Leftists need to quit with the empathy-centred rhetoric and focus on how socialism will improve the material living conditions of the people they are trying to reach. I'm not saying empathy is bad, but you don't sell an idea by talking about how it will benefit someone's neighbour.

Repost with the first album you bought with your own money. I was excited to buy it but unfortunately found it a bit underwhelming 😬

If the Murderbot show doesn't have narration I'm gonna start flipping tables

Everyone who leapt at the opportunity to eviscerate Daniel Greene looking like pretty shitty people now. Let those who were too quick to action be less hasty in future and understand that serious allegations require a mature response and due process

It's more important than ever to share human art, flaws and all. So here is some flawed art of mine. I got into making fantasy collages as practice to hone my design skills. They might not be technically accomplished but I still enjoy them. Art doesn't have to be perfect.

The problem with joining the crows at feast is that you end up with a belly of turning meat

Writing Tip: If your twist/reveal is less interesting than your red herring then you have them the wrong way round.

Knowing that @benjaminaeveryn.bsky.social has his next book coming out very soon, it lit a fire under me to return to Rainfallen series with book two Secret of the Thistle. I started Saturday and am nearing the 50% mark already. Such a fun easy read!

Last read: The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett Current: Gods of the Wyrdwood by @rjbarker.bsky.social & Stone of Farewell by Tad Williams Next: It depends what mood I'm in... Probably the next book in one of the many series I've started. Maybe some Realm of the Elderlings? Maybe Sun Eater?

Just spent half an hour rewriting and fine-tuning a single line. So that's the stage we're at with Venomborn edits πŸ˜…

Finished Wind and Truth and it has me musing on the Cosmere as a whole. I think this book has cemented something I (and others too, I'm sure) have been feeling for a while, which is that these books aren't epic fantasy anymore, they're superhero stories through-and-through.
