I find it infuriating that NYTimes has a paywall. Like only people with scads of discretionary income have access to the news. This is not a dime paper on the corner. It’s 10 streaming channels, internet, smart phones, Meta, birds, blue skies, password saving apps that let you into every other app.

Thank you. We will elect Joe Biden. This election must give us a president with character because the checks and balances that assure adhering to the rule of law are gone. It will be the character of our leaders that keeps us free. Nicole Wallace says: “Joe Biden is dripping with character.”

I SO hate Amazon. I’ve never purchased even one thing from Amazon. I do want to support authors but I want to make Amazon irrelevant.

They are - changing - and it’s driving the privileged shits absolutely crazy. They’re desperate to reverse it all. Two steps forward. One step back.

I said this a year ago, let the man be the hero he has been, pulling us back from the brink of the fall of our republic. Let him pass the torch. I’m a healthy 71 and I could never do that job, physically. Biden is a decade older, for heck’s sake. Not the right choice. But vote for Biden. Please.

The questions are good and fair. Trump streams bullshit. Avoids answering question. Lies his face off.

This guy can lie like it’s the gospel. And Joe looks stricken. He needs to close his mouth, firm his brow. Finish his sentences. Gezzzzzz. Why didn’t we run Jeffries.

@lupusastartis.bsky.social Good to meet you! Hey, I’m writing a short story that involves a furry theme. If I can crank it to conclusion I might beg you to read it for sensitivity to the culture. Would you be willing? I only have research to help me portray it well.

If you want to be a beta reader I have an 85k word speculative women’s fiction Ms that has gone through prof revision and is awaiting final edit feedback from same. I’d gladly share it with you on Google docs. Every ounce of feedback is treasured. But do not feel obligated in any way. Just offering.

Your comments today are connecting with my thoughts. I write coming of age to midlife and to the golden years. I wonder if anyone will want to publish the stories.

I’m a bit stuck in my own world right now after feedback that readers are soured on a writer because of his really unacceptable behaviors. Of course who he is bleeds into the characters he portrays, but in so many ways I love his work so what does that say about me that I want to emulate his style?

Somebody tell the former president that J.D. Vance is just too handsome to be chosen for VP. The Donald can’t stand next to a guy who is so much better looking. Doug is at least fairly odd-looking, although no man could be less attractive than Donald Trump.

Titles are so hard. I tend to go to poetry for language inspiration. But my developmental editor asked, “What does that title mean?” I said it’s from Fern Hill. Dylan Thomas. I don’t think that landed.

Today is a very important day for me. I have completed a novel. The story has evolved over five years and has benefited from the feedback of four trusted beta readers and a WriteHive mentor. While it may never become a book, I believe it is a very good story and I am proud of my accomplishment.

The wacky crone stage is incredibly liberating. Go for it! There’s sustainability in that style—we don’t get younger.

After 45 years of not choosing to cook or consume red meat (any but fish or fowl) I have to admit, even the smell of it, and especially pork bacon) almost nauseates me.

Ah, no advice here either. Just bemoaning the changes as we age. I always kept butter on the counter, in the fridge, in the freezer. Alas, no more. Sad am I.

When you hit 44 years and the doc wants to put you on Statins you’ll say, “Honey, please don’t buy butter. You know I can’t consume saturated fats anymore. It’s makes me sad to see it sitting in the freezer from January to December; bc Christmas cookies.

I’m 71. Lately I’ve just choked on what women my age are expected to wear. Went to some vintage clothing stores and thrift shopping. Found some quality funky cool things. Decorated a lime green jeans-type jacket with antique buttons. Bought some skinny jeans that fit my stubby body. Making my style.

Also, I am a grandma x 5 and a great grandma x 4 and retired from mid school principal ship at the dawn of COVID. Sh*t show coming. Time to finish writing that coming of age to 40 novel (since I’m coming of an entirely different age at this point. My garden pales to yours but yes, dirt and freshies.

Welcome, Carol! It’s a Soupy Sunday in Salem (writer - alliteration) and I have a stupid cold. Good thing it’s not gardening weather as I rest and buy stock in tissues. I have a Q20, a QE 150, a Baby Lock Quilter’s Choice, a Featherweight, and a spare Singer 30930 just snagged at a sale. So… yup!

I’m a quilter, too. Your greatest hits are so spot on! I’m also a writer. Here are some of mine: Inquiry: How long did it take to quilt that? Me: No idea. Inquiry: What’s your book about? Me: Oh, you know, life basically. Inquiry: Are you published? Me: The words are in print. You want to read it?

@chrislhayes.bsky.social This is simple. Voting is making a choice. Felons have forfeited their right to make that choice. If you can’t make a choice you can’t be the choice.

All who have the spoons to write words now, make a story about justice. Make a story about hope and faith in people knowing right from wrong and belief in people doing right. The jury deserves to read words affirming their honor and courage. We can do more than protect them; we can elevate them.

He is found guilty of 34 counts of felony by a jury of peers. Felons can’t vote. Likewise, should not be allowed to hold the highest office in the United States of America.
