On Star Trek, the ship’s doctor and counselor were empowered to relieve the captain if needed, based on physical and mental health problems that impacted the ability to lead safely.
Shouldn’t we have that in the White House?

Seeing “Trump threatens…” so often in feeds, I wondered what that is doing to our psyches. I stumped AI, asking how often the phrase appears in the news. Then I asked if there were 20 recent instances. Yup.
What do you think happens to us when we hear “Trump threatens” over and over?

@gfaulknerwriter.bsky.social thank you for your book, *Pep Talks for Writers* and everything else you do to support writers. The younger writer in me (who was so daunted and dejected that she didn’t write for 2 decades) is happy to have you in her corner.

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

Curious if/how you are using AI in your work. So far, it’s helped me with outlining and research. What else should I explore?

This is the solstice, the still point
of the sun, its cusp and midnight,
the year's threshold
and unlocking, where the past
lets go of and becomes the future;
the place of caught breath
