And this is why I feel like a warrior every time I sell a novel to someone between the ages of 10 and 18.
Overheard between two middle-schoolers:
"C'mon, it's only 15 graphic novels!"
"15 is a lot."
"Your faves have hundreds of volumes."
"Yeah, but I read those on my phone so I don't see how much that is. You showed me 15 books & it's like..." -pantomimes a stack of books with his hands- "...A LOT."

Be a Mister Rogers. Wear comfy shoes. Celebrate kindness. Sow affirmations. Save time for make-believe. Sing silly little songs. Testify before a senate subcommittee about the importance of quality public broadcasting. Feed fish. Love sweaters.

Pushback matters
Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv while Russia was bombing the city and sending in hit squads to kill him. J.D. Vance fled to an undisclosed location because some peaceful protesters yelled at him while he was on vacation. This is why I believe victory over these people is still possible.

Would this be a similar social crisis if it happened to women consistently for decades and decades and decades, and would it be appropriate in that case to take countervailing action rather than categorically oppose all countervailing action, is a question that occurs to me for no particular reason

Notable that Elons crew of incels and edgelords are full fledged men for the purposes of being given the keys to car to run the govt. But for the purposes of being accountable for their actions they’re just kids from good families with youthful indiscretions.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.
