Hello world. I'm Jackie Dana. I live in St. Louis, MO, and am a freelance writer who also writes fantasy fiction and local history at Unseen St. Louis, unseenstl.com. I live with several cats and an excitable lab mix, and I am a proud owner of a fridge full of cheese.

To reform "voter fraud," the Trumpers' SAVE act will make it impossible for a woman who takes her husband's name to vote. To save the arts from "woke programming," Trump has taken over the Kennedy Center, prompting an instant exodus of world-class artists.
