Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Wow, this says it all.
CBS News filmed but DIDN'T air this interview in which NYC Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss defends NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, clarifying that Mamdani is opposed to Zionism and Israel's genocide but he's NOT antisemitic. A Jewish rabbi praising a Muslim Mayor. I wonder why they didn't air it? 🤔 #USPolitics

as a writer, how do you balance staying true to your original vision with giving the story the freedom to go where it wants to go? i feel like by the time i finish this book it is going to be unrecognizable from the one i set out to write and i feel conflicted about it.

Happy for everyone who has already dissembled Christmas, but it could not be me. Tree’s still up, dragon hoard piles of presents underneath, no sense of the passage of time. Chaos week celebration activated.
