Wow! Glad I dumped Target when they pulled their DEI rollbacks. If they hadn't done that, there might have been someone working there to flag this as a REALLY BAD IDEA. www.cnn.com/2026/08/24/b...

My brain needs dark and cold and coffee. Anyone else have trouble writing in the summer? All my thoughts are so much cottonwood fluff blowing in the breeze.

For my fellow Americans, confused by Count Binface.
Right. Okay. This requires some backstory. In 1984, a small, low budget film studio in North Carolina produced a parody of Star Wars, called Hyperspace. It was released in the U.K. as ‘Gremloids’. The main character, shown here, was Lord Buckethead.

Three hours after starting #5amWritersClub, I have a 500 word synopsis. I am thrilled. But also, WHY are these so hard? This document represents 106 pages of brainstorming and rough draft that came before.
