Puzzle #3
More pet mischief, but now only kittens and in a library. 1000 pieces. Took 2 days. The hardest parts were the kittens themselves. Fur is annoying.

Good Omens also has that line about how Adam could save the whales but to do that he’d need to change people and he doesn’t want to do that. Even as a kid that line baffled me. Kid, make oil rigs never leak and have humans miss with their harpoons.

I really wish this movie had gotten more love. Writing this analysis was a pleasure!

34 and Counting I turned 34 this month. Ended up blogging about it: https://priyajsridhar.com/34-lucky-beginnings. The cake in the photo was for my younger brother’s...

#Writestuff What can I say? Buy my book ... you won't regret it.

Love mentors and they exist in my stories. And they don’t die. #WriteStuff

I did take a hero’s journey class with Susan Sipal and read The Writer’s Journey by Chris Vogler. But I haven’t been able to fit stores into that wheel confidently. #WriteStuff

Heh. It doesn’t. What I’m working on is up in the air. #WriteStuff

In terms of an epic…
Maybe the Tale of Genji? Because Genji comes a lot more than he goes, so to speak. #WriteStuff

Probably Hadestown? Because of the descent into the Underworld #WriteStuff

Welcome! Pleasure to meet you, Jenn! #WriteStuff

Good evening! My name is Priya Sridhar and I’m here for the company. #WriteStuff

Tonight on #WriteStuff, we discuss the Hero's Journey ... which we really do have to discuss now and then, if only to refute it. First question at :05 ... but first, who are you? Why are you here?

An incredibly prolific half decade for @lollipopcomics.bsky.social! #WriteStuff

I am angry. Livid. Vexed.
But for today, sharing this out of spite and for joy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXrS... #SesameStreet

Itch.io Has Suspended Thousands of “NSFW” Games Without Means of Download or Preservation The big question is why.

Are you angry about Itch.io's recent screwup? You should be medium.com/counterarts/... #itchio #collectiveshout #itch #controversy #videogames

It basically means The Social Network was a wish fulfillment fantasy. Jesse Eisenberg's Mark Zuckerberg was an entitled jerk but he never caused THAT much harm in the fictional universe.

Didn’t turn; it was a mess long before Wynn-Williams came onto the scene. It just got worse with more money

It was the chapter about the meeting with the German inspectors that made my jaw drop. Somewhere, the business professor that gave us case studies on the delicacy of international diplomacy is crying.

I’ve read I’ve Never Thought of It That Way! The rest? Not so much lol

Aw nuts. Missed it

DMs are closed so does email work better?

Hello! I have a retro NES system and lots of nerdy memories.

So many hugs.

A6 #WriteStuff : HONESTY IN JOURNALISM OH MY FUCKING GODS IS THAT REALLY SUCH A DIFFICULT CONCEPT THESE DAYS YOU LITERALLY JUST NEED TO TELL THE TRUTH WHY IS THIS SOOOO FUCKING HARD FOR THESE JERKS RUNNING THE NEWS COMPANIES RIGHT NOW THE HELLLL???????

#WriteStuff (cont)
A true betterment of our world can not happen with the help of journalism, but only against it.

You are not and will never be part of the solution, you are and will always be the problem to overcome first.

And I am very willing to look the other way when it happens.

#WriteStuff (cont)
All the while the real and worthwile news are buried behind paywalls and opinion pieces that once again complain about lazy slave workers and about poor people not living thousands of dollars above their budget.
Making up new words daily to besmear the people who want basic rights

#WriteStuff A6:
Okay now, you wanted me to rant, I do rant:
News reporting in all areas and leagues is full of completely fabricated misinfo and propaganda and made up scenarios to get you angry. And now mankind started eating itself in the name of good. Because of you.
