Your Final Journey. Top Story - June 2023.
The artwork featured in this piece is a print of a watercolor painting by British Columbia, Canada artist Donna Hanlon. Donna is an extended member of my family, through my brother, who was married to her grandmother, and I was happy to support her creativity.

Dancing Dewdrops. Top Story - June 2023.

Discord Distraction (Or Maybe Just Dazed and Confused Dumbassery)
Da heck is this Discord thingy? Maybe I'll give it a try. It looks like I got a message. Yay me. So how do I find my message?

Unaffordable Nourishment
Damning ideologies, while surrendering to unwanted temptations; brought upon by restricting autonomy of common sense.

Know Your Enemy. Top Story - June 2023.
Trigger: Domestic Violence ******* Iris smiled approvingly into the mirror as she applied the final touches of her makeup. The violet-blue eyeshadow would match perfectly with her sister’s sapphire earrings - the “something borrowed, something blue,” segment of her ensemble.
