thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

My latest flash fiction on Six Sentences. sixsentences.blogspot.com/2025/03/smok...

Since when do "the police" in the U.S. wear masks? www.facebook.com/matthew.mika...

I have a story that I've wanted to write for a long time. But it's very complicated. It covers a timespan of about 50 years & has stories within the story. There are flashbacks, & flashbacks within flashbacks. It probably should be a novel, or at least a novella.

#writingcommunity #booksky I'm amazed at how many people are writing multi-book series.

I'm not saying anything novel here but it really is just truly despicable to watch them use THEIR OWN COLOSSAL SCREW UP to slander the reporter THEY INCLUDED ON THEIR CLASSIFIED GROUP CHAT

No matter what you do, there are people who think you should do something else.

Did you know? Reading fiction improves empathy by strengthening the part of the brain that understands others' perspectives. #booksky #fiction #author

Any advice on where to find publishers of horror flash fiction?

#CSIWritingTips for Crime Fiction #Writers Stop covering dead bodies at crime scenes—or in the mortuary—with white bed sheets or a police officer's 😱 jacket, coat etc... It’s inaccurate and contaminates the body and the scene. 🕵🏻‍♀️📸🔎 #TVProducers #CrimeDrama

Thom Tillis casting the deciding vote to confirm Hegseth, and his shameful silence yesterday, should be a major issue in the 2026 NC Senate race.

Nothing feels worse than finding out everyone else in the group chat made a new group chat without you because they’re planning a war you aren’t invited to

When I was at Starbucks someone got fired for getting drunk and telling her best friend about a new drink that was coming out, which I mention only because it seems like getting fired should be the LEAST punishment for leaking bombing plans to a journalist on ACCIDENT

Who knew the secret was selling cars people like finance.yahoo.com/news/chinese...

Very fun to explain the signal scandal to my 13 year old who truly understands the catastrophe of adding the wrong person to the group chat and absolutely fell out when I showed her the Mike Waltz emojis.

Some years ago, I learned that spilling a little white wine on the keyboard is a lot less destructive than hot cocoa.

"Disposing of the Evidence" by R.K West @ithinkiwrite.bsky.social is today's 75-word #story on Paragraph Planet http:paragraphplanet.com #writingcommunity

My flash story appears on Paragraph Planet today. www.paragraphplanet.com/index.php

“Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth texted highly classified war plans to a journalist after he was mistakenly included in the group chat.” This group of idiot high level officials in the Trump regime were using “Signal” which is not supposed to be used for top secret discussions.

It's no surprise that Zuckerberg is using millions of pirated books to train his AI model. What's a surprise is that writers are still using his unscrupulous companies: Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp. #WritingCommunity www.thebookseller.com/news/society...

Famously, the way to beat fascist bullies is to flop onto your back and say “my vital organs are exposed, take what you want.” Certainly they will stop at the first vital organ.

just found out about this. if you are distributing information under this government be very careful

This plaster sculpture of an elephant is about 100 years old. It used to sit on my great-grandmother's bookcase. There are now only 4 people left alive who remember that.

15 years ago today, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law. As a doctor, I've seen firsthand how the ACA has helped patients get the health care they need.

A DOJ attorney was fired for refusing to restore Mel Gibson's gun rights. She said his case was to be used as an example to start restoring gun rights to domestic abusers and other criminals. Do you see what they're doing here? They are trying to arm people they know will agree with them to fight.

There are certain genres I do not plan to write: romance vampire sorcery fan fiction erotica religious sports historical children's sci-fi But I won't say "never", because sometimes circumstances unfold in unpredictable ways.

I confess, I don't "plot" my stories. I write the beginning, and keep asking myself, "And then what happened? What happened next? And then?"
