If you're thinking of buying an #electricvehicle, now is the time. Fed tax credits (and matching company rebates for those not qualifying) end Sept 30, and the cars are better than ever. I wrote about my experience buying one at NatGeo

One of the smartest takes I've read on the #Epstein #birthdaybook. "Sanitizing this document would be wrong, so I’ll be blunt: The Epstein birthday book is full of contributions from wealthy and powerful people who, in some cases, allude winkingly to Epstein’s predatory lifestyle."

A major government study about alcohol and its health harms won’t be released publicly. Apparently making America healthy doesn’t include alerting us that
even moderate drinking (one or two drinks per day, depending on gender) increases the risk of cancer and liver disease.

People often ask me how many revisions it takes before a novel is finished. Let's just say I'm on my fifth revise of my upcoming mindfulness/yoga women's novel, Yoga Bind, and there will be at least one more. 🙃
