It's rare I post my personal views on social media. Mostly because I have businesses to run & I worry how it will affect things. I'm also very much a believer in acting, not reacting. And yet, I second guess myself often--even my art which is one of the things I can act with.

Jan 26, 2026 21:18(2/4): That too often leads to lots of work that never sees the light of day.
I don't know that I have the words for the disgusting cr*p that's happening in the US right now or for a long time, nor for those who support it. But I do have my art, and I can say stuff with that...
(3/4): ...And this has been brewing for months and years (a long, long way back).
I've always followed Tolkein's model of "applicability" over "metaphor" & Chadhiyana was created in part due to the RAGE I feel when people are mistreated. It spawned all that fire iconography & her powers to use it.
(4/5): It's hard with all the things on my plate to get work done "fast", despite my prolific output, but then I stall (like I did during the BLM protests) & feel like I never said what I had to. I don't know that it's done me any favours keeping it all in, that's for sure.
...
(5/5): I don't want to ramble. I have no time to argue with sympathizers. And if this shocks you, you obviously don't really know me.
