24 years of teaching we've gone from respected public servants who educated kids, to ungrateful babysitters, to snowflakes propagandizing "critical race theory" to "social justice" to "woke," and forcing kids to read "pornography."
Now we're terrorists.

I got an abnormally large advance ($100k) for my debut duology I sold two years ago. Minus taxes and my agent’s cut, I've seen roughly 50% of that (last chunk is paid out when I submit the complete (edited, not just drafted) second book. First book isn't out until next spring.

As an 8th grade teacher, this is the first year in a decade that I haven't had any openly trans students in my classes. It's sad that these kids who were feeling they could more safely be themselves, now have to hide themselves away.
This has been one of the hardest years to be transgender in nearly a century. Today we remember all the sisters and brothers we've lost to the surging tide of hate, and redouble our resolve to support and defend one another at a time when few others will. Hold out. We'll see the other side together.

Watched The Beast In Me, and mostly liked it. Just wondering why so many shows have like some big flashback episode right before the finale, especially one that no one needs, and the narrative doesn’t need either.

When I think of AI I think of Prince being asked about holograms of dead celebrities:
“That's the most demonic thing imaginable.… If I was meant to jam with Duke Ellington, we would have lived in the same age. That whole virtual reality thing... it really is demonic. And I am not a demon."

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

NEW: The White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation.
“It was so offensive to what we’re all here to do, to uphold the law and protect the American people,” one official involved said.
