This Week's Friday Update
a month ago
Wow. I managed to get so much done this week.
I just finished my first edit, and even before the second edit there is enough material that I could split it into two weeks.
Instead of doing that, I'm going to publish everything I wrote this week. I'm going to keep trying to add new material each week, but this feels better as a fully encapsulated section rather than two.
If I run out of steam before the next update day (Aug 1st, not tomorrow the 25th), I might take the week off. We'll see. I hope that won't happen, but I want to keep my options open. Because I'm greedy.
About this week, though. Even though there will be a big post, this week's subject matter was still very difficult for me to write. Look for an Adult Content warning this week. Read at your own risk. There are some things that, even though they are terrible, must be written. To fail to shine a light on them is to pretend that they don't exist. We can't be afraid to look, or to feel, just because we know it's wrong. When we turn away, evil thrives. When we pretend it doesn't exist in the world because it makes us uncomfortable, we give it a place to grow unchallenged.
Not everything is an adventure. And we need to remember that choice is shaped by experience.

Love the message at the end of this post, and very beautifully worded. Eagerly awaiting the next piece as always.
