This is so true and so dangerous. Trump btw just defunded the NEA. Not the worst thing he’s done but imagine if these jokers get in and just blow up ACE? Something to think about.
It's not Bake Off. It's a global far-right insurgency.

I can’t believe it’s Day 14 of the Write Habit @writerscentre! I’ve been really enjoying trying to develop and expand my writing practice this month. It’s really helping me to reach outside my comfort zone of academic writing and to try to be more imaginative and intuitive #theWriteHabit
