I'm not in the reality business—I'm afraid that market's already catastrophically oversaturated.
Reality requires no imagination—it arrives uninvited each morning. Reality is self-documenting, self-perpetuating, unavoidable.
We aren't ignorant of #reality; we're just exhausted by it.

Texas getting its gerrymander blocked while California and Virginia eliminate 8-9 Republican seats would be a stupendous, comical outcome.
"But when the Trump Administration reframed its request as a demand to redistrict congressional seats based on their racial makeup, Texas lawmakers immediately jumped on board."

When politicians get to choose their voters instead of the other way around, it silences our voices and keeps true representation out of reach.
It’s time to end this unfair practice and fight for fair districts where every vote truly counts.

Romance novels are more than love stories, they’re political too. They show us who gets to be seen, who gets a happy ending, and whose voices matter. This week on Okay, But Why, we’re talking love, power, and politics between the pages.
Okay, But Why Are Romance Novels Political?
When people think of romance novels, the first thing that comes to mind is shirtless Dukes with windswept hair on the covers of mass-market paperbacks. The damsel in distress main character who is waiting for a love interest to come and save her from the clutches of evil. They’re a thing for girls. It isn’t ‘real’ reading, because they are stories typically written by women, for women, and starring women. But what if we told you that romance books, even the most quote-unquote “raunchy” of the genre, are deeply political? Who gets to be the hero or the heroine matters. Romance, as a genre, has seen major shifts in recent years, evolving from stories focused on white, heterosexual protagonists to a more diverse range of characters, lives, and themes. LGBTQ+ characters and relationships have entire shelves dedicated to them in bookstores. Black female characters now receive the same fairytale endings...
