It was an honor to be a panelist on #Dementia Stories for Impact: Dementia Life Course and Storytelling, sponsored by the #AlzheimersAssociation and #UCSF. My fellow authors and colleagues talked about the importance of #narrative, #empathy, #brain health, and Dr. Bruce Miller and I talked about our work together on my #memoir, Finding the Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief, and the Brain. I hope you find this discussion helpful.

This class goes deep into perspective, 1st/2nd/3rd person singular & plural POV, filtering through personality, sensibility, reliability, secrets & mystery, omniscience, tense, narrative distance, zooming, curation of artifacts, narrative strategy, & a few stranger options.

And not a single mention of the #fediverse.

Look, you guys. I know there are some #gatekeepers in here - and quite frankly: you're not helping, but you could.

It's about #language and it's about #communication. You will catch more flies with honey, you will catch more fish with lures.

#Optics and #narrative are everything and we can see how ineffective ours really is.

#Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

New song out now from our City of Shadows story line: https://youtu.be/uHKRj2HGwe8

Modern communication isn't about truth. It's about a resonant narrative. The myth of PR is that you will educate and inform people. No! The public wants to be told, in a story, who to like and who to hate.

The “Energy Transition” Delusion

There is no energy transition - only ongoing and symbiotic energy addition.

The very inner working of #fascist narrative building: to bypass #reason, to bypass #judgment, to bypass rules, relying on #narrative elements that have been inserted by himself a few turn before in the game Toddlers just wanna do what he wants Without constraint Like grown-up toddlers VERY BIG BIG

A las cinco de la tarde
cuando el resplandor se queda sin brillo
y el jardín se sumerge en el último hervor dorado del día
oigo el grupo bullicioso de niños
que salen a cazar luciérnagas.

Corriendo sobre el pasto
se dispersan entre los arbustos,
gritan su excitación, palpan su deslumbre
se arma un círculo alrededor de la pequeña
que muestra la encendida cuenca de sus manos
titilando.

Antiguo oficio humano
este de querer apagar la luz.

¿Te acordás de la última vez que creímos poder iluminar la noche?

El tiempo nos ha vaciado de fulgor.
Pero la oscuridad
sigue poblada de luciérnagas.

Gioconda Belli, Luciérnagas.

New City of Shadows song, out now: Shelter of the Echoes. Take a listen if you like fantasy based stories and plots. This song is part of a greater narrative universe.

#Musk now trying to twist the #narrative to such an extreme nonsensical #russian #disinformational angle that it was #Ukraine that started the #war by attacking #russia.
