The most successful writer I know believes her career is over. Thankfully, I don't have a career. I do have $49K in debt I spent on bachelors in creative writing.
I wouldn't take it back for the world, though. If I could do it all again, I would, but without the alcoholism.

Because it's disenfranchisement. There are places int he world that use election ink to prevent voter fraud (no id required). ID laws are specifically designed to disenfranchise people on the margins of society.

My cousins in Texas are so afraid that Mamdani is going to turn the US into Handmaid's Tale. That he's going to go above the law and start rounding people up and putting them in camps. I wish I was joking.

You can tell Americans have been misdirected when they hate democratic socialists but love Tony Blair, Albert Einstein, and George Orwell and also supposedly hate Muslims but love Dave Chapelle, Mike Tyson, and Dr. Oz

Sometimes I think I should've been a chicken farmer instead of a librarian, but honestly I probably would've been better off as McDonald's Shanghai style nuggets but replace the McNuggets with dinos. Turn on Romancing the Stone

Quality research is a skill!
It is HARD!
You will not immediately be a master.
Do not give up!
ASK FOR HELP!
This slide summarizes my entire lesson this afternoon...
And last week...
And in the future...

When I was a kid my parents were reluctant to go on food stamps and have me on free lunch. They felt it was malingering. The kids made fun of me. Heck, Mom said I was too thin.
The year we went on, I gained 10-20 lbs.
