SoCal friends, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. A few things I wish I’d known as we evacuated ahead of a wildfire (that took our home in 2021) 🧵

You should make a tumblr poll! We’ll help you out.

You must be swarming with offers of marriage.

It’s also on kobo!

Your recs are always the best.

How many pages do you think you could read in a week?

Yes! Although you can’t comment on people’s ratings and books.

I knew there were reasons why we are friends.

The solution to the NRA buying politicians isn’t to stop the NRA itself, it’s to stop allowing ALL groups that at dark money groups from being able to buy politicians.

This is bigger than red v. blue, campaign finance is an issue within both major political parties.
