I generally only post about book stuff on here, when I post, but damn. This fucking country. (U.S.) I know how we got here, but how? We just allowing these thugs in uniform to kill innocent people in the streets? I'm so tired. But I am not giving up. Also fuck ice. Fuck drumpf.

I'm procrastinating, which is making me feel terrible which is putting me in a freeze state, which is horrible because I have deadlines. How's everyone doing?

Does anyone else get a headache the first day of their period? Cuz what the fuck is even this?

I've never seen people more selfish than when they're all out participating in consumerism. Happy fucking holidays.

There was a guy I thought I had a crush on. We had tentative plans to meet up when I was back in town. Told him I was back, invited him to a thing, no response. Crush has been eradicated.

Anthony Joshua can get anything he wants right now... including this pu**y. I said what I said!

Anyone watch the movie Legion w/ Paul Bettany? A lot to dislike about the film. Especially since they hyped a fight with an ice cream man spider, and didn't deliver. HOWEVER, if you are one to believe in the bible, maybe God's not coming back cuz he tired of the bullshit. #Hottakes

It's rough learning your country's actual history and realizing we were always going to end up here. -an American

I think it's incredibly unprofessional and racist to call it Obama care. But I suppose it's the only way to gaslight your constituents while you continue to rob them blind and snatch their safety net. Smh.

Today I learned that did can eat oranges, and my dog enjoys them. In small doses of course.

I know America is Colonialism 2.0, but damn. It's hard to live here. For real.

Mugs out here eating horse treats?!? FUCKING HORSE TREATS!!!

I just learned that T-Pain's wife is named Amber, and I feel like I've just won the lottery. Don't ask me why. It just is.

Post something random or you'll have an awful December

Y'all, check on your kids! Just saw a video of a 19 year old talking about he was microdosing meth as a way of "lean-maxxing" WHAT in the ENTIRE fuck!

I often wonder how much better my life would be if I worked on it as much as I procrastinated. And this is why evil always wins.

Is Coogi associated with wholesome again? Cuz I just saw a wonderful human wearing a gorgeous one, and I want to wear one too.

Let's all have a moment of silence for any plans that where scheduled today. The red wave has come. Nothing will be done.

You think Donnie's popular with the boys because his small hands make them feel more masculine?

Mike Pencil dick got an invite and McTaco tits didn't? Didn't know there were levels to hell.

I'll never buy a twinning again. May as well be colored water. #SaidNoAmericanEver But in all seriousness. It is damn near flavorless. Especially compared to the international treats I've had lately.

Does anyone else get sleepy after a good writing sprint? It's been happening the last couple of days for me. Also, I've begun writing every day with or without "inspiration" in order to create a habit. #writers

I feel like I'm not as funny as I think. That's wildly unsettling. Cuz I'm funny as fuck!

As my cousin keeps me on the phone for hours at a time, I'm realizing why therapists be like... mmhm. I see. Right. I love her though. She be cracking me up for real. #family

This is bullshit. My brother and I went out to eat on this fine Veteran's Day AND yesterday was the Corps Birthday. Yet somehow I STILL end up paying! Hate having younger siblings! *joking* Sending love & compassion to all the Vets out there.

What's your go-to snack when writing? Currently, I'm snacking on green grapes. #writers #authors

My mom thought I called her the flash cuz of her hot flashes. It's actually cuz whenever she gets frustrated, her crazy side flashes out, & you can't make sound for at least five to ten minutes, or it'll get worse. Like a shark that smells blood in the water I'll give her 15 minutes this time.

I stopped "debating" people when I realized I could never get them to see it from a humanitarian side. People deserve the right to live comfortably and deserve to be taken care of. Periodt

They're really pushing this Pete Davidson leading man rom-com thing, aren't they? Le sigh

The problem with women who have lots of tattoos is that they're harder to control. Also, harder to murder cuz there's so many distinctive recognizable parts that can be identified. Probably don't taste that good either. - Misogynists, Rapists, Murderers, Cannibals.

Today, I became "water down your fruit drinks" old. Good times #AgingGracefully

Where did the pepperoni disappear to in Tostinos pizza rolls? Did they think we wouldn't notice? Cuz we did! #foodstuffs

Spent the week editing because it's what I must do. However, it's not my favorite part of the process, if I'm honest. #bookNovel

Having friends who believe in you is something else. Pure magic!

I'm an optimist, but don't push me. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk. K bye!

I hope I have given fidelity, and that everyone viscerally understands: You will have to come through me.

I've been hesitant to speak on the hate speech oficianado, but it's quite telling how many European Americans are out here attempting to humanize a person who'd be capitalizing on this moment to spew even more hateful rhetoric. The dangers of the white moderate are alive and well. #charliekirk

I have finished a draft of the new beginning of my novella, and I am so happy! I want to share more, but the way my ADHD works, I need to wait until I'm fully finished with the entire draft. Lol
