ROUGH week. I was productive, had lots of appts, all went well, I'm not even that behind on ppwork. But...the acuity. the angst. the hopelessness. the SUFFERING. It was a lot. I haven't seen mental health this poor since late 2001. The kids are not OK and neither are their parents or teachers💨

How many times I got to tell authors this: under promise and over deliver. If you are not %95 sure you have the manpower and the time to do a book box or a special edition? Don't do it. #indieauthors

I just read about a professional athlete who gave it his all. For me that's not laudable it's what's expected, especially for what they're getting paid.

www.youtube.com/live/eFofkRm... How bad does it have to be that the Dept of Corrections of MN has to dispute DHS reports to the public. gives me “leave us out of your BS, DHS“. DHS lies and he’s saying whatever records DHS is using are old, inadequate, or incorrect or simply don’t exist.

I wrote an essay yesterday about the Epstein files and my idea of what could be done. Someone should tell Trump we will redact his name if we can release ALL the others. men on that list are hurting children right now in so many ways, and they need to be removed from society.

I have read the Bible 3 times. Is it a design for living? Not in my opinion. It was written as a way to control the population. If you're good, you're going to get to meet Jesus, that part has erased by the right wingers. Not too many of them are gonna get to meet Jesus or whoever's up there...

Wow. Temperature has dropped almost 20 degrees in last 90 minutes.
It’s pouring rain right now. Where was this rain when it was 80F?
The good news is that it won’t be below freezing until much later today;
that rain will have a chance to soak in and help the plants and trees survive the freeze.

This beautiful axe tells a story of trade, travel, and value in Neolithic Ireland.
