Spot on Chloe

If you see me write a hyperbolic tweet saying I do not like something, there is absolutely no need to advise me that you do like it. a) I have no power to take the thing from you b) I would not if I could, that would be mean c) I deeply, profoundly, in the marrow of my bones, don't care.

Politicians are showing their true colors, and I hope voters are paying attention. #NZpol

Two weeks left! Do YOU have a cool novella sitting in your drawer? #amwriting 📚💙

LOLSOB THIS IS MY SORROW SCOPE and tbh I've been considering doing just this. 😩

A thought for other writers: I have a novella for this call, would love to work w/ the press. However, MS is only about half done and I'm on deadline for another project, so it won't happen. Basically, you have to have (mostly) finished projects if you're going to submit stuff! 😟 #amwriting

I love this study, actually. It feels like people with autistic traits were involved in designing it and understood what they should be looking for and how to capture it.

Migration is our collective human history. People have always moved. Whether it’s from rural to urban, country to neighboring country, or straight up continents, this is what we do. Social stability is not at risk because people moved it’s at risk because you are a hater.

THANK GAWD for immigrants otherwise the food here* would SUCK! 😂 Any immigrant with plans to open even a semi-authentic eatery should have their visa immediately approved. *basically any former British colony of mostly white people
