You don't need to download that app -- I never did! I avoid apps in general. You can read my articles without the app; they're free.

As for heroes...

"I don’t like the idea of heroes, not only because they betray you, but because they bore you. But I seek consolation same as anyone, and I find some in this kindred spirit, who rejected the world in favor of humanity."

Thanks! I don't feel silenced since my books are bestsellers, but people who *just* figured out this information really should not be covering Trump. All of the evidence was, as the book says, Hiding in Plain Sight.

There's been some uncertainty because of the tariffs but try Left Bank -- they shipped to Canada before this year and hopefully still do www.left-bank.com/sarah-kendzi...

Which is why it would be nice to know who is an actual expert in Venezuela vs the "experts" that popped up yesterday. I'd like to hear from people with deep knowledge of regional history, key players, agendas etc. Especially with the dearth of even basic reliable news on simply what's happening.

Are you thinking of fictional representations or real people? There are a lot of both — “9 to 5” (Dolly movie and story that inspired it), Roseanne, Erin Brockovich, “Working Girl”, etc. There was a switch in the 21st century from this type of storytelling though. “Hunger Games” the big exception…

It is so maddening that BlueSky still blocks all your posts from me, Mollie :( This is the first one I've seen since the last time I checked you manually (since otherwise I can't see them at all). As if things weren't awful enough, they split up online friends who empathize with each other's views!
