How’s that Board of Peace working out?

Yes, it was 60°. But don’t be fooled, my little flower buds. You’re in Michigan. It will snow again. Soon.

Easy question—yes, I think they’re planning to steal the midterms. Here’s the open-ended question: How?

All the more powerful because the Cato Institute leans right/libertarian.

Read it, loved it.

Somalis "turned out to be higher IQ than we thought."

Nazi/eugenic dogwhistles in Trump's incoherent rant in Davos:
"We have to cherish out brilliant people since there's not that many of them."
We must "rescue our culture," referred to as "the pinnacle of human achievement."
Somalis "turned out to be higher IQ than we thought."

Thank you!

Wow. $250. That’ll cover college.

Chaos in the world calls for a bit of calm— today, in the form of one of my landscape paintings.

@janedunnauthor.bsky.social , just wanted to let you know someone is impersonating you and is aiming to scam authors with marketing services. I will be reporting the account. As part of the writing community, I try to expose these scams.

Cover of the novel The Shape of Change showing a teenage boy and girl in a dream state against a colorful background.

I’ve been working full-time on it for 3 years, although the initial idea was born 30 years ago. Since then, I worked on the novel on the side while I built a career in education and wrote an academic book.
How long have you been a writer?
