Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Inspiration images and music that are helping me as I work on INK & LUST. I loved the first draft and the edited version is making that love stronger.

I don’t think about tropes when I write. I just let the characters tell their story but here are some things you’ll find in Lemon Cake when you dive into it May 31, 2025. #booksky

Nobody hates Americans more than the U.S. government.
No amount of their propaganda will shield us from that ✨fact✨ anymore.
It’s all greed and self-interest.
“National security” from cat & dance videos? But no “school security” or “grocery store security “or “affordable housing security.”
Oh.

TikTok's algorithm makes it a really valuable resource for connecting with communities you haven't even figured out you want to connect with yet. It can be life-changing, and people dismissing it as a dancing-teenager app are showing their ignorance.
TikTok had a massive community of #ActuallyAustistic people, likely the largest autistic community in the world ever. It included all ages and speakers and non-speakers.
It also had a large chronically ill community.
The potential loss of community for many otherwise isolated folks is significant.
