"Evers took language that originally applied the $325 increase for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years and vetoed the “20” and the hyphen to make the end date 2425, more than four centuries from now."

As it gets increasingly harder and harder for us writer-types to reach new audiences, much less our existing audiences, I remind you that if you've read a book of ours (like, for me, BLACK RIVER ORCHARD) and liked it, it'd be swell if you left a review somewhere. That way we don't die in the abyss!

Hi, I’m a climate scientist.
My greatest hits include, “No it’s not a natural cycle,” “We’re the ones who told you it’s been warmer before” and “Even if it’s on YouTube it doesn’t mean it’s true.”
I also cover the Christiana Figueres classic, “We’re only as doomed as we believe ourselves to be.”

when i first came out, a cis woman told me i couldn’t say i was a woman because “i hadn’t earned it yet.”
when i asked what she meant by that, she said i could only claim femininity once i experienced misogyny.
she was *extremely* unhappy when i said “oh. well i just did, so thanks i guess.”

In which I take a view of my whole indie-publishing process and I'm really sorry that this post got so long. Apparently, there's a lot to talk about.
Please note that I wrote this instead of working on my novel this morning.
