Scot-free Safe in Georgia is based on the real-life kidnapping of Scott who stopped to assist, what appeared to be, a lone stranded motorist along I-95 just outside Titusville, Florida. While it appears I may have taken liberties with the facts of this crime, as well as the situations and conversations that followed the initial kidnapping, I can assure you that they are true to Scott's vivid memories of this traumatic event. Scott, his wife Deb, their families, and all their friends, truly hope you enjoy reading this story. A story of how one man's faith, and his love of his wife, provided him with the courage and the mental skills needed in order to survive when most of us would not have.
Way More Than TEXAS TRUMPERY: Politically Cartooned
In the ever-evolving landscape of American politics, change is a constant. "Way More Than TEXAS TRUMPERY: Politically Cartooned" takes a close look at the transformation of the traditional American Republican Party, a shift brought about by the rise of Donald Trump. M. Scott Byers, an Austin-based political cartoonist, offers a unique perspective on this political metamorphosis, with a decade's worth of thought-provoking political cartoons that dissect the phenomenon known as "Texas Trumpery."
For 150 years, the American Republican Party stood as a symbol of conservatism, patriotism, and moral politics. However, as the book's title suggests, the landscape has shifted dramatically. The Republican Party, as it was known, is no more. In its place, Donald Trump has orchestrated a hostile takeover, reshaping the party's core values and principles. Byers leaves no room for ambiguity: he views Donald Trump as a nihilistic rogue, an autocratic demagogue whose actions pose a real danger to America's democracy.
The heart of this collection consists of 240 cartoons spanning 136 pages, each offering a unique and incisive perspective on the state of Texas politics. Byers captures the transformation of Texas, a state that has been one of the most reliably Republican for three decades. While many statewide elected officeholders still bear the Republican label, Byers' cartoons reveal a sometimes laughable, yet hardly humorous reality.
The cartoons, accompanied by text and cutline, delve into the most pressing issues of the past ten years. Through humor and satire, Byers hopes to convey a crucial message to Texas and national Republicans: a stark warning about the slippery slope into what he calls "The Trumpery." The cartoons serve as a satirical mirror, reflecting the potential consequences of zoning out under Donald Trump's influence.

My name is Ali, I'm a #phdstudent at the University of the Sunshine Coast with #ADHD and #PMDD
My project "The Cost of Human Milk" explores the #value(s) of #humanmilk through the lived experience of those who donate, share or receive human milk. (I've just started recruiting. If you're interested in learning more, I'll be posting more about it soon!)
I balance this with casualised work in the university sector as a #sessionalacademic and #researchassistant (both jobs I love, and blessed to be working with total legends) and raising two young kids.
I'm not hugely active on social media but I do love to talk all things #productivity#notetaking#academia#apps and would love to connect with others who share the same interests.
