Sometimes I really think I have undiagnosed ADHD, like how I'm dealing with trauma by screwing around with my LinkedIn, a new author website, and a FB author page at 1:40 in the morning.

I absolutely love this solidarity! I have been heartbroken over administrative changes at IU, particularly the dismantling of their foreign language programs.
Solidarity!! Last week, Indiana University fired the director of student media & halted print on the Indiana Daily Student newspaper. Yesterday, Purdue’s student paper printed the banned edition & drove two hours to deliver it. Incredible www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/l...
Purdue student journalists deliver special 'solidarity' newspaper to IU Bloomington campus
The special edition blasted across town features columns from IDS and Exponent editors, alongside QR codes to support both student papers.

Sorry we had to cancel your cancer treatment, but the Secretary of Defense had to fly all the generals in so he could call them fat.

Getting a lot of the doomers here on the 4th of July.

Just a reminder that on the original 4th of July, a king had already sent an army to occupy Boston, the signers of the Declaration had good reason to believe they would be hanged, and it would be another five years before Americans won the war.
