Sunday morning my mother was in great health.
Sunday afternoon she had a violent aneurysm.
Today, after tests, I refused further work and ordered palliative care. She is in hospice.
Her wishes were not to suffer with mental impairment or in a hospital bed.
I am awaiting the call.

I'm late to announce this but my debut novel, The Order of Grimm, won an award! Many thanks to the readers at @indiebrag.bsky.social for voting for it. This means so much to me. When I first wrote Grimm and really didn't know if anyone else would be interested in my little fairytale heist.

No… Tucker,
you are not welcome, forgiven, excused, or given the benefit of the doubt.
You laughed on TV while children suffered and you did it for years, because the money was good.
You can rot.
Americans are getting more worried about having enough money for a comfortable retirement, because of rising costs and fears about the health of entitlement programs.

If you’re in Virginia, for the sake of everything that matters to the rest of the civilized world, please get out today and vote yes on the constitutional amendment
You can help Ahmed's family survive Israel's genocide right now by sharing & donating. They're starving, sick, & homeless under constant attack. His parents urgently need healthcare, & he's exhausted from trying to get attention through Bsky's hostility. They're not getting enough to survive:

I don’t necessarily think that it’s useful for serious political figures to endeavor to fully dissolve — as opposed to regulate and constrain — corporate entities, but I’d make an exception for Palantir. It cannot coexist with liberal democracy and it openly says so
This, (from AP) … Listed under “Entertainment” is weird.
But this an indictment against America.
As if 90% of Americans aren’t already the most undereducated, insular, illiterate and dumbed down people on the planet they’re Still banning books FFS!
It’s no wonder you’ve got the dumbest President!

Virginia Woolf, more than a hundred years ago:
There’s something mentally wrong with the President of the United States.
Bloop!

It's incredible that these levels tolerating this level of open corruption.

I like presidents and their cabinet who don't sue for reporting the truth.
It looks like the world is being wise about the world cup. I am an American, it is NOT SAFE for anyone here. They give idiots a gun, authority, and no training.
If I murder someone, I go to jail or worse. If ICE murders someone for no reason, they get praise from the president.
A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.
randomly remembering that I checked out A History of Witchcraft from my elementary school library between 4th and 6th grade, so many times that the librarian sent me to the school counselor and then removed the book from the research section.
We've all seen the videos of ICE pulling people out of their cars, shooting citizens with pepper balls, and even worse killing Americans in the streets.
This is not normal. And it cannot continue.
ICE needs commonsense guardrails NOW.
ICE detained the wife of an active-duty U.S. Army Sgt. First Class after she showed up for an immigration appointment in 📍 El Paso—then still threatened removal despite legal protections.
Her husband (27 years active duty) said it plainly: ICE is out of control.
