I unlearned it. People who have trouble unlearning it just might not be practicing (that is - writing) enough!

I'm finding more and more households where the woman is the primary breadwinner, either the spouse or the parent of adult children. We can do this - why can't they? They're grown ass adults. They need to act like it.

Also everyone who was a school kid when the Schoolhouse Rock "No Kings" cartoon played .... pretty damn clear to us!

What ICE and the National Guard don't realize is that tear gas is basically vaporized Malört. Won't work in Chicago. They love it

You're not rooting for Tylenol, you're rooting for the mothers of children with autism who are once again being blamed for their condition.

It's not tiny if enough people do it. :)

"Are you yet living?" Benedick is in my head every day ...

Dom Perignon. Sleep. Continue to fight.

There's one bit of news I hope I live to see whereupon I will head directly to the nearest liquor store and purchase a bottle of dom perignon and share with whomever is around me.

"You are the victim... and your yelling is a trauma response to the very real abuse you are experiencing." Oh - wow. This ... this makes a LOT of sense.

This is why I'm an indie author - my stories, my characters, my books on my timeline. I work my tail off to make them as professional as possible, but in the end it's me having fun and packaging the final product for others who might find it fun, too.

We got people to remove it from their weddings because we threatened to stand up, start to object, then shake our heads and sit down again ... no one wanted that! Lol ... my college group had a wicked sense of humor.

Lol - I live less than an hour away, but have never been there. Welcome to Wisconsin!

Conch Republic! Yeay!

I mean - I'd be good with this plan ... !

Wait - you're suggesting people in the White House might actually be ... working?

10pm? Isn't that way past his bedtime? Break out the adderall.

I should add "for me."

Also thinking "on some days I am disabled by my autism." A lot of issues have to do with circumstance.

Gin Rickey works, too!

If this is about the 2024 election ... in WI, a swing state, we did a thorough audit of our voting systems and concluded that ... it was the safest, most thorough election ever. Sadly, that means a significant number of our residents really intended to vote for Trump ... and that's why he won.

On the flip side, does that mean my poor characters never have any fun? I mean, I do awful things to them in general - it's called writing a story.

It is infuriating - it's a straw man argument. But what about ...? And (besides losing points in a debate competition for not sticking to the topic) - that literally helps Trump. I really hope at least some of them are 'bots and GOP trolls. Because it's infuriating.

This. It would happen at some point. We have to fight. Somehow.

Because he doesn't care. Newsom has the next move. Will he stand up or roll over? It's a no-win situation for him.

There's only so much people can take. There is honor in resistance. And ... it gets people's attention. The whole world is watching.

True, although the resistance is exhilarating.
