The TIFFANY PROBLEM occurs when a historical novel or film contains details that seem too modern to be true but are in fact correct for the time. The name Tiffany is one such example, it dates back to at least the 12th century.

Don't be surprised if you see oddball projects from me in the next couple years. Last time this MFer was in office, I wrote the most vicious, violent YA book. I'm grateful it died on submission for a number of reasons, but sometimes romance isn't hitting the need to cathartically release emotions.

If you're looking for a place to do some work, the public library is like a coffeeshop where you don't need to buy anything and there's a lot more space and you can stay as long as you like and you don't get any coffee.

Winter golden hour spent with humpback BCY0961 “Dreamer”! She’s a world traveler, having been seen in both breeding sites, Hawaii and Mexico. My friend had just asked if HBs breach not even a minute before I snapped these!

I just started listening to Bishop Budde’s book. She reads the audiobook. I’m not religious at all, but am finding it comforting and helpful in these tumultuous times.

So what’s going on with the proclamation that American energy production … is in crisis?
Partly it’s a cynical payoff to the oil industry, which more or less openly made a deal to give Trump $1 billion in return for reduced taxes and environmental regulation.
