Makes me sick. How can humans treat other humans that way?

Soooooโ€ฆ how long will the โ€œfederal surgeโ€ continue? Once the bandaid is gone, the problem remains. Crime is down now, and will return once the guardsmen leave. Temporary solution to an exaggerated problem to distract from very real threats to Trumpโ€™s presidency. How are those files coming along?

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

The huntress Saoirse from the fantasy novel Iโ€™m chipping away at.

โ€œHigh cheekbones, a defined jawline; features both beautiful and forbidding in their sharpness. Her expression was more contemplative than kind.โ€

The bright-spirited Althea, from the fantasy book Iโ€™ve been writing.

โ€œAlthea came to work at the manor as a maid at the age of 13. Saoirse saw in her a spark; a resiliency to the darkness and fear that lurked over them like a specter.โ€

Rough sketch in ink and pencil of a man and his younger self. Both look serious and pensive.

Killian Dโ€™al is one of three protagonists in the fantasy novel Iโ€™m writing. Here he is as a boy and as an adult - seems a little burdened, eh?

โ€œKillianโ€™s sharp eyes were the color of golden whiskey in a crystal glass.โ€

Thank you Senator! I donโ€™t live in Vermont anymore but Iโ€™m proud you were my representative. Itโ€™s nice to know there are leaders who will follow their conscience and not shrink away from the fight.

Teen athlete schools "hateful" GOP rep who used her 2nd-place finish to harm trans kids - LGBTQ Nation "I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points," the cis student wrote.

www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/05/teen... The response by the trans athleteโ€™s opponent showed more maturity than most adults, and certainly more than Libby.
