Just looked on Google maps and sadly yes, the Gulf of America is there. I'd like to suggest replacing the Atlantic Ocean with Bigly Ocean and Pacific with Yuge American Ocean. Just an idea

Exoputians 'outer people' shows off who and what the inner people are. Awful. Welcome to American Fascism. Written in 2019, published last year
Unfortunately 'former' no longer applies. But my novel Exoputians grapples head-fucking-on with right wing extremism and the weakness of the 'other party'. #scifibooks

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I feel like half the people I work with are providing confusing anecdotes and long winded answers. I guess I'm late to the game

Time to stop supporting the monopoly.

That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

A lot of people are excited for #blackFriday which yeah ok, but I'm not a proponent of the marketing bullshit holiday it is, and as an author am not putting anything on sale. Be with your family, go outside, go for a walk, stop buying shit every excuse we get
