#writerscoffeeClub 6: How has your past writing shaped your present writing?
The same way everything else in my life has shaped my writing. It's all part of the substrate...
Good morning lovely 🦜🦜
I'm loving seeing your clips of Ziggy, she's quite a character 💕
Good luck with getting her to take her meds.
FIFA awarded Donald Trump its so-called Peace Prize during the 2026 World Cup draw, without clear criteria, a shortlist, or transparency. Thousands of fans will travel to U.S. matches, generating attention, economic activity, and prestige that will bolster Trump and his administration, while supporting systems like ICE, whose enforcement practices echo oppressive forces in history.
This exposes a truth about humanity: people prioritise tickets, matches, and spectacle over systemic injustice. The same would happen if another state with documented human-rights abuses, such as Israel, hosted the World Cup. Entertainment and national pride consistently outweigh oppression, allowing governments to normalise power and distract from ongoing violence.
The Trump Peace Prize is not a recognition of peace. It shows how sport can legitimise regimes, reinforce injustice, and reveal how humanity tolerates cruelty when it conflicts with comfort, pleasure, or spectacle.

#WordWeavers 6. What kind of food does your antagonist prefer?
Dishes served at the Margraff-Elector's own table are traditional Pristinist fare and show a virtuous disdain for imported spices and ingredients. The dishes he eats the most when dining at His Excellency's table - which he does as often as possible, for strategic reasons, of course - are somewhat different.
Her late Excellency once spent several months making sure he was only served Pristinist dishes, and he could not complain.

Jeg har lyst til å hyre inn noen til å holde et foredrag om hvordan vi bør desentralisere og begrense personlige data, fordi fascisme er så mye lettere hvis man får starte med gode databaser man kan bruke som våpen. Gjerne med fokus på hva privatpersoner kan gjøre, men systemnivå er også interessant.
Er det noen som allerede er ekspert på dette og kan leies inn, eller blir jeg nødt til å lage dette selv?

#ScribesandMakers 6 Dec: if the internet permanently stopped functioning, would you still share your creative work? If so, how?
Short answer: yes!
Longer answer: what do I still have?
1. Current tools & apps w/o websites
2. 90's pre-web programs but email exists
3. '80's tech all around (UGH)
1. create books & ebooks like now & share via email, snailmail & in person at cons.
2. Much the same as 1, but slower, w/lots more customer service via phone.
3. I'd have to print zine versions.
Ah. I thought email wasn't happening, either. To me, that's part of the internet.
If email still works, things would be a LOT easier. Newsletters would still be effective, we could go back to having mailing groups, etc.
Without email, we're practically back to bookselling as it was in the 1980s.

I overthink things, but I find that lot of times when people say "internet" they mean the last 25 years of the post-Amazon/Google/Facebook/Twitter online landscape. Which, okay, understandable, but current systems are NOT synonymous with the concept of connecting a computer to the wider online world.
By 1991 or so I was up with email & USEnet, and using browsers/search engines before 1994. It wasn't the *same* internet, but it was *an* internet.
