Reader. Obsessively so. Oh, and I have a bit of an obsession with Dutch things. But please don’t ever make me smell patchouli.

WARNING: Illinois Is About to Elect a MAGA-Aligned Senator But it's not too late -- here's what we need to do to prevent a catastrophic failure and instead elect someone whose record aligns with our values

IL is on the verge of electing a Senator far more aligned with Trump, MAGA power brokers & ICE infrastructure expansion than the values of a deep-blue state.

Here’s what Raja Krishnamoorthi hopes you don’t know about him & how we elect someone better.

Probably posting too much, but the Lansing City Pulse newspaper did a story on my latest book, Blood of the Witness Tree… I mean, I have to share it, right?

The Kindle cover of the book Where the Wildflowers Grow by Terah Shelton Harris shows a Black woman on her back in a garden of brightly colored flowers.

My review of WHERE THE WILDFLOWERS GROW by Terah Shelton Harris is on IG/SG. Leigh escapes a prison bus crash & lands on a flower farm in Gee’s Bend, Alabama. As she bonds with the land & other farmers, she comes to terms with her traumas. When she finds herself, she also finds love. Beautiful! 📚💙

I’ve decided my go-to response from this point forward on the topic of professional male athletes and the sycophant podcasters around them is, “Who?” I think it’s best if we believe they are of no relevance.

To be clear, I don’t work with taxes. Nevertheless, white men are anxious to tell me why they should not have to pay taxes.

I do work with a government entity in rural Illinois (blue state/red area).

This is by no means a peer-reviewed or scientific study. But my observation is that white men complain the most, had no idea they would have to pay taxes their entire lives, and are anti anyone telling them what to do.

The only thing Trump had going for him in this hurting economy was the price of gasoline. In my area, the price for a gallon of gasoline has risen $0.60 since Sunday.

I’m going to say this again. I will be forever indebted to this Heated Rivalry phenomenon if the stars singlehandedly BRING BACK SHORT-SLEEVED SWEATERS.

A dark, moody background of reddish-brown leaves fills the image. Centered over it is a rounded black text box with white lettering that reads: “The male equivalent to a woman reading a romance novel isn’t porn, it’s a man reading a romance novel” followed by a man-raising-hand emoji. In the lower right corner is the handle “@p.a.b.phd.”

Sometimes I drop into random feeds, put in some replies, and duck out. Just creating a little chaos on BlueSky.
