This is my review of Next Man Up - a hockey romance that accidentally mirrored real-life events. It was handled well by an author who's a true fan of the game. This is a bit long-winded, but it shares some thoughts on this emotional read. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I love these animals. They're so gorgeous!

I’m working on a funny miscommunication. It’s just 1 maybe 2 scenes in my romance, but there won't be a 3rd act breakup. This is a friends-to-lovers romance. Friends. So, they’ll figure things out. And for the record, the guy is being a total dork. But he’s adorable, anyway! Don’t Call Me Ma’am

Full of redactions, the thousands of newly released Epstein files seem unlikely to end any Epstein conspiracy theorizing. Likely, they will do the opposite, @cwarzel.bsky.social argues.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Pretty much sums up America today.

When the GOP wasn't evil.

Clearly they’re not done redacting

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK: He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial. C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

Mr. President - you need to clean your own house before you complain to others about murder, kidnapping, and especially human trafficking.

Hey - if you have a minute tonight, would you please say a prayer or spare a good thought for my old pastor and his wife? Rev Fred and Cleta Mathias Killed this day in 1996. I haven’t really gone to church since then but I think about them every December 15. They were good people.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
