So the rich really are stealing from the poor?

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.” It’s who our government is for. Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world — or for the rest of us?

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

I spend a lot of time thinking about how having money and/or status has solved many executive functioning problems throughout history. If you're wealthy, you can pay people to do executive functioning for you and that's normal. But if you're poor, executive functioning problems show bad character.

How is this not the biggest scandal in America? How can an op-ed writer pen another missive about the terror of cancel culture and just not give a shit about this?

I'm really excited about this book, and here's why: 1. It was inspired by my teen daughter, the coolest person I know 2. It merges Hannibal with a farmer's market 3. I was horribly depressed when I lived in Athens, and I would've totally fallen for Ash 4. The actual book is GORGEOUS 5. The blurbs!!

Suicide Prevention Day should be more about expanding access to healthcare, eliminating poverty, and ending oppression, not just "reach out to your friends" and helpline copypasta.

Look, I don't want to pressure any of you, but if all 926,164 people currently on Bluesky would just preorder Starter Villain, I could make a really good argument to my publisher that I never need to go on the former Twitter again, and honestly that would be so great
