Hope this is just a little cold and not something worse. Drinking hot toddys and eating the pumpkin conchas that are more like scones. Cats are napping with me on the couch. #resting

If I could get 6 months and an actual line to real work I would be ever so grateful . But also if surviving means I destroy this all and go ghost .

So be it because I have support but my support doesn’t have resources

Will they step down if they lose? I'm less optimistic.

Will SCOTUS go "heads we win tails you lose"? Maybe! Wouldn't be the first time!

But 2000 wouldn't have worked if the race was less close.

I'm for using every tool in the shed. Voting is one tool. It works best when you hit it really hard.

Why Washington Post fired me Read the official termination letter for yourself.

New from me:

There's a lot of misinformation around the reasons I was fired from WaPo.

Here's the official termination letter I got sent by Washington Post.

Read and judge for yourself.

But generally I agree with you @karidru.bsky.social and would just leave it. If empathy can be toxic has been annoying me though and I'd like to know my specific critiques

I only have 1 thing I want to do that with and only because my degrees in English have me feel that I need to read a book to critique it effectively. But I don't want to give the writer money. Will probably borrow from a library now though because it's finally available and pirating too much work.

SCAM ALERT: If by chance you get contacted by a group advertising themselves as the β€œCrazy Old Bats Book Club” who would like to charge you for reading your book in their book club, and who claim I am one of the Satisfied Authors, and furthermore give you an email address for meβ€”it’s not me.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

My readings didn't end up on the channel, but I've since recorded video of BOTH my nominated poems.

I'd be honored if you'd watch and consider them!

They want massive concentration camps. When you find out which businesses are profiting from these anti-human enterprises, cut them off.
