I got this from an anonymous source. I have never heard of #Irregular or #effort.news Does anyone know anything about this particular piece of work; is it propaganda?

Cosmo laughed seeing the white out exam Jin did. It amused him that Jin made the #effort to make the exam vanish. "Fucking dumbass..." He struggled to speak through his giggles. "You're supposed to white out one question, not the entire exam!"
"It's not that funny, Cosmo!" Bailey scolded. #WIPSnips

Pretty words are easy. Effort is harder to fake. I notice the ones who follow through without needing to be chased, reminded, or applauded

Excerpt from the #novel TUSK: a Beringia Story - an epic adventure following the Clan of the Mammoth
#read #books #BookSky

*With preparations for their journey complete, a new leader of the clan begins to emerge.

The preparations have been underway and are near completion, Jawsuwa said. With a concerted effort they could leave within days. The way of the wander is the way of the clan, he noted. Murmurs of agreement echoed in the air.
These caves had been their homes for a lifetime, Jawsuwa said. The clan had grown soft and lazy, and he reminded them they had always followed the herds, had always moved across the land finding sustenance and purpose. To grow roots and wallow in place is not the way of the clan. He knew the path to the river, as shown on Hooyip’s tusk, and would lead if Molak would not, all those inclined to follow. For those who chose to stay behind, Jawsuwa offered homage, for their doom was as certain as the coming cold. With his words said, Jawsuwa shuffled through the gathering. He nodded to Hooyip and sat closely to his family, joining hands they formed a circle of five. He spoke softly to his family. Around him the clan spoke among themselves. Then Jawsuwa moved again, to stand at Hooyip’s side. Baan also left Molak’s side and moved to stand beside her youngest son. Her eyes stared back at Molak, pleading with him to come, take her hand, join them and unite the clan.

The engine went silent about 100 metres offshore and continued to glide effortlessly towards the beach. LeDouc and Godbout stood waiting as the silent boat approached. Behind them, footsteps on the gravel as Edward approached.

A searchlight blazed from the boat, “Rot in hell, you miserable bastard!” a voice yelled from offshore. A figure stood up. A burst of machine gun fire from the rocking boat sprayed the beach, sending everyone running.

Edward quickly aimed his Glock, shooting twice towards the boat. The first shattered the searchlight. A painful scream meant the second struck flesh. The boat’s motor roared to life. The helmsman steered hard, disappearing into the darkness.

Following a late-night debate on the nature of artificial sentience, android Talyn gives Marcus something to think about

Hold this,” she said. “I shall return momentarily.”“Where are you going?”“Is it not obvious? I require the use of the facilities.”“Oh. Of course. Sorry.”Talyn scowled. “You did not anticipate that I would have such a biological need?”“I guess not.”“That is because you do not understand yourself, Marcus,” said the android. “You do not understand what it means to be artificial.”She left him standing with her drink in his hands and marched away through the crowds towards the restroom. Marcus closed his gaping mouth with effort. That had been quite a parting shot. Way to bring him down, Talyn. But… was she right? Marcus took an idle drink from the android’s glass as he considered her inditement. Booze and caffeine swam together throughout his biological systems. He felt both very fast and very slow. And he wondered. What did it mean to be artificial? If he was not human, if he was just a husk put together with fake memories by an ancient computer, what did that mean for him?And did that detract in any way from the way Talyn’s smile made him feel?

Jer expounds on the delights of seafood, something Cerel has never experienced.

- Brother’s Keeper, my fantasy WIP about two brothers bound by a misunderstood power

“No," Jer said, through a mouthful of meat,
maple glaze glistening on the edge of his lip. "What I'd relish is some crumblefish."

"Crumblefish?"

"From the ocean's deepest waters. The
fishermen of Marik spend days of EFFORT and planning to catch only one or two. They have three eyes along their spine, and their sides sort of ripple, like one big fin. Their mouths are a series of slits in their underbelly—yes," Jer laughed at the expression on Thea's face, "they're ugly, but prepared correctly, they are like cake. Or oysters! Yes, oysters would be good. Did you know they live in shells the size of your two hands, and they make Edain Mailórea's pearls from a grain of sand?"

"Spare me!" Cerel cried. "Is there anything,
anywhere, you haven't eaten?"

Jer grinned. "I hope so."

He tried leaning against the door, but it seemed to press back, opening even further. Exhausted and realizing it was hopeless, he abandoned the #effort, shuffled back to his chair and then slumped into it.

“No one there,” he said.

Talent creates potential, but consistent effort turns potential into results. The people who keep executing often outperform those relying on ability alone.
