You can't make this shit up..

“I was standing in front of my parked car on I-684 cutting the penis out of a road killed raccoon, thinking about how weird some of my family members have turned out to be,”

“Women who carry water for the patriarchy just so they can have a slightly longer leash and stand a few rungs up in oppression from other women, particularly marginalized women, make me a special kind of angry. Being master's favorite dog is still having a master and being a dog.“

Fediverse, can you please help me?
In family matters, I'm searching for Edward J. Garth.

Most likely US soldier stationed in Germany at the end of / after WWII.
Picture taken by a Wiesbaden photo studio, unknown date. Signature: "Will You Remember Edward J Garth".

Does anyone know this man? His heritage? His relatives?

Any hint, any boost (esp. to US), any forwarding to helpful people is highly appreciated. DM me anytime!

Thank you folks ❤️

#WritersCoffeeClub Apr 17: Can plots which hinge on a misunderstanding be done well?

All the time, or that Shakespeare fellow would have never had a career.

Age verification laws means every child predator who can create a website or an app will know if they're interacting with a potential victim.

And now, with vibecoding, literally EVERYONE can create a minimal website or app. These legislators are serving up victims on a silver platter.

#WritersCoffeeClub 17 April: Can plots which hinge on a misunderstanding be done well?

Yes. Virtually any kind of plot can be done well by a good writer.
