@revmindi.bsky.socialIn *your* gas tank, *your* groceries, cuts to *your* health insurance. It wasn't evil when it didn't affect you. It was fine for others because they deserved it. But when it happened to you, that's when you finally had enough. He didn't change. And neither have you.
@revmindi.bsky.socialSo our neighbors with the T flag finally took it down. My theory though is not that people are seeing the light, it's that they somehow think he's changed. No, honey, he was always evil. You're just now experiencing it yourself.
@revmindi.bsky.socialAmazing game for the #Brewers!
Jackson Chourio!

@revmindi.bsky.socialI'm glad I was able to sponsor an award this year! Others should step up to do so, too! It's very ... rewarding!
It feels good to do a good thing for other writers.

@revmindi.bsky.socialInspiration is at hand! Back into book 3 of the Stardust and Ashes series. #amwriting
Book 3 is a direct sequel, but all the POV's are women. Given the violence against women and the silencing that continues to happen, I needed them to tell what happened - and have women take power back.
