The project is almost done, and this is my last four day "writing weekend". I bought some art to celebrate using the Oviedo Mall as a frequent writing spot over the last 5 years. (Today was my last trip out there. I typically use Altamonte Mall, closer to home.)

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

I love writing fiction because no matter how unrealistic it might be, I can make anything up, and make it make sense, like a functioning society

I wish we could cultivate a culture where people get excited about and share the new skills they've learned more than the new stuff they've bought.

5/3 😤 …where the Time of Forgetting began. And where it may begin again.

4/3 😫 …until the powers of writing and speech became the power to create and destroy, to dominate one another, and to fashion themselves into gods. Now, as Rai Ver While falls under siege, Sarsa and her allies execute a bold plan to travel across the conquered Earth, to the City of Falling Water…

3/3 The ability to write is the ability to control the ancestors' technology. This Falling Eden is a futuristic twist on the Tower of Babel story, set in an Edenic world where it's said Noah talked God out of flooding the Earth. The force of mankind's one language increased with each generation…

2/3 Two brothers, Nitcef and Venitcen, capture a writing pad from the enemy and flee with their village to Rai Ver While, a city under the protection of Zanine, their tribe’s only Sky Person. Only Sarsa, Zanine’s granddaughter, knows what the writing pad represents.

Just throwing this out there, but back in Ye Old Internet Times the links you had already visited would be purple and links you hadn't been to would be blue and I'm wondering if that sort of paradigm might be useful for helping people spot social media accounts engaged in impersonation.

Hi, Bluesky. I originally went to Mastodon as my Twitter replacement, but I’m thinking about here instead. Certainly feels more like the old platform.
