May 31, 2021: Dark Matter, Batman, and A Bridge Too Far!
It takes a writer weeks, sometimes months to craft a pitch. It takes a decision-maker less than a few minutes to respond, even if it's a simple "No, thank you." But, all too often, even that seems like a bridge too far for them.

I honestly thought this was a parody account. It’s isn’t (!)
A teeny-tiny inclusive language thing I've tried to get better at this past year is avoiding northern hemisphere-specific seasonal language. Like instead of "this summer," I say the months I mean, or Q3.
Because it might be that season for ME but not that season for everybody!

May 28, 2021: Reading Glasses, Yes/No, and News of Note!
Alrighty, I’ve put it off long enough. Made an appointment to visit my optometrist on Monday. I’m at the point where I can’t work on my computer for more than an hour before the headache and nausea sets in. Also, the full bright screen setting could, quite frankly, be brighter. Akemi, of course, disagrees. I suspect that my focusing issues could account for my low reading output this year. Hopefully a new pair of reading glasses will rectify that.
Today’s Yes/No…

May 27, 2021: Stargate Tweetstorm? Yes/No
I’m thinking…maybe. Eventually. Let’s let the dust settle on this deal. That said, I think it’s important that fandom get out in front of this and let the decision-makers know Stargate fans are still out there in force and ready to support a new in-canon series. In the meantime, send them – @Amazon @AmazonStudios @JeffBezos – some reminders.
Meanwhile, hot on the heels of yet another Ted Bundy film comes this announcement of a Ted Bundy streaming service…
It sounds terrible. Except for the part about the adorable flesh-eating robot.

May 25, 2021: On new Stargate and such!
So, a lot of Stargate fans have been commenting on this –
Breaking: Amazon is nearing a deal to buy Hollywood studio MGM for almost $9 billion, people familiar with the matter said, with an agreement potentially coming as soon as this week https://t.co/ltlczmi0fJ
— The Wall Street Journal (@WSJ) May 24, 2021
And they’ve been asking me if this is good news for Stargate. Well, my answer to that is…maybe. There’s no doubt that if this sale is finalized, we will see a new Stargate series sooner than later. The big question is “What will this new series look like?”. It’s no secret that longtime Stargate (SG-1, Atlantis, Universe) co-creator Brad Wright has been developing a new show. In a best case scenario, an executive familiar with the franchise, and its amazing fandom, will recognize the huge potential there and fast-track his series. In the worst case scenario, someone else is brought in, 20 years of canon gets wiped out, and the fans get screwed. The latter is, in my view, most unlikely. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to let Amazon know that the Stargate fandom is still strong, active, noisy, and happy to support Brad’s new in-canon series.

No one had bothered to call or even email to inform her of the change.

This is so YES I genuinely feel like I’m missing out.
I feel as though I'm in the second wave of an Elliott Wave sequence, possibly testing the base line of my narrowing Bollinger Bands. Hope support holds, I remain above my 200 Moving Average, and I soon see signs of a reversal, preferably in the form of a bullish engulfing candle.
