Did progressives promote a healthy definition or example of masculinity? I dont recall that happening even now.

I see to recall the early 2000s attitude toward boys was "who cares? They're pampered enough."

If only the United States had programs to support and strengthen the democratic elements in Iran that Trump now wants to rise up and overthrow the regime. Wait, we doβ€”or at least we did, until Trump and DOGE gutted them last year.

I’ve talked before about books that felt like they were written so the most annoying people on twitter didn’t get mad at them and I’m wondering if this is part of that phenomenon.

I've written really sh!tty relationships. Can't get a reviewer to understand they are sh!tty on purpose.

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

A reviewer finds my story about a kaiju's parasites eating a pair of naive teen lovers to be rather bleak.
