I don't mean to brag, he said, bragging, but the cover to my upcoming novel Starter Villain may be the best book cover ever. Also the book is coming out on September 19 and you can totally pre-order it now if that's a thing you like to do. Also, also, the cover artist is Tristan Elwell and he did a fantastic job, which should be obvious because after all it is the best book cover ever

Charlie

Right now, Charlie is talking to me and nudging me. He wants to go for a walk. But I think I'll wait for it to warm up a bit.

In this photograph, I'm standing at the back door and Charlie is giving me the border collie stare as he creeps slowly toward me. Anybody who has a border collie probably knows what I'm talking about.

He had to trample through one more mud hole before coming inside. It rained for a straight week. Winter gets messy in the backyard. This is something we live with as well as his shedding. I positioned a mop at the small back door Foyer. But he's worth it ☺.

I dont want to spoil the ending, but if being a justice isnt worth the pay, that is Thomas admitting to taking money to increase his pay.

No that it needs admitting, arrest the Corrupt Justice.

What if we just consider “desire to own an AR-15” a mental health issue?

Fuck Russel Brand.

That is all.

So here's my #Introduction:

I'm an old broad.

In my life I've done some stuff.

AS in Computer Science 1984.
BA in Philosophy in 2001.
Retired IT pro after 28 years as a programmer/analyst and business analyst.

Attempted to start a union, a co-worker ratted me out, was fired when I refused to discuss it with the employer, was reinstated with back pay per the NLRB.

"T always has gotten away w/it. I share your frustration. it’s fucking maddening. he always somehow has managed to dance btwn the raindrops

but things are different now

look: he’s been indicted. he’s on trial for rape. those are pretty big fucking deals

things are happening. there’s too much going on for something not to stick

you can’t dance between the raindrops in the middle of a shit storm"

Logic says the screw I just dropped should be somewhere by my feet, but science says it's under the couch in the other room.

The #Metaverse - the once-buzzy technology that promised to allow users to hang out awkwardly in a disorientating video-game-like world - has died after being abandoned by the business world.

It was three years old.

This is No. 508, new work from me. I held this one back for some time, revisiting it, modifying it, toying with the colors and textures, trying to get it just right. I sometimes have to remind myself that there's not one right answer when it comes to art, and I am letting this little bird fly free.

A friend just called from jail and asked me to post Bond. Not sure how it will help, but I'll do anything for a old friend.

My doctor told me I’m at risk of heart disease because I eat too much sodium.

I was like, "Na."

@autism101 @actuallyautistic yep, and a wardrobe mostly of clothes I haven't taken out since I moved last (ten years ago).

I have a favourite type for each kind of clothing item and then buy lots the same. Anything else in the wardrobe is unlikely to be touched unless needed for a social setting which is hardly ever.

A few years ago there was an offer on Slazenger T's, all kinds of colours £3 each. I still have many waiting in their packs until I've worn the others out.
