Well I'd vote for her.
Trump and Musk don't want watchdogs like the CFPB protecting the people.

They want big banks and bad actors to run rampant and take people for a ride.

They want to pillage the government and make themselves rich.

But we won't let them.

Goal for today. Go to bed soon after my Italian lesson so that I can get up early tomorrow, raving to go and ready to write.

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

In my memory feed on facebuk... today was a suggestion that I write a self-help book for immortals.

After another writing battle finishes, I'm disappointed only to get 3 points. Time to get back to my novel maybe. #writingbattle #amwriting #amreallywriting

I finally closed my twitter account after 12 years. There were good times, there were bad times. There was a faint musky (or musty) aroma.
