My campaign to produce Shakespeare's Sonnets: A Graphic Novel Adaptation needs your help! Please sign up at https://www.patreon.com/fisherking for access to exclusive content and the opportunity to be a part of the magic!

I'm also producing a podcast discussing the sonnets, available on
industrial curiosity, itunes, spotify, stitcher, tunein and youtube!
For those who prefer reading to listening, the first 25 sonnets have been compiled into a book that is available now on Amazon and the Google Play store.

a bond for my countrymen

i believe it to be impossible to foster mutual trust between two cultures that have such a tentative relationship with the truth. if one begins with the mostly accurate assumption that the negotiating table is filled with liars, real progress is unlikely.

this has to change. from both sides. and if not for those sitting across from us at the table, then at least for ourselves. we hurt ourselves every day, in a million ways, with every "accepted" and "familiar" white lie we tell.

don't tell me a lie that will make me feel better right now, because i will hate you for it when i discover the truth.

    a man is selling his house, and a young couple come to take a look. they aren't impressed, but they tell him that it's a lovely house and that they'll consider it.

    this is not a good thing, but it's okay.

    what i'm referring to is on the scale of the young couple enthusiastically agreeing to buy the house, with no intention of following through.

    that's not the same thing at all.
