Who Knows, Anymore?

Well, allegedly, the Vice President of Malawi, Dr. Saulos Chilima, and his wife and 8 others were killed in a plane crash.

I say “allegedly” because he recently voted against the W.H.O. treaty, and I believe that is a psy-op, so the “plane crash” could be optics to wake people up to the WHO, but obviously I don’t know for certain, gang.

Here’s Charlie’s update for today:

And in other news —

Nick Cave sent out a Red Hand File yesterday that was delightfully revealing!

“…the winter after Arthur died, I was walking along an empty beach in Brighton and had the sudden impulse to jump into the sea. I was shocked to find that, upon entering the freezing water, I experienced a sudden, violent, radical rearrangement of my relationship with almost everything. I discovered that it was simply impossible to grieve in icy water. This revelation began my love affair with cold-water swimming.”

And in personal news–

I have decided to step away from the TV pilot/series that I was developing with Peitor, my partner in Abstract Absurdity Productions.

While the project is going very well, and it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if it gets picked up by a streamer, I just don’t want to write for TV. There are very few TV shows being made these days that I even like — “Sister Boniface Mysteries” is a prominent exception — and, if it does get picked up, I don’t want to give up all the time it would take to write a TV show that’s set for 3 seasons, possibly 4. I’ll be closing in on 70 years old by then.

10-15 years ago, a lot of the streaming TV shows appealed to me, but times have seriously changed. And I have too many projects of my own that I want to complete before my time on Earth is over (I’ll be 64 in a handful of weeks, and I have no less than 3 novels, 3 memoirs, 3 novellas, a new short story collection, and a short film adaptation of my Helen LaFrance play– all in various stages of “not finished yet”).

But Peitor and I are in a good place about my decision, and he is moving forward with the show on his own. And now I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders, gang.

*************

And I believe that is it for today.

Have a terrific Tuesday, wherever you are in the world.

I leave you with this timely gem from yesteryear!! I love this song, gang, and have loved it since I was a wee bonny lass! “”Everyday People” by Sly & the Family Stone, 1969. Enjoy, gang!!

“Everyday People”

Sometimes I’m right and I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I’m in
I am everyday people, yeah, yeah

There is a blue one
Who can’t accept the green one
For living with a fat one
Trying to be a skinny one
Different strokes
For different folks

And so on and so on
And scooby dooby dooby
Oh sha sha
We got to live together

I am no better and neither are you
We are the same, whatever we do
You love me, you hate me, you know me and then
You can’t figure out the bag I’m in
I am everyday people, yeah yeah

There is a long hair
That doesn’t like the short hair
For being such a rich one
That will not help the poor one
Different strokes
For different folks

And so on and so on
And scooby dooby dooby
Oh sha sha
We got to live together

There is a yellow one
That won’t accept the black one
That won’t accept the red one
That won’t accept the white one
Different strokes
For different folks

And so on and so on
And scooby dooby dooby
Oh sha sha
I am everyday people

From Mark Steele’s channel UK — includes TV news footage:

“🇲🇽 Jorge Alcocer, Mexico’s health minister, rejects the W.H.O.’s monstrous lie about a man’s death caused by bird flu

“I can say that the World Health Organization’s statement is quite bad, because it talks about a fatal case (of bird flu), which was NOT the case.”

Alcocer asked people to remain calm and take the WHO statement with caution, because it “IS NOT ACCURATE”

W.H.O. Caught Lying About Bird Flu
They claimed that the man’s death was caused by a strain of bird flu that had never before been found in a human. The man had ‘died from other causes, mainly kidney and respiratory failure.'”

Fourth Charlatan Juror Arrested by JAG on Long Island

U.S. Navy JAG investigators have arrested a fourth juror who dishonestly found President Trump guilty of doctoring business records to obfuscate payments allegedly made to a skanky porn star so his unproven tryst with her wouldn’t damage his 2016 presidential run.

As reported last week, U.S Marines and Special forces snatched up three of twelve charlatan jurors as part of a broader mission to crush both the Manhattan District Attorney’s office and jurors it bribed or otherwise influenced to incriminate an innocent man. […]”

Wow, gang. My new ceilings look fantastic! And my new ceiling fan is really pretty. It’s in the “farm house” style, which of course suits this house.

The workmen were here for 10 1/2 hours yesterday, but they didn’t leave until it was all completed and cleaned up.

I am really happy with the results.

I still cannot post to the blog about the career decision, but I probably will tomorrow.

Meanwhile, here are these!!

Wow! I Wasn’t Expecting This!!

As you can see above, the new ceiling in my kitchen is going to be really spectacular!! I had no idea it was going to be so elaborate…

Anyway!

Seriously. I did not know they were giving me an entirely new ceiling in my kitchen and bathroom. I thought they were only repairing the parts that were damaged by water leaks. So I am just thrilled.

The guys are downstairs right now, putting in the new ceilings, and it should take all day.

And the lawncare guy is outside right now, keeping my yard looking incredible again.

And the new roof is finished and they did a fantastic job. It looks really great.

Last night, I checked the weather app before I went up to bed and it said a 20% chance of rain at 2 AM — my knee-jerk reaction was to go fetch the buckets. But THEN!!! I realized that I didn’t have to do that anymore. What a cool feeling, gang.

I feel like I’ve gotten my house back — the one I bought in 2018.

Okay.

Another Quick Saturday Post

The past couple days have been full of such extremes.

I went to the bank yesterday, which is at the other end of 3rd Street and saw all the disaster from the tornado that hit at that end of the street.

It is just so heartbreaking, gang. It is so hard to process it, how one house can be completely fine and another house, completely gone. And almost all the old trees that lined 3rd Street are also completely gone.

And there are so many houses that had their roofs blown completely off, and yet here I was, getting a brand-new roof yesterday, for free, that had nothing to do with the tornado.

The timing of it feels so weird, even though I’ve needed a new roof for 3 years already.

And then, last evening, the guy called who is replacing the ceilings in my kitchen and bathroom, and he said that he’s coming TODAY to do that, not Monday. So that is more amazing news.

But then, at 6 AM this morning, I went outside to water the plants because I couldn’t get to them yesterday with the roofers everywhere. One of my brand-new little rose bushes had its first bloom getting ready to blossom, so I wanted to check on that — and that rose bush is completely GONE. There is just a hole in the ground where it used to be yesterday.

It broke my heart and I wanted to cry — but then I thought about all the destruction 2 streets away and I had to remind myself that it was just a little rose bush…

Then when I texted the roofer asking if he knew what had happened to it, he said they are replacing it for me because it got crushed.

Well, I guess everything is all about perspective today, isn’t it?

******************

There is not really any “news” today, except that things are getting ominous out there so just keep alert and stay safe.

The latest optics are that Steve Bannon is allegedly going to serve jail time starting in July.

He was visiting me from DC, when he was the Artistic Director of the Woolly Mammoth Theater Company. And he brought me a Polaroid camera as a gift!!

Here he is in my lead, clawfoot bathtub in the hellhole tenement I lived in on E.12th Street for 10 years…. (and yes, I had REALLY long hair back then and had to wash it in a bathtub!)

James Tabor posted this video to his private Patreon group yesterday. Very timely.

A “Holy Cow!!” Update

Wow, gang.

Yesterday was so intense. When I finally got to see the damage done by the tornado touching down over on 3rd Street, my heart broke. The damage is unbelievable. I was basically in shock all morning.

Then right as I was leaving for the train station, I got a phone call — from the roofer!! Saying that TODAY, I was getting my new roof!

And sure enough. they are here right now. There are quite a lot of them and they are all over the place. And I almost cannot believe that after 3 years of putting out more and more buckets every time it rained, I am finally getting that new roof, at absolutely no cost to me. The county pays for it all. (NESARA, anyone? The local government is allegedly strapped for funds… hmmmm).

And then early next week, they are replacing the ceilings in my kitchen and downstairs bathroom, and installing a new ceiling fan!!

All things considered, I guess this is going to be the best summer.

Yesterday was supposed to be the start of the annual homecoming celebration here in the village. That’s when they close off the block in front of our tiny City Hall and set up carnival rides and games. And there’s one evening of live music, and that whole celebration goes on for a few evenings. But after the tornado hit yesterday, they decided to cancel it, even though all the rides were already set up.

Well, last night, when I came home from the train station, about 10 PM, lo & behold, all the rides where whirling around, all the carnival lights were on, the music was playing — and the rides were full of kids!!

It broke my heart in the best way to come home to that. I was so glad they decided to start the celebrations anyway. I think those kids (and maybe their parents, too) really needed that.

CHARLIE WARD DAILY NEWS WITH PAUL BROOKER & DREW DEMI – FRIDAY 7TH JUNE 2024 (17 mins):

*************

And that’s it for today.

In personal news, I have decided to publish just one print book and one eBook for “A Man In Her Arms & Other Stories”. (See my post here if you missed this.)

It will include the first publication of the short novella, “A Man In Her Arms” and 9 other previously published stories, but, except for “Legacy of Boy,” the other stories have either not been published in print before, or in any “best of” collections:

  • A Man In Her Arms
  • Legacy of Boy
  • To My Beloved I Am A Stranger
  • Code
  • Score
  • Alter Soldier
  • A Path to The Woods (a ghost story)
  • Wanted
  • Common Place
  • Half-Moon Bride

The novella, “A Man in Her Arms,” is heavily based on the life of my biological paternal grandmother:

Cora Smith May in Kentucky in the early 1930s

I’m really excited about the collection. I’m waiting on Val in Brooklyn to design the cover art for me. I’ll keep you posted!!

And that is it for now.

Enjoy your Friday, wherever you are in the world!!

Not a lot today, as far as the “news”–

CHARLIE WARD DAILY NEWS WITH PAUL BROOKER & DREW DEMI – WEDNESDAY 5TH JUNE 2024 (17 mins):

Some great news from Real Raw News:

White Hats Arrest Three of the Twelve Deep State Jurors Who Unlawfully Found President Trump Guilty

White Hats over the weekend located and arrested three of the twelve Deep State jurors who unlawfully found President Donald J. Trump guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records, a source in General Eric M. Smith’s office told Real Raw News.

The trio—two men and a woman—were known Democrat operatives whose now-deleted social media pages were at one time filled with vitriolic anti-Trump posts and had contributed financially to Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign. The female, our source said, had ties to ANTIFA, having attended their rallies in several states between 2016-2018. She was also apparently a wizard; the day after Trump’s conviction, two million dollars magically materialized in her Bank of America savings account, transferred there from, White Hats say, an offshore slush fund where the Deep State hoards cash from illicit narcotic sales.

****************

In other news–

I will be self-publishing a short erotic novella (or novelette?) soon. I’m just waiting for Val in Brooklyn to design the book cover.

The novella, A Man in her Arms, has never been published before — if I am remembering correctly. It was supposed to be published for the first time in my collection from Alyson Books, Lust: Bisexual Erotica by Marilyn Jaye Lewis, in 2004. But it was pulled at the last minute because it was too long and didn’t fit the tone of the other stories included in that collection.

(If I remember anything at all about it, I think I actually wrote it in 2002, only because I recall that Linda, my business partner back then in the Erotic Book Society.com, read it and gave me good feedback on it.)

I came across the story while looking for something to post on my substack account. I had remembered it being a regular erotic short story — actually, I didn’t remember much about it at all. But when I re-read it, I discovered that it was 50 pages long. I like the story a lot so I decided to go ahead and publish it.

It will probably just be an eBook, since it is too short to put in print. But I’m thinking I will put together a print collection of short novellas under one cover — for readers who prefer books over eBooks.

I’ll let you know when it’s available.
