I had the misfortune of interacting with a person who thinks ICE are the good guys & that people in Minneapolis are interfering with lawful actions by leos. I was able to divert the conversation before I did something illegal. The situation didn't allow for actual conversation. Hope she dies soon

I adore this coloring book, it stays in my pottery bag for inspiration :D
May I interest you in a coloring book as a temporary distraction from the Big World? I drew all the art myself (no AI, no clipart) based on ancient Minoan art and artifacts. Details and sample pages here:

Where did the Minoans fit among the many other ancient cultures you're probably familiar with? You might be surprised!
Who were the Minoans' neighbors?
Where do they fit in the ancient timeline?

watching Johnny Mnemonic 1995: In 2021, society is driven by a virtual Internet, which has created a degenerative effect called "nerve attenuation syndrome" or NAS. Megacorporations control much of the world, intensifying the class hostility already created by NAS.

huh, one interesting side-effect of watching true crime videos is that it really drives home just how fucking ineffective and stupid cops are and how often the only reason anyone is caught is because the criminal is somehow dumber than the cops

I miss Holly. There are so many things I've learned that I want to talk with her about. I'm so thankful she went out of her way to make memories with me before she died. I miss her so much.

So because Patreon decided the two podcast episodes I post on the 31st counted for January instead, I didn’t get the payment I normally use for rent and bills (in this case, my car payment). I was going to try and stretch until February, but it’s not going to work as it stands. So, um, I have these.

As an author, I'm a small business doing my best to be seen in the crowded marketplace. Each week, I share one of my creations with you. Maybe one of them will ring your chimes. Up this week: a little gay romance (not very spicy, sorry).
