A small army is racing against time and Trump to preserve U.S. history
Like 'monks' in the Middle Ages, volunteers are working to preserve cultural treasures they fear are under threat from President Trump’s war against 'woke.'

Decided to test myself while my TV dinner was warming in the microwave: could I write a story before the bell dinged? Had to dictate it into my phone while standing there, but: yes. Maybe 300 words? 350? No title yet, but I bet there’s one in there. Fun little piece.

All of Anna's podcasts are great, but this one really is a must-listen...
Interview with Eleanor Johnson is LIVE! This episode feels like a big one, a heavy one. Scream With Me gives you lots to think about, lots to feel. We talk about this, how it feels to see the ERA fail to pass, how it feels to see our plight play out on screen, and more (1/3 🧵).

All writing advice is an author going, “Hey, this worked for me, so I’m sharing it in case it works for you.” That’s cool. That could be useful to someone. On the other hand, advice presented as a “rule” or as something you “must” do is stuff I think you can ignore.
