Not to add to the discourse, but…

It’s β€˜toe the line,’ not β€˜tow the line.’
It’s β€˜free rein,’ and not β€˜free reign.’
It’s β€˜eke out,’ not β€˜eek out.’
It’s β€˜sleight of hand,’ not β€˜slight of hand.’
It's β€˜Anchors aweigh,’ and not β€˜Anchor's away!’

Publishing hot take: traditional publishing is really hard, and self-publishing is really hard, and everyone deserves a sandwich and a nap.

This is not a prisonβ€¦πŸ‘‡

It’s a fucking CONCENTRATION CAMP!!

Today, the President of the US urged El Salvador to build 5 more concentration camps, and clearly stated his intentions β€” to send United States citizens there.

We’ve become Nazi Germany in 1933, and half the country is cheering.

Sick.

My husband retired from the IRS two years ago. He would have been terminated immediately if he disclosed any info. He wasn't even allowed to tell me what case he was working on, or what company he was visiting.

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

Remember, the president does not have the authority to unilaterally shut down the Education Department. Doing so would require an act of Congress and at least 60 votes in the Senate.
