Young authors writing older characters: 70 is not that old. Pls drop the nostalgia for Elvis & fear of smart phones. A 70-yo just left her corporate job a year ago & has been on the internet longer than you have. She isn’t afraid to drive on the freeway, she’s commuted for decades. 🙄

If you feed your cat Fancy Feast wet food + they've been throwing up, switch brands. 4 of ours started throwing up recently (2 had to go to urgent care). They'd been eating Fancy Feast; we switched their food out, they're fine now. I'm seeing tons of reports of the same thing with FF in last 3 weeks
Laurie Goff Thursday at 11:17 PM • S Let me explain something to you about Joe Biden and why some of the shit that he's done in his past doesn't matter. This old rich white man played second fiddle to a black man. Not just any black man but a younger black man a smart black man. Not just for a day. Not 1, not 2 but eight years. He took his cues from this black man who had more power than him and was virtually unknown when he took the presidency and Joe Biden had been around forever. He was willing and proud to be his wing man. Not once did he try to undermine him, this black man. Instead Joe walked in lockstep with him he respected him, he loved and trusted him. He was lead by him and he learned from him. And Joe did not have a problem with it. You tell me what 40+ year "establishment" white politician has ever done that. Joe Biden is cut from a different cloth. And black folks understand that and for good reason. He has shown it. This is what showing up and being an ally looks like. When black people say they know Joe this is how we know.
I will never forget this post

Overwhelmed by tomes and doorstoppers? I wrote a MMF romantasy novella for people with extremely short attention spans. It also for people who’d enjoy one brown FMC, one brown MMC, and a subby token white guy. 😂 Check out Frostburn for $2.99.

Stop telling black kids with intellect that they act or talk white. It’s toxic and it perpetuates stereotypes stemming from, you guessed it, ✨racism✨

If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.
