In case you haven't heard, they are feeding the troops steak and lobster this week for lunch. They only do that right before deployments. #IYKYK

I daydream about how amazing and peaceful a matriarchal society would be, for everyone. Then I get pissed, because in thousands of years of power and control, men STILL haven't figured out how to stop beating each other with rocks and sticks. Now we have guns, swords and WW3, because of men's egos.

Love people. Do good things. Help one person live a better life. Work together, so we all thrive. That does more to change society and the world for the better than anything politicians come up with. #LovePeople #DoGoodThings #HelpOne

If you can't lead a country without starting a war or taking over another country, you're bad at your job and should be fired. Only a manbaby needs to use bombs and kill people.

Bed rotting and binge reading smutty books may not solve all your problems, but it beats succumbing to the existential dread, depression spiral and anxiety attacks as the whole world watches the USA crumble. Do what makes you happy, at least for an hour a day.

Neurospicy brains think outside the boxes. All the boxes of our made-up society don't stack up neatly in color-coded organization piles, and nothing in life is permanent or as important as humans make it out to be, so we kinda have to do life things our own way.

Voltaire's Candide is horribly violent, but also hilarious. #BookSky💙📚 #ReadingCommunity #AmReading

When I shattered my Tib/Fib in four places, I recovered at my grandparents house. Their dog, Pixie, was the best nurse. She was very protective. It's been 8 years, and every time she sees me, she sniffs my injured leg first, to "check on it", licks my ankle, and then wants to cuddle and play.

The patriarchy is terrified of an educated, intelligent, well-spoken, powerful woman. People are crying, "Can I change my vote?" "Where is Kamala?" She's not POTUS, VP or a Senator. You didn't vote for her. She's home, taking care of her family. Deal with it.🙄 Or join the Revolution.

In case you didn’t know - “illegal” immigration is a civil “offense” not a criminal one. Quotes because humans are not illegal and existing is not an offense.

If you didn't read Project 2025 before you voted, go read it. Kamala warned everyone. You didn't want to listen, because she is a woman who smiled too much. 🙄 Now, do you see how badly you FUCKED UP voting for the narcissistic, racist, rapist-in-chief?

I don't care if someone was born here in America or not. No one will ever convince me that a piece of paper is more valuable than a person's life. Tearing a sobbing child from their parents' arms, throwing them in a cage, and denying them food and water is not acceptable. That's sick and insane.

As a white person, I don't want to hear a single one of us say the word "illegal" when referencing darker-skinned human beings. No one owns this planet. WE ARE LIVING ON STOLEN LAND. The only people who should be allowed to govern this country are First Nations people groups.

Some women do not belong to this world. She is too deeply connected to primal forces. Carrying ancient wisdom that transcends time. Her soul remembers whispers of ancient stories and spells. Now she is a powerful guardian of magic and mysticism, that no man can steal, kill, control or destroy.

The biggest sign of #AuDHD for me is 4 things: 1. Peopleing is exhausting. 2. I either can't focus at all or hyperfocus. 3. The 4+ drinks around my desk at all times. 4. I have strong feelings about socks.

Two of the wealthiest, powerful men leading the USA are breaking up, throwing hemotional tantrums, publicly trashing each other, and crashing out in front of the entire world. I don't want to hear men ever saying women are "too emotional" to be good leaders ever again.

The majority of male ejaculate is subpar sperm. How healthy a woman's pregnancy is, depends on the health of the man. 1 in 4 pregnancies end in spontaneous miscarriage, which we know is due to DNA fragmentation of the sperm. It's asinine that women anywhere face criminal charges for miscarriage.

Dad: I don't see you much these days. Me: Writing is a solitary activity. I'm busy writing. Dad: I can help you write. Me: I'm creating a series of literature and creative writing courses to teach people how to write. Dad: You're going to learnify people how to read. Me: *Laughing* Yes

#WritingTips Write the book synopsis first, when the story idea is new and exciting in your mind. Focus on who, what, when, where and why. When you're done with the first draft, it will be much easier to revise the book blurb because it already exists. #WritingCommunity #Authors #Booksky💙📚

Here is my personal philosophy, based on several decades of watching publishers go under: the moment a publisher is late on money because they don't have it, they are the enemy and your goal is to get your rights back.

Always remember that readers do not see what is in your mind the way you do. Make your setting feel real and immersive using all five senses. What does the air taste like? Do colors hold texture? Can you smell what your character is touching? Details matter. #WritingTips #Authors #Booksky💙📚

#WritingTip: If you're stuck and you don't know what happens next: #Fantasy- add a dragon or curse. #Romance- Trap them in a room together. Make them kiss. #Mystery or #Horror- Kill a character. #Other- Throw a party. Works every time. #WritingCommunity #Authors #FictionWriters #Booksky💙📚

Let your MC’s biggest perceived flaw become their greatest strength in the end. The thing they always hated about their personality is exactly what saves them. The personal struggle and character growth that results make them more relatable human beings to readers. #WritingTips #Authors #Booksky💙📚

Your story's hero should be doing small heroic things throughout the novel, not just at the climactic end. Also, let your hero fail at some mundane things, like parallel parking, to help keep them humble and grounded. 🚗😅 #WritingTips #Authors #Booksky

Make your story's climax hinge on a tiny detail from chapter one, like a lost button, or some other mundane little thing that ties the last threads of your story to the beginning.🧵🔍 #WritingTips #Authors #Booksky📚💙

My idea of heaven is a giant #library with a cozy daybed, a warm fireplace, unlimited snacks, a pet lion to snuggle with while I #read every book ever written, because I didn't have enough time to read them all in this lifetime. #Booksky💙📚 #Hyperlexic #BookNerd

They are using Adriana Smith to experiment on. If the baby is born alive, they will try to do it other women too, because this sets a precedent. I hope the family sues every doctor involved, the entire hospital and the state, and lawmakers. Take every penny from them all.

It's obvious who has never been educated by a closed fist to the face. The loudest people don't have confidence. They have delusions. Bet they won't finish that sentence mid-nosebleed. Respect isn't a virtue. It's muscle memory. The people who don't have it have never been humbled by hands.

#Writetip: I could give 100 people the same writing prompt and I’d get 100 different stories. Don’t try to write anyone else’s story just because you think that’s the one you “should” write. Write the story only you can write. Your voice is unique. Celebrate that! #amwriting #writingcommunity
