"No, no, no, that's not what we do here."
Saw this on my socials and had to share as this is 100% me📚

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

The purpose of yesterday was to frighten us to submitting in advance. I have my freedom of speech and I will use it here and everywhere else I exist online to make my voice heard. No oligarch, no president will silence me. So, be prepared for more Latinx books just as soon as my mourning ends, okay?

I'm pretty surprised I'd rather reread, but that's probably the ADHD and my eyes are definitely too old for ereaders only 😅💙📚✨️

I'm only okay with #tiktok 2.0 if it comes with free Healthcare, lowered taxes and cheaper food like I'm seeing on 🟥📝

When you're an introverted mom with an extroverted son, playtime includes checking weap*ns out from HR and making sure you've got your patents and copywrite squared away before destroying a city 😅

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

Submitted my flash fiction for the 1st Jerboa Lit competition. I'm really happy with how it turned out and loved the challenge of writing a 500-word story with selected prompts:

Opening line, "Mary, obviously, blamed the explosion for falling in love."

Apps are communities… we share our loves, hopes, fears, and dreams…

When you lose a community that is a real loss

It’s okay to mourn those losses

I liked TikTok because I got to be who I really am in my heart: a creepy little lurker who watches everything and says little.

I loved dystopian novels so much that I wrote my masters thesis about adolescent psychology and the draw to dystopian literature but now I'm reeeeally regretting that decision becuase I did not think I'd live out my 30s in one 😳😫
