My world building consists of only a couple dozen square miles in Arizona cursed through time, but that is an issue I face as well. Non-English names, and this place hosted the world in immigrants, as well as the various curse words they use are my Right Click Cross to bear.

Happiness in a hug

An image rare in this world... but proof of life and love

It was raining out so our picnic slipped inside the car. Afterwards the cuddles came. For the next half hour, Sweetie shared my seat.

I honestly cannot express how happy I am right now. Sweetie likes me... really likes me!

Cat person here. Dogs ignore me. Never had a dog actually cuddle (she got and stayed closer)

Why so happy?

Can you imagine how horrible it would be if HER dog didn't like me?

I'm in heaven!

In a moment unexpected, I get my first kiss of the evening

This was unexpected... doggies don't kiss me!

And joy!

Here is a short story in 4 frames.

She Who Is brought her doggie last night.
When doggie.(Sweetie) first met me, it was with a growled and that concerned cat-person me.
This is how things are going...

NOTHING about this individual denotes "spectrum" anything for fucks sake and it is ill-informed idiocy like this that endangers those who are. By blaming bad behavior on "spectrum" issues, you align with Kyle Rittenhouse, QAnon Shaman & Brian Kohburger... all who blamed "spectrum" for bad behavior.

For the perfect "Arizona flag photo" take it from Sunset Point. Still, thankfully, in Yavapai County

Since were there already, why, if we're supposed to be a "Christian nation", haven't we had a single Jubilee in the entire history of this nation yet we pay and pay and pay with increasing debt?

The word "based" has also, very quickly, rendered itself meaningless.

These are tonight's additional notes to a story in my "to do" list. Adding to the 2 pages of story notes I put down earlier, this is what popped into my head this evening. Basically, I will have three extended sonnets (rather than iambic pentameter, each line is X words long) within a Rondeau similarly formed (locked in words as well as 2 refrains of a specific phrase). The 3 Rondeau sections will cover our Hero's arrival to the location (a scene stolen from another Tale), his death and the torments suffered, and finally, his time in the creek stuck between stones and drowning anew each time the creek flowed.

Wish me luck!

STRUCTURE NOTE: (10-6-25)
Okay, I have an idea for combining a couple forms. This structure would make this story 2,744 words.
I am planning the story in 3 sections based off a Rondeau. If I do it at this length, the 13 β€œlines” of the Rondeau would be 196 words each with the 2 refrains being 98 words each.
Each Rondeau section will also contain within it a Sonnet.
Rondeau Section #1 will contain 980 words. The Sonnet lines will be every 70 words.
Rondeau Section #2 will contain 686 words. The Sonnet lines will be every 49 words.
Rondeau Section #3 will contain 1,078 words. The Sonnet lines will be every 77 words.

The Tale will be titled "The Relics of Caleb Walsh". It follows a Tale previously published titled "The Journal of Caleb Walsh".

I have been experimenting with constrained writing. This will leave me 55 words and 2 phrases locked in specific locations I must write around.

It's pretty fun!

While I consider this a good entry for that title, have you considered Ted Nugent's library of music? I mean, he's the Kanye West of rock, for fuck's sake.

Look at that dumbass in the first frame holding his penis like he's in a movie! Fucking moron WILL miss like that. Show's he's never actually trained with a weapon more than masturbating to it.

DEI

Diversity = E Pluribus Unum! Our fucking National Motto!
Equity = Check with your disabled and their parking spots. Ask them.
Inclusion = basic principles of Capitalism. If you want their money, include them.

Don't let them get away with just saying "DEI"

Make them define it word by word!

Yeah, true, but remember, she described him as a "matador" and a matador does everything he can to avoid the beast he's in the ring with and all he has to reply is a tiny sting.

I still say he's a virgin!
