Another writing cycle. Folio Fall. It will be the one year anniversary of me taking my writing into a whole new direction.
I will more than likely do my writing & #ZapWhamPow stuff here.

Too many white people ask why black people are not going to the protests. They're tired. They've done it for decades. The last time they did was for George Floyd & look what happened. White people, it's time to stand up & fight back.

I want to go. To see comics like Riki Lindhome, Jacqueline Novak, and others make me yearn for the Fringe.

Israel has chosen to end the lives of tens of thousands of women and children, and to them—and their Hannibal Directive—it does not matter whether the victims are Palestinian or Israeli, journalist or nurse, child or woman. They remind me of a particular country in 1940.

I’m glad SCOTUS stepped in & stopped that plane from taking off. Deporting folks with no record & no due process isn’t justice—it’s cruelty. Meanwhile, the Republicans follow a convicted felon like he’s the Second Coming. You can’t scream “law & order” while breaking the law at every turn.

POW or Perusing Over Words is for the readers. It falls under a book, e-reader, audio book, etc. Goal is 250 pages read, 10 hours of audio book, and I forgot the goal for fan-fic sites. I will utilize audio book, e-reading and at least one hardback for now.

WHAM or Writing Hard All Month. We can write either poetry, novella, short stories, etc. I'll be working on a WIP I started in 2023 that is in the second act. The goal is 50k words written by the end of May. Ever 10k words earns a letter. Now for POW.

Until the poor and middle class see that this isn't a race issue, but a wealth issue we'll be doomed to repeat it. The billionaires spun the narrative that pit us against each other. We'll have to fight like hell to even get back some anything remotely close to what we had before Trump.
