Romantic Fantasy vs. #Romantasy: The former is a fantasy with a romance plot. The latter is a retold fairytale that borrows heavily from anime and fanfiction. New Adult = add spice.

Using AI to brainwash people should not be protected under free speech. We need expansion of these laws and to overturn Citizens United.

I finished my manuscript. I think it's really actually finished this time. The question is whether #literaryagents are looking for a science fiction romance...age range 18-25...set in an authoritarian America that is maybe less futuristic and farfetched than when I started writing it.

Josh Weil is within the margin of error of flipping a red House Florida seat blue. Get out and vote, Florida. We could take back the House if you vote blue.

Polio is a horrible illness.

Thank you. More heat. Measles cases over 100 in Texas. Death isn't the only fear. Remind them that measles can cause blindness.

I work in marketing and all I can say is A) not surprised B) I could run better email marketing for the DNC C) the solution may lie outside of this Congress. I use "this" very deliberately.

The GOP’s 60-Year Conspiracy to Kill Our Democracy: None Dare Call It Treason—But I Will It all traces back to billionaire-backed fearmongering in the 1960s—weaponizing panic around socialism and communism to crush unions, cut taxes, and hoard profits...

Can't remember but I think I heard somewhere that the book is serious and the film is satire.

I called T-Mobile to complain about the Starlink partnership. The representative said she would run it up to leadership. #bankruptMusk

USAID was investigating Starlink and Musk's ties to Putin and Russia. Just something to know.

We must be brave if we want to be free.

All these chickens need to stop dancing and cluck off.

IF Republicans impeached and convicted Trump and Vance and arrested Musk for treason, could their combined assets be seized, liquidated, distributed to the poorest Americans?

I regret to inform you that Substack has gone MAGA. Soon, all of social media will be corrupted by propaganda. Form communities in the real world.

Donald Trump is your servant. Your representative in Congress is your servant. Public service in a democracy serves the people. The people do not "stand up to attention" for the President. We need to show Donald Trump that he is not fit for this job.

Wokeness is a threat to fascism.

Elon Musk appears to give the Nazi salute in front of the seal of the president at Donald Trump's inauguration.

I know Elon Musk meant to make a Roman or Nazi salute because he didn't deny that's what it was. People saying he did it because of #autistic awkwardness blow my mind with their ignorance. Musk's dismissal is gaslighting. This is the act of an abusive person with an agenda to exploit people.
