<p>Esta semana se publica «Sky», una novela corta de terror escrita por Kaaron Warren que cuenta con mi traducción para La biblioteca de Carfax.</p><p>Esta es la tercera novela que traduzco para la editorial y no cabe duda de que es la más inquietante de todas, ¡y eso que no hay ningún elemento fantástico! No hacen falta ni fantasmas ni vampiros cuando se escriben personajes y ambientaciones tan bien como lo hace Warren.</p><p><a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a> <a href="/tags/literaverso/" rel="tag">#literaverso</a></p>

<p>Would any writer or aspiring want to collaborate on a sort of coffee table book?

I sent the idea to trump; I heard he was very enthusiastic.</p><p>Boosts 🙏 <a href="/tags/writer/" rel="tag">#writer</a> <a href="/tags/writers/" rel="tag">#writers</a> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a> <a href="/tags/art/" rel="tag">#art</a> <a href="/tags/uspol/" rel="tag">#uspol</a></p>

the oval office from a high fish eye angle showing a distorted fathead sitting at OUR resolute desk ruining our country. The room is completely spattered with ketchup but looks like a murder scene as well.

What I am looking for writing is just a few sentences to set the situation that is depicted, a brief explanation of why the image is relevant what was going on I just do not have the emotional bandwidth to stick myself back there go thru it again. Not that is if I can find someone else why wants to take the trip down memory lane in Morder for me. Still with me? Keep reading the alts.

This is my imagining of the remodel of the Reflecting Pond in dc. a huge trashy over done yet cheap combination street fair swap meet exhibition where platform divers off the Washington Monument and synchronized swimmers cavort in the water with orcas dolphins a couple of frogmen no doubt spying on the synch swimmers and a couple of submarines. Fireworks spell out his name as vendors hawk games cheap food and the Lincoln Memorial is reduced to a changing towel room.

what I am looking for is just a few lines what was happening how we felt about it told to a stupid person who has no idea with as much fun and sarcasm you want to throw at it. What started me thinking this was the ads running for using ai (we will NOT BE USING AI) to print shit books on Amazon kindle. Well what if we publish an actual book on kindle? we can start with just a few pages see if we get any response positive feedback from here what do you think?

This is the Arch he wants so bad reimagined as his actual Triumph; the mountain of paperwork his crimes marriages frauds bankruptcies have created.

2016 escalator ride was I think the first one of these I made for the anti trump pages in facebook. I continued on this tack but I had a great job a401K and a future. A demanding bf house yard animals my days were full. 12 hour overnights building these massive multimillion $$$$ machines for Intel and the other chip makers. I had savings no debt 401k kicking car. All all gone.

the photoshop became my only outlet during covid which caused me to lose all of the above. The photoshops were a way to keep connection to humanity so exploded, plus all that time suddenly on my hands. And then stopped for 4 years pretty much.

Then it started up again for some reason now I do this pretty much full time.

So far all the ideas are pretty much mine, but this was a special request by @staringatclouds so she will need credit when we are winning our pulitzer. I had already done two pages of art poking at his ridiculous godchristdoctor bullshit ai he posted but someone said what if he was instead of healing, smothering and picking his pocket. I went with a smothering the statue of liberty the model of which was a guy dressed as the statue from a gay pride parade I found. He will need credit as well. Hope to hear from at least one person that thinks this may be a fun project. I am almost always here, esp for hashtaggames. im in oregon if that makes any difference though I am perfectly happy with someone outside us wanting to make a fool of our pres.

Self-Portrait by Federico García Lorca for *Poeta en Nueva York*

A large dreaming face dominates the centre, eyes closed, crescent moons on the cheeks. Surrounding skyscrapers are covered in alphabets and numbers. Black demon-like creatures prowl the margins. A winged figure floats above. A piano keyboard appears on the right.

A two-panel Charlie Brown comic.

In the first panel, three young children (Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Linus) stand outside. One of the children, Linus, approaches the other two children, holding a library card, and says:

"Look! Library card! I've taken out a library card!"

He stands proud, holding his library card to his chest, and continues:

"I have been given my citizenship in the land of knowledge!"

“When the Party entered”

[Copyright 1894 by George Allen.]

A detailed pen-and-ink illustration captioned "When the Party entered," depicting five figures in Regency-era dress — two men and three women — in an animated social gathering scene, with the women in high-waisted gowns and elaborate coiffures reacting to one another's presence.

2 copies of Jacques And The Great Art Theft sit basking in sun light. they look resplendid in their canary yellow covers.

My withered and taloned claw like hand holds open the first 2 pages of the Jacques comic. It's an establishing shot that shows that Jacques lives in Paris, lives in a shabby apartment and is struggling to find his gloves.

My beautiful hand holds open a page of the Jacques comic. In this sequence Jacques is descending from rooftops gracefully only to be foiled by a pesky pigeon.

Once again my ageless and delicate fingers hold open a page of the Jacques comic, in which our titular hero is springing through the air in a perfect somersault to catch their errant umbrella

<p>NEWLY PUBLISHED BOOK TO READ</p><p>My latest book - THE WILD - takes the view that "anarchy", often extrapolated in and through the historical, socially-derived politics of anarchism, should instead be characterized on a naturalistic and queer basis as "the wild" (in much the same way as Kropotkin observed nature and came up with the principle of "mutual aid" in fact). </p><p>Through thirteen chapters this idea is then teased out, explained and extrapolated as something both ethical and political that is contrary to patriarchal, capitalist, industrial and technological human civilization as it has developed. </p><p>As such, this book is both a call to the wild (and to the truth and reality of the wild) and to the assertion that in feralness there is an authenticity of the mutual co-existence of all things to be found. </p><p>The book can be downloaded FOR FREE from the link below in multiple formats or read online. It can also be read to you via text to speech on that page.</p><p><a href="https://archive.org/details/the-wild-ethics-and-anti-politics" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="archive.org/details/the-wild-ethics-and-anti-politics"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">archive.org/details/the-wild-e</span><span class="invisible">thics-and-anti-politics</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/politics/" rel="tag">#politics</a> <a href="/tags/anarchism/" rel="tag">#anarchism</a> <a href="/tags/anarchy/" rel="tag">#anarchy</a> <a href="/tags/wild/" rel="tag">#wild</a> <a href="/tags/wildlife/" rel="tag">#wildlife</a> <a href="/tags/feral/" rel="tag">#feral</a> <a href="/tags/nature/" rel="tag">#nature</a> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a> <a href="/tags/writing/" rel="tag">#writing</a> <a href="/tags/queer/" rel="tag">#queer</a> <a href="/tags/nihilism/" rel="tag">#nihilism</a> <a href="/tags/indigenous/" rel="tag">#indigenous</a> <a href="/tags/civilization/" rel="tag">#civilization</a></p>

Links to both books are at the bottom of this post.</p><p>My next series is in the works, and will be fantasy/LitRPG!</p><p><a href="https://a.co/d/0esYBlHI" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>a.co/d/0esYBlHI</a></p><p><a href="https://a.co/d/08y5oO1L" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>a.co/d/08y5oO1L</a></p><p><a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#Books</a><br><a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#Bookstodon</a><br><a href="/tags/cats/" rel="tag">#Cats</a><br><a href="/tags/catsofmastodon/" rel="tag">#CatsOfMastodon</a></p>

An orange tabby cat sits behind the book Out of the Fire Into the Furnace

A team of scientists discover intelligent alien life, and start a dangerous race to capitalize on the opportunity. As the decades pass, however, first contact fades from living memory, and is mysteriously absent from any official historical records.
For the next five centuries humanity ventures out to the stars, their various political factions leaving no shortage of problems for an enterprising crew to make a living off of. The mercenaries of Specialized Support Contractors were only looking for small jobs befitting their fledgling company, but soon find themselves forced into the limelight when their employer’s ambitions place an ancient alien weapon in their possession. Digging deeper into the origins of their cargo brings even more heat from vested interests who want the truth of humanity’s first contact with alien life to be kept secret. With entire planets caught in the crosshairs of a looming interstellar war, any choice the mercenaries make could have catastrophic consequences.

A 5 star review that says:

Fast and fun!

Take a deep breath before you start reading, because this story moves FAST! While jumping between two timelines, the author is able to keep a clear focus and maintain a high energy. You won't get lost and you won't want to put it down! While there are a lot of details that help to real ground the story in a gritty world, the details don't come at the expense of the flow. There are none of George Martin's length asides to describe elaborate meals or give detailed descriptions of fancy outfits. Don't worry about the food and the clothes - this book takes you straight to the action!
