Mother Nature's laws, those of physics, biology, are not overruled ... ignored, denied, yes. A wave of the political hand will not protect our health nor health of loved ones and future generations from changes in the natural world.
The president is overruling science to eliminate measures that protect us from pollution and environmental damage, mainly to benefit multinational corporations that have thrown money at his campaign, ballroom, and family.
It's simple corruption, and it will cost American lives and livelihoods.

Decoding that deeply moving Bad Bunny performance last night, Abby Hughes helps us out with cultural competency, loved her article below. Thanks Abby! And Bon, for sharing. #badbunny
Mainstream media, take note. This is how you review a culturally rich performance. You help your readers understand its significance.
Great article, Abby Hughes, CBC.

Thanks for another great chat! If you're looking for a book with an anxious protagonist whose anxiety isn't magically cured by facing her fears, Little White Flowers may be for you. It's not a story about overcoming anxiety but persevering WITH anxiety.

Great question in the #horrorwriterschat for today: How changed does one (or things around them) become if embracing their darkest parts?
In my stories, people change completely facing death or chaos (maybe because I do). What's around them, not so much. More how they "see" or "frame" a new role.

All the abuse. All the manipulation. All the tyranny. Blistering scabs on your soul. Your breaths rumble in the mound.
Your eyes lock with the god in front of you.
How changed do your characters become if they embrace their darkest parts? Do things change around them?

#HorrorWritersChat Joining from NYC, I'm Jennifer (J.J. Brown), scientist and fiction writer, often write female scientists in my stories as central characters facing change, death or chaos. The darkest part of myself would be my dreams, an endless source of plots for my creative writing.
The mound’s warm innards thrum as you descend. A huge, stone slab is ahead, shining with portent.
Eyes, older than words, behold you from the darkness. A question emerges.
Tell us who you are, what do you write, and what part of yourself do you consider the darkest?
