We need the horror genre. Horror pulls out the monsters in our minds and haunts us in our waking hours; is the perfect genre for the shadow work we'll be doing for the next few years.
My book launch has been my favorite day this year.
I can't believe I'm a horror author, officially.

The goal is $25,000.
“We can create this coffee shop venture that is going to be employee-owned, so it’s going to give the team ownership.”

When we can't pay to live with money, we will be forced to pay with our labor until we are used up.
That's the direction we are moving in. Modern day slavery.

I’m trying to figure out what the plan is. Have all Americans dumb, broke, and sick? And then what?

Americans are FAR TOO VULNERABLE to everything that's happening right now, bc of our very coddled belief that certain things just *can't* happen here, even as we see them dismantled. This is not a fast or easy fix, we're not at the worst part yet, even. Yes, fight back. Engage your lawmakers...

I say this not as a criticism because to Shay's point, everything happening is outside the imaginations of most Americans, which is why some really couldn't fathom the threat. And this isn't doom or fear-mongering but realism: ain't no midterm save. This is a four year fight AT LEAST. Prepare
Whatever is headed our way. It's outside our imaginations because we've never experienced it. Therefore, for many, it's unthinkable. But I'm increasingly convinced if we don't get this train back on track in the coming days/weeks. There will be no midterm save, much less 2028.

You must set the terms of debate in order to win it. This is why, as Republicans have always understood, current public opinion is meaningless. And why Democrats, constantly chasing what they think polls say, keep losing.

But also, protests ARE happening. Hundreds of folks turned out in NYC a few nights ago in support of trans folks. There was the Day without Immigrants. People blocked a highway in LA.
What happened is you made it clear you don’t want activism on campuses which was a HUGE mistake. Dah well.

My last one couldn't find the brush I needed so he brought me makeup wipes. It gets to a point dude.
Hear me out – what if it’s not the male Instacarters’ fault for messing up orders? What if some of the women-folks ain’t giving good instructions?
