Like really...I've been taking half a year of deep breaths. I have become a sullen lurker.
In case you hadn't noticed, I am a rampaging liberal. This year has been...disappointing to say the least. I was really hoping humans were starting to outgrow their respective bigotries. Heh. Nope. Time for a good plague.
Artistically, the other side of this was I agreed to co-write with a person who I thought I understood, and who I thought understood and respected my writing. I was wrong. Though the course of this team up I found out my writing is so poorly done that this person completely missed: the importance of about 1/2 of my characters, the priorities of the rest, and really anything about how my universe works. It was so blatantly obvious that said person had very little regard or understanding of my storyline...to the point I had to ask why she even wanted a crossover in the first place.
I know that I am not the strongest writer...no matter how hard I try, but given that this person credits my story with starting her own expansive writings I had hoped that it was of some value to at least one person outside of myself and MGM. I was quite wrong.
It was...degrading... to put it mildly. I doubt I'll write again to be honest.
Then I found out that this person is a religious bigot. Totally thinks all Muslims are guilty of some horrible act of terror and so on. Due process is only for Christians and all.
As a Jewish person, all I hear is great shades of Hitler. It is unbelievable to me that I was friends with this person for so long. I feel...stupid..and unclean. I also feel that neither my art, my writing, or my actions have been clear enough as to who I am and what my art is about, because she was seriously surprised that I want nothing more to do with her.
So let's clear this up. I am not trying to start a political controversy here. DA is supposed to be my happy place. Just clarifying my message.
If you think justice is only for white Americans of Christian persuasion we are not friends. GTFO my watch list.
If you have any problem whatsoever with how the LGBTQ community lives their lives we are not friends. GTFO my watch list.
If you think African Americans have nothing to complain about with how often they get shot for no damned reason we are not friends. GTFO my watch list.
If you think all women who accuse men of sexual assault have some sneaky agenda we are not friends. GTFO my watch list.
If you think it is unfair to demand businesses and corporations to clean up their own fucking messes we are not friends. GTFO my watch list.
If you think the huge of majority of climate scientists made up climate change for some dumb reason we are not friends. GTFO my watch list. Actually if you put anything at all ahead of actual science we are not friends. GTFO my watch list.
If you think tax cuts for the 1% are somehow more important than meals for seniors or kids...or even animals...we are not friends. GTFO my watch list.
If you think lying that fame let's you grab women by the privates with impunity and teaching a younger man that that's a measure of status and coolness is somehow better than actually doing it yourself (and I totally believe this guy didn't just grab women, but raped a 13 yr old girl...read upon it) and voted for the Orange Diarrhea Dirigible ANYWAY we are not friends. GTFO my planet please.
There's more...but that should clear most things up.
I am not looking to debate this stuff. Honestly if you think there is something to debate at all here I have nothing to say to you. I am quite looking forward to seeing a drop in the number of watchers I have. Please let me know if I should un-watch you in return. Oh...and in case you were wondering if I ever do shit like this in real life the answer is a resounding HELL YES! I am a very patient and forgiving person and I look for my own mistakes first, but there are lines you don't cross with me.
Cheers.

Life, loss, lurking...ya know. The usual.
Hey,
I hope you are all OK.
I haven't been on much and won't be on much for a while. I will do my best but I am trying to teach art from home and it's... Yeah.
Since my last journal we moved in, sold our little house (first day!), and did our best blend our pets and our stuff. It wasn't going great. The cats don't get along and so we are doing time in the main house in shifts until they learn not to destroy each other. Ditto for me and MIL. I think it went better for us than most, because I really did love her and we had a lot in common. Nevertheless we also had a matching stubborn streak and it caused some fireworks. I think she w
Life Update...or AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Hi.
Been absent a lot...which fills no one with surprise because I suck at keeping up with shit. I do have a range of new and glorious excuse though so here goes.
I hurt my back in the fall...had surgery in the spring, and am better. Mostly.
This is mostly a perfect storm of horrible timing though because around the same point that this went down, my mother in law's life also sort of fell apart. She's moving in with us. Now...I can hear the collective sound of folks expressing sympathy for such an awful thing as to have your MIL move in with you. Cease. I love her. She and I are like the same person in many ways (which says somethi
Transformers date night
Went to see the original Transformers movie last night with my ~MGMags (https://www.deviantart.com/mgmags) and Oz. Had a blast - still fun!
Also...I have to wonder...why now? 'Cause we're all looking at the Bumblebee trailers and thinking "Gee that's an awfully G1 looking: Optimus, Shockwave, Soundwave, and Ravage...." Could it be a G1ish reboot is in the air? Hard not to get hopes up after Bay's trash for one film after another.
It is nice to see the new director saying "I grew up with these characters."
RESPECT THE CHARACTERS! Not the look necessarily or even the history...but respect the CHARACTER of the character.
Then maybe you can sell me a ticket or ten.
Updates and observations: WARNING-contains whining
Ok, so sorry for the long silence but it turns out narcotics silence not just my pain but any creative impulse I have...including writing. They suck. I needed them, but they suck.
First some history. This new knee was not for an injury. My hips are a bit off, which causes no pain, but twisted my femur to the outside. My kneecaps ride WAY off center in both legs. They pop in and out of joint with very little pressure (I can do it in my sleep) and have been grinding away at the connective tissue since my first step. I can also bend the joint entirely backwards if I step wrong. <- More on that later. I've had arthritis since high s

Have I ever told you I love you? These last 10 months have been utterly depressing for me with the political outcome. Its hard to watch the news anymore, I just end up getting enraged by all the hatred in our country. I won't make a novel long rant, but your journal made me smile knowing there are more people out there who have the same mindset as me
