How does someone even start to figure out what else they want to do when their dream job is going through an identity crisis and you're worried it's not going to end well? Asking for a friend. ...but maybe that friend is me. Idk what I want to do when I grow up anymore, y'all.

Max is one of my favorite people on this planet. The hand they have been dealt is unfair, unjust, and awful. I'm not in a financial position to help, which breaks my heart -- but maybe some of you are.

Use 5Calls and CALL YOUR REPS. Hakeem Jeffries is using his time on the floor so we can continue to voice their opposition to the "Big Beautiful Bill." He has been speaking for hours, making sure the GOP couldn't pass the bill in the dead of night as Americans slept. CALL. YOUR. REPS.

If I had a nickel for every time an Uber driver on this work trip has asked me to explain to them why audiobooks count as reading, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but wild it's happened twice for such a short trip - I've been gone ONE NIGHT

In my current WIP I made the discovery that if I make my placeholder a meme, I am tickled enough to move on and come back to it later - landed on [Somehow, Palpatine returned]. Highly recommend 😂

Feel uncomfortable doing this but - it's my birthday! I'm temporarily supporting myself and my mom on a salary that barely supports just me. If anyone can spare a couple dollars, it would be so, so appreciated.
