Belatedly, but it's such a Superb Owl
It's evidently the day for #SuperbOwl pics -- here's one from UMass's W. E. B. Du Bois Library's wonderfully decorated stairwells (just don't ask me which floor!)

Worked on editing DDD today. Deleted a lot. Added a lot. Edited a lot. Changed the direction of the first few chapters. I am now 5% done with editing. Not a lot, but finally progressing from beginning to end instead of writing new scenes for other parts of the novel.

Classy.
No wonder the orange toddler is unhinged once again.
The Obamas are competent, classy, loving, Harvard and Princeton graduates, loved by many, not on the Epstein files, got the Nobel Peace Prize, and gave us a steady economy to boot.
Repost this if you agree they are AMAZING and an inspiration!

Just for today and tomorrow, since I’d love to buy some stuff at this convention I’m at (including food), my waist ups are $65. I really did try to save up for this one. Things kept happening preventing me from saving. So please fill the form out if you’d like that.
I've decided to open up my new form and share with y'all. It will be open until the end of February. Hoping to reopen in June. I've also updated my Trello with the batches. 🌟 I found it works for me.
Please do send inquiries for commissions if you're interested! <3

His stage name is BAD BUNNY... a bad-ass artist and honey-of-a-Bunny. His given name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. He is a handsome 31-year-old American citizen. Make no mistake. 1917: The Jones Act grants U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. I'll be watching... I'm a huge fan!

Not all heroes wear capes.
ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.
This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.
They hate the helpers.
Which is why must keep helping.

Twin Cities tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after ICE arrests
Juan Leon sends a "chase" car to check out where abandoned vehicles are located and arranges discreet drop-offs. Since late December, he estimated they have dropped off 250 cars.

Fun fact: writers don't 'finish' books, we just eventually stop editing before we spiral into madness.
