Sometimes, sosh meads are real good at giving you a boost
If you've written a book or many or are writing one now, what a cool fucking thing you are doing. I hope you bask in how awesome it is that you had ideas and thoughts and worked on them for years to develop them into words others can understand. Like that's some sorcery shit.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.
It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.
It corrupts our political system every day.

I have worked so hard on making my "Book Voice" authentic and readable and not eye-bleeding to read, but now my "Journal Article" voice is sounding too Book Voice-y, which means the rigor police come out of the woodwork, and I'm meanwhile having a crisis over the Book Voice getting treated the same.
