A traditionally drawn and painted portrait of a young, unearthly man standing outside the window looking in. His hand is stained with blood (that is not his own) and is pressed to the glass leaving smears. He has long brown hair, wild orange eyes, and gorse flowers and thorns embroidered on his doublet. He looks like he wants to come in, and like that would be a bad thing.

'Long Lankin', a grisly character from British folklore murder ballads, and who I've borrowed for my story with an 'under the hill' twist.

This is how I drew the sinister gentleman in pencil and watercolour on toned paper, A4.

You weren’t β€œlow-maintenance”.

You were starving yourself of care.

You weren’t β€œresilient”.

You were burned out.

You weren’t β€œbad at intimacy”.

You were forced to perform it.

They thought you didn’t want connection.

But you needed it more than anyone.

That’s autism.

In 1981 Korea under Chun Doo-hwan's dictatorship, 22 people were arrested and tortured in a bunker for being in a bookclub with made up charges that were nothing but a blatant attempt to create terror for the citizenry in order to uphold and stabilize Chun's power grab.

Reading is political.

Look at it this way: an opportunity to determine whether the listed agents want your genre/premise without the bother of waiting donkey months for a rejection or CNR in the query trenches.

I've had no requests and don't expect any. I'm just grateful #PitchDis made the journey easier!

Good luck.

Have you ever enjoyed an image from the Hubble Space Telescope? NASA astronauts risked their lives to launch that telescope, to repair it, and to service it, multiple times.

We have all relied on them to do this so that we can see the rest of the universe more up close. πŸ”­

He invented sass before it was cool. His enemies would try to trap him with the slings and arrows of deception; I can imagine him rolling his eyes before returning their jabs with interest.

This is compounded if you have auditory processing issues. You ask them to repeat, they don't say the full sentence, so you have to ask them to clarify their meaning, but it's still not clear, so you translate what you think they mean, get it wrong, and they're sighing in exasperation. πŸ™ƒ

Sigh.

Teen artists portrayed their lives β€” some adults didn't want to see the full picture "What is it like to be a teen right now?" Young artists explored that question for two different exhibitions of their work this summer. But on the National Mall, their work was deemed too political.

Why invite youth to develop and present their own art exhibition if you're just going to censor it when it scares your sensibilities.

Ah yes, the 'good, decent' white man. This scene is the stuff movies should be made of.

Norman's and Sammy's deaths broke me.

Isn't it? And that's not to speak anything of the amount of water used in the process. We can talk about the everyman's environmental footprint but its also important to note that over 60% of emissions come from corps. And that's not even counting the fact that society encourages unsustainability.

Whether they attacked her because they thought she was a lesbian or trans, it boils down to looks, a boyish haircut (they used to be popular). How long before the only acceptable female standard is the Mar a Lago look: long hair, makeup put on with a trowel, and pneumatic lips and others bits?

Good for you; at least the racism here is less likely to get you killed and you get decent health insurance.

These weeaboos/otakus are most vexing.

A big misconception about Greenland is that since it’s labeled a Danish colony, its residents are just a bunch of white dudes named Kristianβ€”which is extremely harmful and inaccurate.

The population is 85% Indigenous! It belongs to the Kalaallit people, not to Denmark and CERTAINLY not to the U.S.

In 1956, Nikita Khrushchev said, "We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within."

Orange Man's family had always been a Russian asset (as well as KKK), but the snowball started to roll with Nixon & Ronnie Reagan.

A black and white Tuxedo cat stands in front of a dreamy abstract background in various shades of blue and gazes curiously upwards. Soft, loose, abstract brushstrokes create a sense of depth and movement around the cat. The cat's tail is raised in a curved shape.
Happy Tuxedo Cat is an acrylic painting in portrait format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.

18 Commonly Missed Signs of ADHD in Children and Adults and why it matters

There are risks to not recognizing ADHD! ADHD is more than hyperactivity & distraction - studies show a shortened lifespan and significant life struggles when it isn't properly managed. Many signs are subtle, often missed, or dismissed as personality quirks. Could you be overlooking important clues?

Formation of the CIA. Reagan's and Thatcher. The worship of coarse ambition. Rupert Murdoch. The proliferation of reality shows and vapid pseudoscience. The dumbing down of education and erosion of literacy and humanities. The backlash against human rights. Bojo and the Orange Man. The pandemic.
