The Fiji coral spawning video has dropped. Son says this is the best spawning in 8 years. Coral normally spawns in the dark of night but this happy reef is so fecund it carries on spawning in the daylight! Give it a like on YouTube if you back marine conservation!

If your AI model allows any random person to suspend an author like her, it clearly needs more training to weed out the bad actors who use systems like this to silence people.

What does it cost to hire a freelance editor?
It depends on the kind of book you need edited and what kind of editing you want done. The Editorial Freelancers Association has a calculator (rates for 2024 rolled over to 2025).

We're debating on the government funding package right now and every single Republican voted against a Democratic amendment to pass a clean, one-year extension of the ACA tax credits.
Republicans just don't care about your health care.

If you can, use Chapter 1 to set up the whole book. Introduce as many characters as the POV character knows. Set up their first goal and their life. Let the reader know where the story is taking place. And foreshadow your ending if possible.

Land doesn't vote. You can look at maps like that all you want, but when you clean up that map to look at population, not land... it's a very different picture. Arguing that the white space is all farmland makes you question where the farmers are.

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

It goes even deeper than this. The vast bulk of red state agriculture is corn, soybeans or seed crops.
And most of it is not for US human consumption! We export 20% of our corn, half of our soybean and seeds. The rest?
Most of it becomes oil, animal feed or….ETHANOL.
