Author of Ghostlight: A Story of Girlhood, Grooming, and Manipulation. I like romantic walks through haunted houses.
Murphy’s Law: If your day starts with cleaning up cat throw up once you are fully dressed and ready for work, and then end up 20 minutes late for work because your 4 year old suddenly decides he hates PreK and doesn’t want to go inside… It’s not going to get much better.

CNN only showed the first, but Elon Musk turned and did it again to the crowd behind him. This move was purposeful.

Trump’s Speech 2 (impromptu) Takeaways:

2020 was rigged. J6 is Pelosi’s fault, she’s “very guilty.” Liz Cheney is a “lunatic” and crybaby. Trump referred to himself in third person, and said he would have won California if there wasn’t cheating. 😑

Trump Speech 1 (inauguration) Takeaways:

America is going to take the Panama Canal back, put our flag on Mars, and it’s going to be the Gulf of America. Something about Manifest Destiny. 😵‍💫

Is the hype real? I’m slowly savoring Demon Copperhead but still nervous I may not like it.

I knew this piece about Neil Gaiman was in the works, and still, I felt sick reading it.

TW: rape, abuse, coercion, and child sex abuse.

My new favorite hobby is watching “Inner Excellence” get a ton of excellent reviews after AJ Brown was spotted reading on the sidelines of a playoff game #innerexcellence #ajbrown #booklover
