I've been researching IUI, IVF, and egg freezing for the past 3 weeks so I can add authenticity to my MS instead of actually writing.

I only need it for a few chapters but I hope the hard work shines through in the end.

I may be too thorough, but I think it's worth it.

I'm a US Citizen living in Germany, and I'm alarmed at what is happening right now in the US. This video from @aoc.bsky.social is a great breakdown. She gives specific actions we can all take.

Her message gave me hope. In essence - we outnumber them and we will win!

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.
