ON SUNDAYS I DO A PROMO POST FOR INDIE WRITERS. BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE DOING VERY GOOD WORK OUT THERE, BUT BEING DISCOVERED IS HARD:  Vignettes by Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike and Book Promo.

Oh, yeah, and three of the regular readers do a little thing where they put up a prompt for writing vignettes. More than one novel has originated in these challenges.  Though I confess today politics seem to have overwhelmed the fun vignette challenges.

CONSIDER THAT IN THE SOVIET UNION, ANYONE WHO DISAGREED WITH COMMUNISM WAS CONSIDERED MENTALLY ILL AND IN NEED OF TREATMENT. THEN READ THIS AGAIN:  Proposed NY bill would grant Gov. Cuomo the power to forcibly detain any individual or group suspected of being a carrier of any contagious disease and require “treatment, preventative medication or vaccination.”

I mean, it’s bad enough we’ve given these profoundly ignorant and mentally blinkered (I’m looking at you, Polis) people the right to rule their fiefdoms like little kings, and dictate who can earn a living and who can’t, and who must see their life saving and business die. But this? This, ladies and gentlemen, is how you create death camps. And no, progressive beliefs don’t mean the authorities won’t do horrible things. On the contrary. It leads them to do horrible things, convinced they must be good, because after all they’re on the side of the arrow of history.

I think it’s time they took an arrow of history to the knee.

YES, THERE IS A CHRISTIAN EXODUS TOO. AND A WEIRD BLURRING OF DENOMINATIONS. A LOT OF US WOULD RATHER PRAY WITH FRIENDS WHOSE BELIEFS WE FIND IN ERROR, OR MAYBE JUST WEIRD, INSTEAD OF SITTING THROUGH ANOTHER SERMON ON RESPECTING GAIA, OR BLM, OR–  The New Jewish Exodus.

Dear Church of the Woke. It’s not so much that we want you to let our peoples go. We want you to go elsewhere to practice your bizarre cult, and let people of belief be. In peace.

NO, SERIOUSLY. WE’VE GOT VIDEO:  Congressional Prayer Ends With Amen And A-Woman .

To all the people I used to think were the stupidest people in creation, to wit those who insisted on “Herstory” to be inclusive: I’m sorry. You’re still dumb as some species of moss that grows on the bottom of rocks, but there are people more linguistically crazy and uninformed than you. I’ll smack you with a philological dictionary last.

OKAY, I STUMBLED INTO THIS WHILE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ELSE, AND ONE QUESTION HAUNTS ME:  List of animals with fraudulent diplomas.

Keep in mind, the article opens this way:

This list of animals with fraudulent diplomas includes nonhuman animals who have been submitted as applicants to suspected diploma mills, and have gotten a diploma, despite not achieving academic success. On occasion, they have been admitted and granted a degree, despite not doing any classes, as reported in reliable sources.

Er…. so there are animals that have achieved academic success? And attended classes?

Pokes Havelock-cat who is sleeping at her feet: what is your excuse, you bum? Why aren’t you an accountant or something? If other animals achieve academic success, what are you waiting for?

(He just gave me a dirty look and went back to sleep.)
