With the sheepish ones just letting them know you won't do it. That it crosses the bright line can make them back off some of the time.
This can be very scary and if you are thinking "but I could be fired" I understand that. Ask for help. Talk about it outside of work or with people you trust. Don't go looking for an excuse to comply and not feel bad about it. If you do you should feel bad.
Find a way to NOT do it instead.

It’s not, actually, a future that my science fiction-loving heart desires, maybe because it’s the dystopian end of the sci-fi spectrum. These projects are just the tip of the iceberg.

#WritersCoffeeClub Jan 20 - Do any of your stories take place on the sea? In what way?
Yes, A Memory of Murder is set in a small coastal Oregon town (Astoria), and my WIP is the sequel. Parts of the WIP take place on a fishing boat, and things definitely get hairy!

@TonyStark I hear you. I'm very concerned about human rights now, civil rights for women and minorities, LGBTQ+, people who are disabled or elderly. It's so disheartening to learn that 1/3 of the adult population actively wants to hurt the rest of us, and 1/3 doesn't care enough look up from their own lives to make a choice. It's sickening. I can't excuse people for being misinformed now. He showed the world exactly who he was. #USPol

@TonyStark Agree. The only way to push the country left is to vote for the left-leaning candidate, even if that person isn't as left-leaning as you want. Rinse and repeat, and eventually we'll get there. It isn't rocket science. But there are those folks who want to sit on their soapboxes and *be virtuous* by rejecting what, to them, isn't perfect. Newsflash: it's never perfect. And now we'll have to make up a lot of ground, assuming we get the chance.

@elysegrasso Congratulations! It's actually not a bad idea to let the ebook be out there before the print. Readers will tell you about any typos in the ebook (ask me how I know), and you then have time to fix them before the printed version is live.

Hey fediverse, I'm thinking of offering some merchandise associated with my writing (t-shirts, cups, things like that). I want to use one of the print/make on demand platforms that you can upload designs to and they take care of the rest in exchange for a cut of any sales. Who else has done this? What platforms have you used, and what was your experience? #WritingLife #Writers #WritersCommunity

@vantablue Why are there no lightning bolts for people like this who choose to be evil?

#WritersCoffeeClub Jan 15: Would you ever hide your politics to avoid alienating some readers?
I'm not explicitly political in my fiction, but I think my implicit values come through. I strive to show diversity in my cast of characters. I don't use stereotypes. My MC is probably "woke" although she wouldn't describe herself in that way, she just thinks you should treat people with respect and courtesy. She is more forgiving of the police than I am, since she used to be one.

@CultureDesk @bookstodon I don't have reading goals, and I read a lot of books, because I am a fairly fast reader with a wide range of interests. I keep track of the books I read and own on Library Thing. When I finish a book, I write a brief review of my thoughts. I do not write plot summaries. My reviews help me to remember which books I have read (so I don't accidentally buy them again, yes this has happened), which authors I like, and maybe they help or entertain others.

@KaKetelmug @futurebird @dan613 Also, can we address the level of quality between men's and women's clothing? My husband can buy a shirt and have it for years. I spend twice what he pays and it gets holes in like five minutes. I buy men's t-shirts for exercise and layering for this reason, because they last so much longer.

I distinguish meaning from lesson. Meaning is weight/consequence. Lesson is morality. I think one can entertain w/o moralizing.

It's not new, but in this past year I've treasured every search result that takes me to a real website, not a content mill. They're like lentils salvaged from a pile of pebbles. They're like wheat gleaned from a harvested field.

Star Trek 31 Day Challenge
I have been all over the place with where I leave my Star Trek 31 Day Challenge posts. Sometimes as part of a thread for someone else's post. Sometimes as a solitary post. I had a bit of a time finding my own posts. So, I'm doing like I've seen other folks do, and making a thread for my responses.
A consolidation of Days 1 through 6 posts are in a comment below. I'll post my future ST 31 Day Challenge responses in this thread.

Morning Walk Report: Boxnoggin prancing past schoolkids waiting for the bus, tail held high, ears perked (they ooh and aaah at him, he loves it), crows waiting for peanuts, park paths blown free of leaves, flotsam and wrack from the rains collected in odd spots.

“With self-sufficiency you never get there, you never become self-sufficient. I mean we tried back in the seventies. We had goats and chickens and bees and I was trying to raise grain.
“Pretty soon I realized that if I want to raise enough wheat for the bread for a year here, it’s better left to a specialist, like I can’t be my own dentist. So you do, it’s a direction self-sufficiency. You do what you can do as much of it as you can.”
