Today I gave away food to the hungry.
The food was a sandwich and the hungry was me.
It was lunchtime.
I'm working on a novel and this morning I crested 41,000 words. It's the longest piece of fiction I've ever written. When I attempted last year, I lost steam at 40,680 words.
My goal: 75k words by the end of December.
In search of: Podcast guest who can speak to disinformation about the US economy.
I have a podcast called Unchecked about disinformation and the systems that enable it.
We've covered vaccines, gun violence, climate change, + more.

First they came for the vaccines
