Let's all do a MEME of the day - here's how
What is a meme: A meme is basically an inside joke the whole internet is in on — an image, video, or phrase that gets copied, tweaked, and passed around because people instantly get it. The word itself comes from Richard Dawkins in 1976. He coined meme to mean a little unit of culture that spreads from person to person, like a gene. 1. It has a template. The image does half the talking. Think Distracted Boyfriend, Grumpy Cat, or just a photo of a steaming cup of coffee. 2. It has short text. Usually 1 to 2 lines. The humor or inspiration comes from the contrast between the image and the words. 3. It is instantly shareable. Good memes are relatable, not complicated. If someone can read it in 3 seconds and smile, it will travel. Here is a prompt that will help you create your meme: Meme of the Day Prompt Template Prompt: Create a fun, clear, eye-catching “Meme of the Day” image for: Day of the Week: [INSERT DAY] Meme Text: [INSERT MEME TEXT HERE] or have an ai tool suggest one Create an image that matches the mood of the meme. The image should be humorous, expressive, and easy to understand at a glance. Include the meme text directly on the image in large, bold, readable lettering. At the top of the image, include: “[INSERT DAY] Meme of the Day” Use bright colors, good contrast, and a clean layout. Make the image suitable for posting on social media, a group page, or a community feed. Style: funny, friendly, modern, shareable, visually engaging. Avoid: tiny text, cluttered background, hard-to-read fonts, offensive humor, or too many visual details. Example Use Day of the Week: Monday Meme Text: “My coffee needs coffee.” This would become an image titled: “Monday Meme of the Day” with a funny image of a tired coffee mug, sleepy eyes, and a dramatic morning mood.

Readers Wanted! For my Sci – Fi book
I have an original sci-fi book of 131 pages (6x9 format). It is book 1 of a six book series. Title: The Machine Front Subtitle: The First Machine War – Without Human Soldiers Drones vs. Robots Trust me, it’s a “page turner”. DM me that you want to read it. I will see that you get a copy for free. I would appreciate a review… but, of course that is up to you and not required for receiving the book. It’s set in the 22nd century where humans are prohibited from the battlefield. Drone armies controlled by Mara go to war with robot armies controlled by Rourke. They are fighting over a huge energy field named Daedalus under the crust of the moon. As the war progresses, something changes as the autonomous war machines begin to think for themselves. Perhaps a new civilization is dawning.

@Paulette Ng Your attempt at self deprecation is not working. I know you better. Low IQ's can read it but only high IQ"s will understand the nuances and implications for the future.
What Mindset Would You Teach Children — and From What Age? 🧠🌱
We often hear that the early years of childhood play an important role in shaping a child’s confidence, beliefs and attitude towards life. If you could intentionally teach children one positive mindset from an early age, what would it be — and at what age would you begin? For example: - A growth mindset: mistakes help us learn - Self-belief and confidence - Kindness and empathy - Resilience when things go wrong - Gratitude and appreciation - Curiosity and independent thinking - Healthy attitudes towards money - The courage to be different - Understanding and expressing emotions Do you think these ideas should be introduced through everyday conversations, stories, games and real-life experiences rather than taught as formal lessons? I’d especially love to hear from parents, grandparents, teachers and children’s authors. Which mindset do you believe would make the greatest difference to a child’s future — and how early is too early? 📚✨

These are all good. Mostly they are what parents used to teach their children at home. Now, too much is left to the schools and the values don't match up and are mostly ignored to teach inclusivity, equity, and an agenda. I can't pick just one as they are all important. I can pick these 3: - Self-belief and confidence - Gratitude and appreciation - Curiosity and independent thinking

@Paulette Ng When I fathered my two boys (along with my wife) we tried to teach by example. When necessary we had discussions about whatever might be a problem. We selected books and movies that fit our style and avoided anything that didn't. That does not mean that we didn't allow for alternative opinions. We had dinner as a family EVERY night and the discussions were fabulous. When I taught school for a couple years I tried to engage the students in the topics I mentioned. I did that through creative writing lessons and an afternoon quiet time after lunch where we could discuss anything with the lights out. You have to make an effort.
Harleigh - do you have
an active readers group that can be accessed for reviews of a book? Can you recommend some outside groups that do have readers for books - that do not violate any of Amazon rules?
Wow! Check this out from KDP
I've published a couple coloring books on KDP in the past. But I just got this message from them on my Stained Glass Art book which has been published as a paperback. Is this new? Examples of books not suited to the Kindle format include the following: • Puzzle books • Blank Journals • Pattern books • Coloring books • Facing page translations (left page in one language, right page is same content in another language) As a result, we will not be making the book(s) available for sale on Amazon.
