"We assume Trump supporters will abandon him once conditions deteriorate enough, once policies fail badly enough, once reality becomes undeniable enough. History shows us something quite different about how people behave inside sealed information environments..."

History Says Most Trump Supporters Will Never Turn On Him. No Matter What.

I remember the moment in a psychology course when my professor described the Soviet famine of the 1930s with a detail that has never left me.

At what point will our media ask about Trump’s obvious mental decline? He’s so far gone that he does not remember he was president in January 6, 2021

I've written about my mom several times, so in her memory, I'd love if you read about her. Her Betty Crocker cookbook (though thankfully, not her parenting!) inspired parts of my first novel, Everything I Never Told You. I wrote about her, and it, here.

Premium increases notices will soon arrive in the mailboxes of Americans all over the US.

The average increase? 114%.

For some, the numbers are even higher:

Both my democratic senators voted for this. I don't know what to do anymore. I call and call and try to make this place better but if my legislators won't listen to me I don't know what else to do. I'm starting to understand why some people just don't vote anymore. I feel so defeated.

Just finished up this custom painted Sky Cat. I really love how it came out. I am currently closed for customs on these but will reopen for them in the new year.
