If Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy wasn't a heroic figure before, he sure is now. There was only one person in the room standing up for freedom. One person who refused to bullied. One real man. 🇺🇦

How it started/How it's going

When you wife finds a 110 year old hand made piece for your home office for $100 you consider yourself fortunate to have married someone who cares so much and finds those hidden bargains. (Oh, the blanket in the recliner is hiding our 88 pound, spoiled Staffy, who’s cold this morning.

This is one of my "have to visit" places whenever I am in New York! I discovered them several years ago and have purchased several signed books from them, both in person and online. They are responsive, awesome, and my goto when I need to purchase mysteries! Glad you guys are here on Bluesky!

I saw a headline this weekend: "Is America Sleepwalking into an Autocracy?" Well, I'm not. I'm not sure what the Democrats are doing right now, but they need to wake the hell up fast and grow a set. My relatives did not fight and die in wars for this sociopath to steal this country from us.

Read it. Then read it again. Then choose what side you're on. There is no neutrality in America anymore.

Democracy doesn't die in darkness. It starts to die with thunderous applause and fanfare by those in attendance. Resistance is not futile. Resistance is necessary.

Another Sunday, another day of writing academic papers. Once I finish this course, I have four more to go to finish my master's degree. Took me 23 years to finish my bachelor's and it will take me two and a half to earn my master's. It's never too late to learn, nor is it ever too late to finish.

Why am I just now learning of this? Dr. Tony Campolo is home now, and while I celebrate his homecoming, we lost a voice of reason in the Christian faith. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/24/u...

This is absolute bullshit bullying by a sycophant, little dick, dictator wannabe with a Napoleon complex. He and Mr. "Look at Me!" Ramaswamy and that narcissistic, misogynist, 34-time felon rapist that tricked the American electorate into electing him. So glad I've ditched that cesspool X he owns.

A few years back, and even today, conspiracy theorists keep saying FEMA is building internment camps around the US. Now, I'm not saying that's true. However, this news out of Texas seems to come close to that theory. Looking more like 1930s Germany every day now. www.chron.com/news/houston...

Okay, #writingcommunity, interesting question time. I share the name with an established and deceased author who has published several books. The author is Eric Jerome Dickey. I do not want to use a pen name. So, best advice on how to handle this? I don't want to be seen as riding coattails here.

To all my #writing friends on here, if you own a domain, I would highly suggest following the instructions here: bsky.social/about/blog/4... so you can have your domain (and website) as your handle here on Bluesky. Since this is vetted, this adds credibility to your profile. #WritingCommunity

Have we learned nothing from history? Or are we, as Americans, simply sheep waiting to be butchered. This smacks of 1930s Germany, and look at what happened there. Some of us will work to stop this madness. I hope you will as well. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/18/u...

I spent 15 years on Twitter/X and accumulated 4500+ followers during that time. That's not a lot, considering how many some accounts have, but I did enjoy interacting with those who followed me. So, I'm starting here, hoping to make new friends with whom I can interact and have good dialogue.

Seriously, WTF is wrong with these people! As an IT guy who must worry about cybersecurity, this is madness! I made the right decision to vote a straight democratic ticket in this election. Next? Exit the Republican party for good and join the Democratic Party. www.politico.com/news/2024/11...

Continuing my intro to Bluesky, two of our adopted fur kids. We also have two adopted orange tabbies: a male, Bubba, who's deaf, and a female, Lulu, the oldest of all four. Tucker is the black and white Pitbull/American Bulldog mix. Penny is the brindle American Staffordshire Terrier. #dogs
