Never underestimate the power of being annoying
live in a red district and want to inconvenience tyranny?
call your rep DAILY with an update on the local price of eggs and a demand to know why the Republican Party is focusing on nonsense issues only weirdos care about instead of keeping their promise to lower the cost of household staples

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

Many animal shelters are overwhelmed from people dropping off beloved pets they can't take with them as they flee. Please consider donating and fostering. Pasadena Humane is one such org. Contact your local animal orgs to see if they need help.

Best #writing advice I seldom hear mentioned:
For your first draft, run a to-do list. The instant you encounter a missing idea, a problem, a word you think you're using too often, add it to the list and KEEP WRITING.
To-do lists protect your first draft energy!
