The Midsummer Wife - Chapter 22 This is Chapter 22 of The Midsummer Wife, Book 1 of the Heirs to Camelot, a King Arthur Romantasy/paranormal Romance/reincarnation Romance/Urban Fantasy.

I'm posting chapter-by-chapter of THE MIDSUMMER WIFE, my #KingArthur #Romantasy, on Substack.

Chapter 22: The three present the regalia to the government. The tapestries depict all the items from the grotto. Then the Goddess proclaims Ron, Harper, & Ava the Heirs.

I lost some really good friends.

But I realized they weren't who I thought they were when they quit a church because the pastor said Jesus didn't love rich people as much as the poor.

Ford and GM both have terrific EV trucks at lower prices - and none of them looks like they were drawn on a cocktail napkin by a drug-addled trillion/billionaire.

Drive a Nazi-mobile, suffer the consequences of your choice - because it is a definite choice NOT to support American union workers.

What I am hearing in this interview on #CNBC is that OpenAI is paying a licensing fee for the use of the characters and the images will be used in spots of no more than 30 seconds (no short films).

This might be the innovation that forces AI to stop pirating.

Hey if you were wondering whether Hegseth's soldiers are willing to obey illegal orders, let's ask the ones who were last seen scurrying down ropes onto the deck of a Venezuelan oil tanker like contemptible Somali pirates, jonesing to steal some oil as part of a unilateral and unprovoked act of war

This is our new CEO, Javier. I have officially adopted him. He is estimated to be 8 years old and he's deaf, so there's no need to give any feedback on his job performance. He is just a perfect gentlemen and I am so grateful he made his way to me. 14/10 no bias at all

a small yellow lab puppy sits like a person in the black leather passenger seat of a car. the dog is buckled in, and she's staring straight ahead with a stoic expression, while her two back feet kick up in front of her. the human in the driver's seat looks on with a slight smile.

I work at the public library which means I see the books leaving and coming back in, and I can tell you this, my community is scared of what's happening and what is likely to happen, and they intend to go down fighting. They are learning skills and reading about politics like I've never seen. And the books parents are choosing for their kids: allyship, inclusive, multi-culturalism. It's beautiful.

I'm making new cards for people by the literal dozen.

This is why fascists hate libraries. It's where people go to gird their fucking loins. We love to see it.
