No Answers, No Progress

The hypocrisy from the petty peanut gallery continues. The author of Theology Archaeology has written up yet another lengthy-yet-misleading rant as to how everyone distorts his words. Yet again he has demonstrated no self-awareness, and no ability to reflect upon whether or not he could be at fault. Naturally, he won’t link to any of […]

Writing Prompts: Male Body-Shaming

Body-shaming is not a new phenomenon, though it is a pretty hateful one. It is often directed at women (sometimes by men, sometimes by other women) who do not conform to society’s expectations of beauty and image. Women are often told how they should be, with ridiculous demands around size. These expectations make no consideration […]

Clarification Requested…. and Denied

It would seem the wayward ‘Christian’ author of Theology Archaeology is not quite done distorting our latest head-to-head. It seem he either has a short memory, or he is being dishonest, and I suspect I know which. In a long-winded yet ultimately meaningless rant, he bemoans my lack of understanding of his use of words, […]

Flights of Fancy

I have done my level-best to ignore the rantings of certain individuals, as I have found myself too entangled in time-consuming and fruitless ‘arguments’. This is despite plenty of provocation (see this angry response to a harmless post I made, as well as another angry rant on another post that had nothing to do with […]

Writing Prompts: Gastrodiplomacy

Today’s prompt is delivered (heh) by Dictionary.com, and it is a word that is relatively new to the literary scene: gastrodiplomacy. You are probably wondering what this mash-up of a word means. It is not (as I first thought) the art of feeding diplomats and dignitaries with good food, so as to butter them up. […]

Remote-working is how many previously office-based workers were able to perform their duties during the covid pandemic. A lot of computer-based work could be performed from home, which enabled a lot of businesses to continue to function. In the […]

Writing Prompts: AI Meerkat Art

A few times now, I have placed prompts and ideas into AI art generators. The results come from an app called Imagine, and via Bing. Personally, I think Bing is slightly better, but both apps/sites have served up some colourful and creative interpretations of the suggested prompts. Yes, I am going to show you what […]

Writing Prompts: Splenetic

Today’s prompt is the Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day for the 4th of October (yes, I am out of sequence, but I suspect you knew that already). That word is ‘splenetic’. Splenetic is defined as a formal word that typically describes expressions of sharp annoyance and anger. I dare say we’ve all experienced bursts of […]

Writing Prompts: Tiredness

Do you ever sometimes feel perpetually tired? I know fatigue sometimes overtakes me, that’s for sure. There have been occasions where my head hits the pillow, and I am out. On other occasions, I have laid awake until who-knows-when, unable to sleep at all, to the point where I have gotten out of bed and […]

Writing Prompts: Number One Priority

What’s your #1 priority tomorrow? Well, tomorrow just so happens to be that most sacred of occasions: a day off work! My primary priority will be therefore be to unwind and relax. Whether or not that happens entirely in the manner I want, won’t be certain until tomorrow. Days off are quite important to me. […]
