If I get the chance to start another Tuesday writing project, it will be a new Cissy Moonskipper story. It will be called Cissy Moonskipper Meets the Nebulons. She will be enveloped as a heroine by the strange starfaring blue-skinned people who are immune to radiation and travel in gargantuan space whales, filled with oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere and powered by living hearts of cold fusion. It will be a joy to write, and, hopefully, a pleasure to read.
But I despair increasingly about the future. The Mango-colored Hitler who pretended to be the 45th President seems poised to re-win control of this entire country. And he is spewing all kinds of bull-pucky dreams of authoritarian despotic rule that will make the Holocaust look like a visit to Walt Disney World.
If the giant angry Oompa Loompa does win, we will sooner die on an earthly heatscape since he will definitely install policies that will accelerate global warming. Don’t get me wrong, I believe this world is already doomed. He will just doom it and damn it faster.
On the other hand… or maybe the third hand… the pessimist within me does not discount all the good that life on Earth has managed. We have managed to add to the life of the universe and give it self-aware sentience… at least here, and at least for a short while.
