Write It Out

Writing is an art. Here, we strive to share what inspires, what helps, and drives us to write. Not everything here is original. We claim very little ownership for many posts. Our chief passion here is our love of the written word, its many forms, and the stories they can tell.

On the morning of June 6, 1944, a combined Allied force of 156,115 U.S., British and Canadian troops loaded onto 6,939 ships and landing vessels steamed towards Hitler's Atlantic Wall. Their objective lay ahead on five beaches along a 50-mile stretch of the heavily fortified coast of France’s Normandy region.

The invasion was one of the largest amphibious military assaults in history and required extensive planning. Prior to D-Day, the Allies conducted a large-scale deception campaign designed to mislead the Germans about the intended invasion target.

The Allies began their beach assaults at 6:30 a.m. The British and Canadians overcame light opposition to capture beaches codenamed Gold, Juno and Sword, as did the Americans at Utah Beach. However, the U.S. forces of the 1st and 29th Divisions faced heavy resistance at Omaha Beach and suffered over 2,000 casualties. But by the day's end, approximately 156,000 Allied troops had successfully stormed Normandy’s beaches and began the push into France.

The cost of Operation Overlord would be high but much less than what was originally estimated. The Allied casualties on the first day was approximately 10,000, with 4,414 confirmed dead. The Germans forces defending the beaches lost an estimated 1,000 men.

The person who was casually cruel to me in 2019 should know they are now a minor antagonist in something i'm working on. not the villain. i gave the villain depth and a reason and a whole backstory that makes you understand them. you are the minor antagonist. you appear in two scenes. you say something dismissive and leave. you do not get a backstory. you do not get complexity. you get exactly what you gave me which was very little and delivered poorly.

The "Fever Effect" is when the symptoms of Autism seem to improve whenever an Autistic person develops a fever.

About 16-17% of autistic kids (roughly 1 in 6) show sudden improvements when they get a fever. Parents report their child becomes more social, has better eye contact, talks more clearly, and does fewer repetitive behaviors. One study found that 83% of kids who got a fever improved on at least one autism symptom. But it's temporary — everything goes back to normal within a week when the fever ends.

Scientists at MIT and Harvard are studying why this happens. They think fever triggers a "cell stress response" that temporarily fixes some of the brain's metabolic problems, making neural connections work better. It's not a cure, but it suggests the brain isn "set in stone" — autism symptoms can change. Researchers hope to find therapies that mimic the fever effect without the kid getting sick.

People have been living in the downtown area of Tucson, Arizona for at least 4,500 years. The greater Santa Cruz river valley has been occupied by humans for 12,000 years.

You see this?

That's not a river. That's the South Canal in Mesa, Arizona (Phoenix metro area).

This is a view of the East and South canals. At least half of all the Phoenix metro canals were originally built by the Hohokam (from roughly 200-1400 CE), and are still in use (restored) today.

Phoenix, Arizona actually has more miles (kilometers) of Canals total than both Venice and Amsterdam. No, really. Phoenix has about 180 miles of canals, many of which are built on ancient canal foundations.

below is an aerial view photo taken in the late 1930's of one branch of Phoenix's canal systems:

Also have the "Montezuma Castle," if you need a castle:

I don't need to look at some 12th century European castle to see age.
