Mima and life on planet Inferno My novel "Mima and life on planet Inferno" is online in paperback and kindle version with new covers, made by professional artist Mladen Oljaca (listed as illustrator on page). I wrote hopefully better "blurb" (description) this time, and trying to find ways to promote. It's sf novel about two different worlds and tough choice for protagonist Mima, a high-school teacher living her not-so-best-life, of where to chose to live: safe, comfortable but a bit boring and too sheltered world on her home planet, or crazy, interesting world full of action but also dangerous, dirty, uncomfortable and violent world on another planet. What will she choose? Check it out on Amazon, paperback and Kindle version available! https://www.amazon.com/Mima-Planet-Inferno-Biljana-Malesevic-ebook/dp/B09PLQHQKB/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

 

 It seems a lot of people online (probably IRL too) are dividing into two groups: leftist and conservatives. It's all usually so that one side presents the other as extreme. I doubt that is really the case. Sure, there are always extremist out there, on both sides, but I surely hope they are not in majority. What I personally think is that the middle, as always is the best way to go. Not too far left, not too far right. I watched a lot of very liberal videos on youtube, and a lot of conservative right wing videos too, mainly from people who are objectively intelligent and have reasonable arguments. But... but still it's a bit too much on both sides. I feel the biggest issue with both sides is that that hate and mock each other. There is no tolerance on other people's preferences and no understanding on human diversity and differences. You can't make a mold for all people to fit in. That's just horribly controlling and even fascist. Problem with extreme conservatives...

We have National Park in Serbia, Fruska Gora. It was beautiful once, it had it's own fauna, lots of animals, trees, grass, so many plants, so much green! Sure, it had few restaurants, cabins, even hotels, but mainly in spirit with the surroundings, it blended it well. There was still lots of trees, lots of animals and nature. Yes, around May 1st, there were a lot of people camping there leaving loads of trash and sometimes, even small fires. Because, that's what humans do. Destroy. Still, it looked all pretty good, compared to now. Then came a company, rich company from another regional country, because of course they don't give a shit for out country and our nature. Why would they when our own town major and his companions would literally do ANYTHING for money. If they had chance, for not that a lot money, I bet they would cause ecological disaster which would likely kill half citizens of town and they wouldn't even bat an eye or take any accountability. Because they d...

 Now are the times when it's "inconvenient" to mention the word "suicide" because "it might give people ideas", but honestly, some people just never get to think about ending it all, while others do not need any reminders. I don't really get that forbidden word. Once I joined online group for people with depression and it was forbidden to write anything triggering, and not just the S word, I mean anything. It was bloody stupid. People were lashing out, writing about their own personal traumas, being left, being widowed, being alone, feeling ugly and it was overwhelming, but no one was allowed to mention suicide, or medications or anything that could "trigger" someone. I left the stupid group. I mean, reading other people's sad stories is much more triggering, especially when you realize how no one, even you, fucking no one, cares. Because, we have out own burden of sadness to carry, why the hell we would want someone else's too? I...

  Sadly died last year at age 3, sweet, very loyal (loved my daughter to death), a bit lazy but playful, really nice personality never ever aggressive never hurt a living soul, kind, cuddly and very sweet. Very quiet most of time. Loved to live, eat and sleep on her back, loved to sit on the top of the fridge or in the (empty) bathtub, and kept eye on my daughter while she slept. Had cutest meows. RIP sweetie. Mischief, found as 1,5 year old starving very small, quite sick stray cat in my street who only wanted to eat what she wanted even it she starves (meat, but not any brand of cat food!). Stubborn, loud, smart, knows what she wants and sticks to it. Refused to mate with males for some reason, was never pregnant. Very playful. Still eats only what she wants, fussy eater, claws furniture no matter how many scratchers are around, doesn't care about catnip, fast and loud, can steal your heart in second. Learns fast. Lives mostly in bed and under the bed (she likes it that way). Loo...

 

 Recently, depression is a reoccurring theme in a lot of movies and especially series on tv. It's a good thing that people are aware that depression exists, and that it is very dangerous disease that can envelope person's entire life. Problem is how depression is sometimes depicted. Now, I am not a poster child of depression neither I have to be some "token" example of how depression looks and feels, but sometimes, I feel like writers are just too lazy. In "Million little things" Rome suffers from depression, but it's depicted like he is going around all moody and frowny and literally says things like "I feel so crappy". He even considers suicide by holding bottle of pills and later tossing them away. This seems like a lazy presentation of depression. While this is not Romany Malco's fault, I am sure he did the best he could, it could be lazy writing. If depression was that obvious, with people going around looking sad or angry and saying ...
