Grimmacing Gravestones mark my life, but so too mark my death, for though I wear this smiles still, these lips they pass no breath

[Steven Rutledge @Stevenrutledge]

I recently published a four-book childrens picture book series on Amazon called Alexander Lightbulb.

Alexander is a curious boy with glowing hair who reads, asks questions, and sometimes finds himself on quiet, magical adventures rooted in real science and wonder. These are gentle stories about curiosity, kindness, patience, and noticing the world closely.

The series includes:

Alexander Lightbulb and the Planets - A journey through the solar system with a thoughtful, slightly grumpy talking cat.

Alexander Lightbulb: Rainy Day - Clouds, weather, and a rainy afternoon that turns into an unexpected adventure above the clouds.

Alexander Lightbulb and the Flight - Learning how flying works by becoming a bird and helping a lost seagull find his way home.

Alexander Lightbulb and the Seed - A quiet story about time, growth, change, and how even the smallest things can hold entire lifetimes.

These books are intended for young early readers just getting to chapter books.

If you know a child who loves books, science, nature, or thoughtful stories, I would love for you to check them out on Amazon. Reviews and shares make a huge difference for independent authors.

@Nanshakh What is the ideal conviction rate?

@RealDanODowd @SpaceX Strange to suggest starlinks can only be launched by Starship when thousands have been launched by falcon

@rrriot_kitty @esjesjesj The fact that it has different uses does not fully explain the way it being used here.

I think some of the hesitancy to fully explain is because there is a fear that the explanation might be wrong.

[Steven Rutledge @Stevenrutledge]

@rrriot_kitty @esjesjesj I am, yes.

@rrriot_kitty @esjesjesj A Dead Letter Department (also called the Dead Letter Office) is a section of a postal service that handles mail that cannot be delivered to its intended recipient.

@esjesjesj Only Norwegian citizens can vote in National (parliamentary/Storting) elections.

@mensnacker @esjesjesj As I understand the rules, I cannot “say whatever I want”.

That person is, in a spiritual sense, dead?

Xavier no longer exists.

[Steven Rutledge @Stevenrutledge]

@NateCampbell95 @esjesjesj I am not sure why questions are misinterpreted as statements.

I am not trying to say anything. I am trying to understand.

[Steven Rutledge @Stevenrutledge]

@mensnacker @esjesjesj Why not former name?

Birth name?

Etc?

Why dead?

[Steven Rutledge @Stevenrutledge]

@NateCampbell95 @esjesjesj If you referred to Vivian as Xavier, that would be wrong. If you referred to them as he rather than she, that would be wrong.

Again, I am just trying to understand.

@NyxStyx6 @csubagio @jordan588092950 @esjesjesj 👋

[Steven Rutledge @Stevenrutledge]

@csubagio @jordan588092950 @esjesjesj No.

I am genuinely not trying to be dense.

I have never asked anyone to refrain from one and have always used both.

I have never retroactively indicated that I was one or the other.

Neither is a dead name. Neither is my true self.

I would never be insulted with either use.

[Steven Rutledge @Stevenrutledge]

@jordan588092950 @esjesjesj Yes.

[Steven Rutledge @Stevenrutledge]

@NateCampbell95 @esjesjesj How could I convince you?

[Steven Rutledge @Stevenrutledge]

@NateCampbell95 @esjesjesj It’s a question. Not trying to insult, but learn.

[Steven Rutledge @Stevenrutledge]

@Sosleepy8999 @esjesjesj I am really just trying to understand.

[Steven Rutledge @Stevenrutledge]

@peteyfunnyfeety @esjesjesj Xavier?

[Steven Rutledge @Stevenrutledge]

@esjesjesj Presumably to find a picture of a white mother.
