Are there any tips for beating like six years of writer’s block that isn’t going away?? It’s misery. 🥺

Trump is signing so many executive orders, why not just make companies bring egg cost down to 2019 prices? Presidents can limit price gouging (that is what these companies are doing, even with the cull from bird flu)

He doesn’t do that because he doesn’t want to help real people. It’s that simple.

Not a specific piece of media, but I get bummed when people say they don’t read ANY non-fiction. Dismissing such a massive swath of great writing and stories seems wasteful. It’s not for everyone but there are so many kinds of non-fiction that people can find at least one or two books they like.
