underwear aisle were all there was for 'inspiration'. #ThingsChange

I can't wait for the headline that includes the phrase 'Natural Causes' in reference to a certain individual who we all wish never existed. 🤞

It was an interesting experience to meet John and learn about his writing, as well as share my opinion on buying ebooks that have DRM. I did buy 'The Echo Effect' and look forward to reading it. I'm not normally a fan of Chronomanipulation stories, but this one captured my attention.

What is it about nerdy straight guys that they set my gaydar off so hard? I spent 2 days at The Sci-Fi & Fantasy Expo surrounded by men who made me feel like I was being hit on, when I wasn't. Frustrating mixed messages.

I knew I was gonna lay out a few bills taking my guys to dinner Saturday, but it never once registered that on the same weekend, my car insurance, cell phone, and credit card bill were all due too. My bank account is a smoldering ruin right now. 🎵Brother, can you spare a dime?🎶 Times 20,000? 🤑

After about 10 years or so, I've started playing Guild Wars again. Back then, I was amazed by how realistic the graphics were. Today, I can't stop giggling over the way my character bounces when he runs or how dead his face looks. My #BG3 guy has a Foreskin and a tight ass. Times change.

Oh my Gawd, I am so sick of hour after hour of the same three stories on the news. Yes I know it snowed. Yes its cold. I know idiots in cars caused problems. I agree, the dog playing in the snow was cute the first 20 times. Will you please report on something else that happened today?

I'm so excited! After years of craving a good TTRPG, I found some folk via Discord that are not only local to me, but are actively playing. Played my first 5e 24 game and am chomping at the bit to start a Pathfinder 1e adventure path. Living life and being social again is a wonderful thing.

I'm not sure what it says about me, but if my #BG3 avatar had an OnlyFans page, I'd subscribe to it.

I installed #BaldersGate3 this morning and started playing after 3 or 4 hours I've come to the conclusion that I have no friggin clue what I'm doing. Having never played 5e 2024 rules before, next to nothing makes sense. Why won't my 2-handed fighting ranger hold a second weapon?

New year... New day... Same question... Is he dead yet?

I don't even care enough to look up who Pantone is, let alone care that they chose a color. I choose colors all the time and nobody writes headlines about me. By the way... Just yesterday I chose orange & purple plaid. You read that right. TWO colors. @npr.org journalists can reach me here.

A word of advice for those who do their Xmas shopping by looking at wishlists on #Amazon. If you are using your phone, you are not seeing the entire list. You have to use your PC to see everything. Dunno why that is, but we learned the hard way after being told nothing was on our lists to buy.

#Booksky I'm too old to wait fifteen years for you to finish writing your latest ten book series. Does anyone write standalone novels anymore? My idea of a novel defined as 80,000 words or more.

Welp... after almost 8 hrs, this VW Atlas SEL has its new forever home. I never imagined owning a VW, but it looked at me with those bright eyes and purred when I started him up. Big plus, there's lots of room in it for me and my guys. A very comfy ride.

Heading out with my boys. For the first time in six years, I hope to come home with a car of my own. No more sitting at home, day after day, while my brain rots from a lack of stimulus. No more begging for a ride for medical appointments. Freedom to get up and go somewhere... maybe a book store.

First they came for the unprotected and I created memes to gain likes & follows Then they came for those who were different and lack support and I made tiktok vids to try to go viral. Then they came for the protesters and I was too busy editing a YT vid to speak out. Where'd my followers go? #NoMore

I'm so sick of seeing posts that begin, "What (sombody or organization) needs to do is..." Those posts feel like somebody's poor attempt at going viral. If you want change, turn off your device, go outside, and get involved. Stop waiting for someone else to make a difference. #BeTheChange #NoMore

I'm hearing that #Paramount is going all in on so called "A.I." generation of films, scripts, and actors. That means I am going 'all out' on Paramount. I will not spend a single penny on anything they will produce from this path. No films, TV, or even streaming. #ParamountIsDeadToMe.

#Booksky #Authors Why are the #SciFi and #Fantasy genres eternally linked together? I prefer reading hard sci-fi, and yet, when I search for new books to buy, the results are saturated with elves, dragons, and magic. To me, the two are polar opposites. No hate offered. I read fantasy sometimes too.

Bumping to get the attention of #Booksky #Authors who write hard #SciFi or humorous #SpaceOpera or humorous #Fantasy and sell on #Smashwords, #Kobo, or have a webstore where #DRMfree copies can be purchased. Respect to all, but other genres or exclusive to Amazon is not what I'm looking for.

Got my updated Covid vaccine yesterday. I feel like crap today and am very happy about it. I'd rather have a few days feeling like crap, than being dead 'cuz some shit for brains anti vaxxer infected me. Get vaccinated and save the lives of those like me who are vulnerable due to chemo.

If you enjoy gritty, dark, #SciFi, or even if you don't, I think you really need to read this piece about where this country is headed. #Author M.P. Fitzgerald has a talent for taking the absurd and putting it in the spotlight. Read and share him widely. open.substack.com/pub/mpfitzge...

#Booksky #SciFi #Authors We have a house rule. From 10/1 thru 12/24, you can't buy anything for yourself that someone else could get you as a present. If you sell on #Smashwords, #Kobo, or sell direct and write hard sci-fi or humorous space opera/fantasy, reply with links I can put on my wishlist.

I've come to the conclusion that clicking 'Show more like this' will double whats being shown. 'Show less like this' will quintuple, at least, the amount. I'm 100% a 1st amendment supporter, but sexually aroused, anthropomorphic animals, in BDSM settings, is not art I enjoy. Please fix the algo.

Another Atlanta Pride festival is in the books. It was fun, but mostly corporate booths all handing out the same cheap swag. I was surprised by the number of feminist book stores. It would've been nice if there was a more generalized local book store represented. A lot of trans representation, Yay!

I can't be the only one out there who sees that every city he wants to/or is actively stationing troops is a major commercial transportation hub? Control the flow of food and medicine and you have the majority of the population in your grip of power. The power grid is next #StandUpNow #FascismIsHere

To paraphrase... 'Give me liberty, or force me to live in a fascist dystopia.' If you don't know the difference, you really need to ask for guidance if we're allowed the chance to vote again.

Oh man! Dear leader didn't win his little participation medal. He could have cinched it if only he had invaded a few more Ametican cities, or blown up a couple of more boats. Chin up! I hear he's still in the running for the Lying Bastard of the Year award.

::TAPS MICROPHONE:: Is the 1st Amendment still on? I firmly believe that the current administration is making its puppetmasters very happy. They deserve a reward. Take (and hold) a major port city of your choice.

In part: Each (enlisting) person shall take the following oath: “I, __, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION of the United States against ALL ENEMIES, foreign and DOMESTIC; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;... #TheConstitutionNotPOTUS
