Not Sure I Want to Live on This Planet Any More

What the hell is wrong with people?? If you lose your job the proper reaction is to find another one.

It is not to grab a gun and shoot a couple of former colleagues - and a member of the public...

What with the archaeologically important - irreplaceable - temple at Palmyra being destroyed by a bunch of evil thugs, who also manage to twist the words of their holy book to justify the rape of children.

And then the right-wing press (and vast numbers of our politicians) foaming at the mouth about the desperate refugees, who are fleeing war, civil war, and oppression - these are human beings for crying out loud!! They could be any one of us. Refugees whose desperation is exploited by scum making a fat profit from their misery. Frequently abandoning them to their fate - or worse.

I'm really not sure this planet is worth saving.

Some days the world is a magic place, full of wonder. Some days it's not.

Stay safe people. Good night and may your God/s go with you

Who the heck do we email when something at the Academy of Bards needs fixing? Their link for this entry:

Enter the Dark by Wilbur [Classic/Alt/Incomplete]
This new adventure will test the strength of the budding relationship between Gabrielle and Deerdra. Will it bring them closer or drive them apart?
In chapter one, Xena, Gabrielle, and Deerdra encounter an old nemesis--Dahak! Will the three be able to defeat this evil entity unscathed?

points to Wilbur's other fic The End Is the Beginning.
