If your favorite flavor is schadenfreude, stay tuned for our debut episode!
Well, this is either going to be the most groundbreaking series in the "clueless writers be writing" podcast space OR it's going to be hopelessly, irretrievably embarrassing. @kirkrafferty.com and I are recording the first ep of @badlitfriends.bsky.social tomorrow so get ready to cringe! #writesky

Except it’s our faces that receive the splash back. Tariffs are paid twice, once by the exporting country to the US government, and again by US consumers on the extra costs levied on these goods to recoup their losses. It’s like when your landlord’s taxes and expenses increase your rent increases.
Perfectly captured.

Me, every time. Also, thrust out right arm toward adult child at quick auto stops.
This wrecks me—every single time.

Spent the morning thinking about some charming #earlymodern drinking* vessels in the shape of books.
