I made a "wendigo" with peanut butter, bacon, and pickles.

David French, both-sidesing #uspol polarization, writes: "It is relatively easy to support the civil rights of people you like (even if you disagree with them). It is profoundly difficult to support the civil rights of people you hate." https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/15/opinion/trump-talarico-maga-religious-political-division.html?unlocked_article_code=1.TlA.bca9.s5KjlDTdrQv1&smid=url-share

What he doesn't say: It's one thing to hate people because of what they say and do. It's another to hate them because of their essential characteristics, like skin color, national origin, sexual orientation, etc. These are not the same.

Um… Slow Neopard came out in 2009.

#PennedPossibilities Does your MC have or wear a signature colour?

"What colors do you want on his doublet, Sir Revin?"
"What?"
Cedric looked down at him.
"He's not a Belthingstone squire. What are YOUR colors?"
"I'm not a noble," Revin said. "I don't have a title or a coat of arms."
"Yet…" Cedric smirked.
Revin was pensive as he walked back to Ravensbelth with David.

Cecelia realized he was about to ask what she was doing in Highlend and so she cut in and asked him instead.
"And what brings you to Highlend, Milord?" (4/4) #wss366

"Cecelia! Of course! You do very much take after your sister. The resemblance is nothing short of… astonishing. Though, of course, anyone would recognize you as one of the Aspidelle girls. May I ask…" he said. (3/4) #wss366

"Pardon me," Cecelia said. "I fear you have mistaken me for my older sister. It is said we look much alike." She was profoundly grateful that she was not wearing her Metterwin's ring.
"Viscount Drache Metterwin, may I #present Lady Cecelia Aster Aspidelle." (2/3) #wss366

As 7 bells was striking, Cecelia came down the stairs and entered the dining room. To her horror, in addition to Lord Kenderback was also Viscount Metterwin. He started when he saw her.
"Lady Kandela! What a surprise to see you here!" (1/3) #wss366

#WordWeavers Is selling your work for money important to you when you write?

The money is not important to me, however, selling books is important for two reasons. First, I want my publisher to be able to recoup the cost of publication. It's not free to publish a book and having a book that sells well enough to at least cover its costs increases the likelihood that you can get the publisher to release more of your books. Second, sales numbers are also persuasive to agents and other publishers.

"But if you can put up some resistance, they can't take for granted that they can get a good read on your thoughts. And you force them to divide their attention."
"You slapped me," Rory said, holding his hand up to his face.
"Aw… Here," she said. "Let me kiss it and make it better." (3/3) #wss366

That shocked him back into action and he pushed back again and harder. He still couldn't stop her from overpowering him, but he did manage to continue to resist.
"That was better," she said. "You'll never be able to stop a determined demon. (2/3) #wss366

No matter what barriers he tried to erect, he felt her invade his consciousness. And again he was naked before her. She loomed over him in his mind. He gave up as he felt his defenses being overwhelmed.
"Don't stop!" she said, slapping him. "Never surrender! Try harder!" (1/3) #wss366

I like Klondike bars, mostly because they have a picture of a white boxer dog on them. I've always assumed it is an homage to the famous stories about the Klondike, *Call of the White Boxer Dog* and *White Boxer Dog Fang*.

Lusa grasped the loose skin between his shoulder blades and gave him the shot.
"There," she said, rubbing his back. "Was that so bad?"
Tau whined and all of the Angels laughed. (5/5) #wss366

Cornered, Tau turned and collapsed to the deck in despair.
"Don't be such a baby," Lusa said, advancing with the syringe. "It's just the update for your medical nano."
The Angels surrounded Tau to pet and stroke him. He whimpered pitiably.(4/5) #wss366

"Don't let him #escape, Angels!" Lusa cried.
He dodged past Zaza, faked out Sisi, jumped over Bebe, and then sprinted for the hatch
David pressed the button and a klaxon sounded as Angels' Wings went into lockdown.
Tau arrived at the hatch and scrabbled at it frantically, to no avail. (3/5) #wss366

As they passed the bridge, Lusa caught David's eye. He nodded and waited with his finger poised over a button.
"Oh, Tau!" Lusa called sweetly, as they walked into the lounge. "It's time for your..."
Tau snorted and rolled over. He caught sight of the blue gloves and sprang to his feet. (2/5) #wss366
