95% of authors are not making a living through book publishing. The public needs to understand this.

If we are gonna be flying like it’s the 1950s, can we get seats on flights like the 1950s?

Maybe people act like assholes on planes now because they’re uncomfortable as fuck
Man, they are taking this “let’s push the country all the way back to the 1950’s” thing to peak cos-play.

Sith you asked: it began in medias res w/gov of IL and/or a journalist, raising the phantom of menace from clone fans who attacked&took revenge, striking back against the awakening of a returning rogue opinion, while 1 solo man raised a new hope that ESB remains #1. Jedi daresay, all agree RoS sucks

Sapariah “Arie” Saturi grew up in West Kalimantan amid recurring forest and peatland fires, experiences that shaped her understanding of Indonesia’s environmental crises.

Remember Andrew Wakefield?
Here he is with his friend RFK Jr. in 2020.

Wakefield is the guy behind the fraudulent, retracted MMR–autism study. He lost his medical license for subjecting autistic children to unnecessary invasive procedures.

Now, with Kennedy in power, he’s getting a second act.

Andrew Wakefield is a con artist, and our autism community members are his victims. Avoid his dangerous pseudoscience messages at all cost. From @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social:
