There’s microraptor, anchisaurus, baryonyx, troodon,
Triceratops, dilophosaurus, and then hypsilophodon,*
There’s oviraptor, maiasaura, and the saurolophinae,
And also spinosaurus, whom we think was found in waterways.

In The Dawn of Detroit, Tiya Miles begins by teaching readers that long before the fort of Detroit & Sandwich (later Windsor) existed, the unceded Anishinaabe village of Waawiiya-a-ta-nong existed on both sides of our strait.
In the beginning, this was one village.

This made me think of the best writing tip I've seen: keep a "vent file." Before you start writing "for real," open your vent file and freewrite for 10 mins about where you're frustrated, excited, mad, blocked etc. You have to honor, not hide, where your mind is. But not in your draft or article.
Posting doomerish comments in the mentions of strangers is not revolutionary, just a sign you need to buy and use a journal
