Packing to move and my son's demonic bunny pottery painting is staring at me. I think this will go in one of the boxes that goes in the attic and will be forgotten about until years later.

We'll be there! Love our Milwaukee Admirals!

Happy Reformation Day!

Note: This is me — I asked this question. You’ll hear me say “yes you have” here — because Johnson was already *directly asked* about one of these instances (when the Presbyterian minister was shot in the head with a pepper ball) in one of earlier shutdown press conferences.

I love it when I pick back up with a story I was working on and had to set aside, and it's even better than I remembered. #amwriting

We have nihilistic 8chan edgelords in charge of our nuclear arsenal because 30% of America still isn’t over the fact the South lost the Civil War

It's been a hot minute. I was on a fantastic writers retreat two weekends ago, but life is busy. We closed on a house and are moving in a few weeks.

When you start to realize that book 3 may actually be books 3 AND 4 ... #writing

I'm at the writers retreat! Yay! I'm at the writers retreat and the last chapter I wrote is ... Not so great.

The rule change making an H1-B visa cost $100,000 is so unfathomably devastating. It already costs around $5000. With legal fees, it runs about $20K. I know this because we just hired someone with an H1-B because their humanitarian parole was revoked and we had to go another route.

The CBC is reminding us that condemning violence without confronting racist ideology is hollow. And that honoring someone who denied systemic racism, mocked Black leaders, and pushed white nationalist conspiracy theories isn’t about healing, it’s actually about creating a martyr out of a myth.

It’s a window into the chasm between how Black and white Americans view race. For too many white people, racism is still not a dealbreaker. They’ll denounce (some) violence but protect the worldview that fuels it.

The Congressional Black Caucus released a statement following the Charlie Kirk Resolution. Only it’s not just a statement…
