I learned today, Mastodon has an edit button.

Mind blown.

Seriously, social media needs an edit button. It only needs to be good for like 10 min and then the post can be un-editable.

Reminder to those in Washington state right now.

If a road has signs saying ClOSED, do not go around. That standing water is more than you car can handle.

Please be safe all.
The rain continues.

I sometimes like my own posts, simply to remind myself it’s okay to love yourself.

Be kind to others.
Be kind to yourself.

Delve 99!

Just one more step until the big 100.

Were you here from the start, or did you stumble into the shadows only now? Do you hold the answers—or are you still wrestling with the questions?

The epic 100th post arrives this Friday. Follow if you dare…

His hand ignited in a blaze of flame and spinning gears, his eyes glowing with an eldritch light. He moved his hand; her body followed in a sickening mimicry. She swept her arm wide, and a cloud of burning cogs slashed through the air like shrapnel. Cheers of wonder became a cry of blood and death.

I like watching the occasional animal vid on social media.

Unfortunately, there’s been a deluge of AI animal vids lately.

Another thing AI has ruined.

As we approach the cataclysmic 100th post, the shadows are shifting, and not for the better.
-
Be warned: Delve was never a fantasy bathed in light. It has always been a descent into darkness.

The gears covered his hand like a gauntlet as they veiled his wife. Cogs floated on light, dancing between them. As it was on that day before the King, so would it be here. This way he could control the device of Jur, use it. She was now a mear puppet on strings. He embraced her. He shoved her away.

How far will someone go to save the world?

Do you stand with Kru in his struggle for an answer, or do the shadows that doubt your mind drive you to seek another?

Delve takes you there, start at pin, new Tues & Fri.

A tear fell from Kru’s eye. While this wasn’t his wife, his mind knew she was a construct of Jur, still, his heart yearned for her. Jur would destroy them and only he could see that. To change that, he had to change everything, even in this world. What they saw, what they believed… what he loved.

Sorry for those who are following along, I wasn't able to get a new post up yesterday. I'll make up for it today!

Had a video meeting today with a new endocrinologist.

As a person with type 1 diabetes, I hate when a dr. simply tries to steam roll a conversation and doesn't take time to listen to what I have to say. So this new endo may be a short association.

Names are important.

Why?

When you spam email me saying you’ve read my book but only call my main character by their given name instead of their nickname, it shows you haven’t read the book.

More AI nonsense.

Delve 100 is almost here!

The countdown is on, and I’m aiming for a spectacular landing for this milestone post. After that, I’ll be stepping back until Jan. 2026! So, now’s the time to catch up, dive deep, and brace yourself.

Remember: the further you go, the darker it gets…

Her skin aglow from the sheen of this world, began to ripple. The coin's dark gears grew as they gnashed and interacted, merging into one cold, unfeeling mass. She screamed as it draped her body. "Stop this now!" she shrieked. “Kru! Give them the wonders, give in to happiness! You must love — obey!"

If I talk about my writing, people say, “Geez, all you do is promote yourself.”

If I talk about other things, people say, “You should promote your writing more.”

I guess there’s a social media balance I just haven’t figured out yet.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR, or Marvel.

I feel like drawing, but I can’t decide what… so I’m taking requests!

What do you want to see?

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

Trigger Warning: We’ve gone deeper, and things are getting darker. What lies ahead may be more than you can bear.
-
It calls to you.
It binds you.
It pleads for answers.
-
The one thing it will never grant you… is escape.

Do you dare seek the unknown?

Every time my computer downloads an update, it starts having issues. Lag, bad connections, and printing errors while the update sits there waiting to be installed. Everything worked fine before the DL.

Once update is installed, everything back to normal. Am I the only one who experiences this?

The long weekend is over, but the long descent into the unknown has never stopped.

100 is approaching, and you didn't heed the warning.

You are already trapped.

Delve, ongoing, new every Tuesday and Friday.

Kru turned on his wife, grabbing her. “I know not this world you have crafted for me. But like in the halls of the king, I will use it the same. It seems my destiny is to use you, I am sorry.”

“No!” She shouted. “You are supposed to embrace the wonders of Jur!”

Kru slammed the coin onto her head.
