Some of the best writing advice given to me from some wise creators:
1. Write every day even if its something small or silly.
2. Never shoot for perfection as there is no such thing.
3. Write because you want to not because you must.

youtu.be/RHggJTaGvsk?... This is one of the best descriptions of why we need to teach “kindness” rather than empathy. Empathy is a double-edged sword that can be weaponized (think charismatic, populist leaders), whereas kindness is a conscious choice.

This President’s Day, let’s be real: it should have been Kamala Harris' Day. ✨
We should be celebrating leadership and progress, not honoring an orange felon. 🚫🍊 He is not my president, and he never will be.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Why are we making veterans jump through hoops for mental health care tied directly to their service? Bureaucracy shouldn't stand in the way of healing.
VA, do better. Our vets deserve immediate support, not a waitlist. 🎖️🩹

Today, after a long wait, 157 Ukrainians came back, including 7 civilians.
