Work on the sequel. 📚

Renee Good's partner addresses Minneapolis immigration crackdown one month after killing Becca Good has seldom spoken out since Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

Responsible?!
No way. The Girl Scouts need our support. And Thin Mints freeze really well.

So many big days feel like that, don't they?

The small business owners Trump never paid in full | CNN Politics A contract with Donald Trump seemed like the deal of a lifetime. But it turned into a nightmare when the paycheck never came.

Always the same.

The Taj Mahal, the most expensive casino ever built in Atlantic City, became a nightmare for local contractors.

Thank you!
I really would rather they eat anything BUT my house.
I suppose I could fill the hole with seeds.

Enjoy your fantasy. I'll just continue standing here holding on to the strap, hanging on for dear life. 🌺

Sweet. I have a small woodpecker tapping on my house. Maybe I should go get some seeds.

MSNBC: Do you believe Donald Trump is a racist?

HAKEEM JEFFRIES: If the guy is not a racist, he's certainly doing the best job that he can trying to convince us otherwise

Writing as catharsis. Don't write about your quirks. Make your characters quirky. I like that. Great reminder.

Noooo....

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Cute. ☀️

A look into the woods reveals a deer standing in front of a tree, looking right at the camera. The deer blends in with the bark of the tree. Hiding in plain sight.

Held without hands. I keep thinking of this phrase, Jenny. It's what we're all searching for. 💜

"A C's a degree," as some of my students used to tell me.
So sorry. Did their parents call you when they didn't get the grade they expected?

Frozen decorative waterfall runs through large rust-colored stones. The water ran into a pool that is now frozen and covered in snow. The frozen waterfall looks like an icy tube, mostly frozen but with a gaping opening near the camera where water still flows. Even though the water feature is too perfect and looks a little fake, the frigid air and water freezing in mid-air is very real.

Oh, I hope so.

Hah, Colin. Good question, but nothing really specific. Certainly nothing recent. I think this is a common feeling. It goes along with "I didn't want that (job, spouse, spot on a team) anyway!" To cope with rejection, we reframe our desires. Let's call it the "I Had An Absent Dad" syndrome. 💔✌️

I rejected you first
I didn't want to go anyway
black belt
in protecting
myself
oh yeah
I'll just be sitting
over here
alone
myself
reliving how
I rejected you first

I love this ... reliving it but from a distance. 🌺
