Thought on Operation: Patriotism

You know, I was younger when I started Operation: Patriotism, and I just saw someone add it to a library, which prompted from me this thought; perhaps it would have been better if it was an M-rated story with more gore. Because at the time I started, I wouldn't have been up into real M-rated splatterfest, but now it seems it seems like it would have been the thing to do...

If you've been tracking my activity, you'll know that I've been uploading new Patriotism chapters per day. I decided to make a blog post about this one because it marks the beginning of the fourth and final quarter of the story - the train is now on its way to its final destination.

Carrie Fisher

I have some very sad news to share with anyone who happens to be reading this today. I've just learned that Carrie Fisher, probably most famous for her role as Princess Leia, and who just recently published a memoir earlier this year, has passed away after suffering a heart attack.

Not Happy With The Election Results? I Have A Proposal · 2:43pm Nov 10th, 2016

Not Happy With The Election Results? I have a radical proposal for you.

Go see Disney's Moana.

I'm dead serious.

If you go out there, pay to see Moana, you'll send a message to the industry that you, the people, the moviegoing public, care about women narratives, about narratives of people of color. You can convince them that you care, and that you want to see more, and that it will sell. And if you can do that, then they'll make more movies featuring people and women of color. And if that happens, we can start to see more diversity on our screens - and being able to see this people on our screens will allow us to form more empathy with them, which allow for, well, less badness in the world. So it'll have a knock-on, ripple effect. It sounds crazy, but it's true;

Go out there. Convince the industry the moviegoing public cares about women, people of color, and especially women of color.

Even if the electorate doesn't.
