Okay, it's actually a really big weekend for me, my writing, Justice Wing, and stuff like that! As in *multiple* things, so here's the breakdown! Thread. Breakdown thread. It's... thread-worthy. That's weird to type. amzn.to/33LwrcR
First off, there's a TWO DAY COUNTDOWN SALE on "Justice Wing: Plan, Prototype, Produce, Perfect" -- from now until 6am tomorrow, the Kindle is available for $2.99! Tomorrow it goes up to $4.99, and then back to its regular. Or read it on Kindle Unlimited! amzn.to/2RYZirj
Secondly, as I tweeted earlier, and this is not the big thing... "Interviewing Leather" is now available for Kindle and Kindle Unlimited! This is huge for me -- this story changed my life, and finally Chapman and Leather can start paying me back rent. amzn.to/3eP5HP9
And then...

I've wanted to type this since 2007...

THE DEAD TREE VERSION OF "INTERVIEWING LEATHER" IS NOW AVAILABLE AT AMAZON!

amzn.to/3yhpUEH
Since the original version of the serial ended, I've been asked for a print version. And now here it is: the Chapman Interview, the Steve's perspective, AND(exclusively) reactions to the article from Darkhood, Justice Wing, Leather's estranged sister and James Rider!

Wait, who?
Oh. Sorry. Should have explained. "James Rider... the guy whose liquor store was robbed the night Dynamo Girl crossed the aisle and became a supervillain."
Not enough? Well, you can still get "Motivation: Justice Wing Halcyon Days" on Kindle or Kindle Unlimited!

amzn.to/2RWCoku
Still not enough?!

Um... well, sorry, ’cause that's it. Heh. Not sure why I continued the thread.

Heh.

...awkward.
Seriously, "Interviewing Leather" literally changed everything about my writing career and more, and having it out on Kindle and IN PRINT is kind of overwhelming, but in a really good way.
(And for people who want alternatives, "Justice Wing: Plan, Prototype, Produce, Perfect" leaves Kindle Unlimited but becomes available on Kobo, Apple Books, Barnes and Noble, Scribd, and everywhere in mid-June. Leather takes a little long, but then she's like that.)
Thanks, all. Sincerely. Enjoy your saturday.

So. I collated the #ReedRichardsisaSociopath 2014 rant into (God help me) 3 Twitter Moments because both of the archives that had been made of them no longer existed. (And since Twitter's made improvements, this coda/update can be properly threaded to be added to the Moment.) Image
It was... a bit personal for me, too, because one of those archives had been made by Christopher "@robotech_master" Meadows, who died a few months back... and that same morning @LinkedIn had cheerfully invited me to congratulate him for four years at his position.
But, in collating it, I also had to reread it, and thus consider what all this means seven years later, especially in the wake of @MarvelStudios and the MCU both vastly outstripping the comics as the 'definitive' take on these characters, and their upcoming Fantastic Four movie.

We learn a lot of hard lessons in our lives. We are disillusioned, disappointed, disheartened and damaged over and over again, and one of the hardest lessons is this:

Sometimes terrible people make beautiful things.

1/
Art can inspire us. Art can strengthen us. Art can embolden us. Art can save us when nothing else can. And when that happens, we naturally gravitate towards the artist.

But it's the art that did all that. Most of the time, we don't know the artist. It just feels like we do.

2/
And sometimes, the artist becomes so bound up in our impression of the art they made that we refuse to see their feet of clay. We refuse to see the ugly side. We want to believe that artist *is* the art they made.

But they're not.

They never, ever are.

So, a weird thing happened. We haven’t been in a position to make k-cups of coffee since the start of the work from home period. No big — I’ve mostly gone with coffee or cold bubbly caffeine.

1/
But @wednesday got some of the single serving Maxim (Japanese) instant coffee sticks, and they were really good. So we got some more Maxim instant (the full blue bag), and as an experiment we grabbed some Taster’s Choice hazelnut, just to see how it worked out.

2/
We have a Zojirushi water heater (a wedding gift from @hoover_dam) so making instant coffee’s a matter of seconds. And we went i to the experiment hoping it would be... well, good enough for hot caffeine in a rush.

(Spoilers for last season's Dr. Who.)

So. If the Doctor is the Timeless Child, with lives upon lives before their memories scraped away before they become the 'first' Doctor/William Hartnell... what if that means we never understood what @SawbonesHex's Sixth Doctor was?

1/
We know that thanks to the Fifth Doctor's regeneration being "different" thanks to poison and gadflys swirling around his head, the Sixth was unstable, given to fragments of earlier lives coming out now and again.

(I always thought @SawbonesHex was brilliant for the record.)

2/
And then we had the Trial of a Time Lord, where (yet more spoilers) the Valeyard prosecuted him, only to apparently be the "final incarnation" of the Doctor and all his worst impulses, looking to take the Sixth's incarnations and life.

...but what if we misinterpreted?

In the spring of 2001, I was going to a meeting at the place where I worked then and still work now. Another of the people at the meeting was an academic dean of our school. She was perhaps the purest expression of academia *at* that school.

1/
That day she was literally wearing a tweed blazer. Before she'd become a dean she'd been an English teacher. Now, the epitome of English Teachers, in my brain, was and remains my father. That day she was a close second.

2/
That day I said hello and asked how she was or somesuch.

She gave me a slightly wry smile. "Oh, you know. Measuring my life in coffee spoons," she said. I chuckled, and we may have traded a couple more lines of 'Prufrock.' I'm not sure.

Ferengi were a joke. Even when they were supposed to be the new Big Bad at the start of TNG, they were someone for Starfleet to smugly deride because they were capitalists.
On Deep Space 9, those expectations were subverted. @ShimermanArmin as Quark was a revelation -- and called Starfleet's attitude what it was: *racism.*

But more than that,with Rom you got to see the Ferengi as the continuum of people and personalities they were, not as one-note.
And then... @AronEisenberg played Nog. Nog, who started as an abused child denied basic literacy and taught to hate Hoo-mons, then became Jake's best friend, became a different viewpoint but not a joke. Never a joke.
