Anyhow, I think we owe it to kids and to each other to recognize the fact that knowledge is power.
That hiding information that very much can affect someone does not in fact protect them.

If the quality of your work doesn’t matter—just the speed at which you can produce it—then you’re not making art. You’re making content.

FRAUD ALERT: I have nothing to do with these phony books using my name on the cover. I have not written a memoir or partnered/inspired any cookbooks!
Attempts to get Amazon to take these down have gone nowhere.
