Finally posted again on #Medium after close to a year!

It's the first entry in my new experimental #blog publication (hence the self-referential chapter title).

I think I'm going to enjoy this new digital writing space!

The featured #painting is “Paisaje” by Henri Lebasque, 1915. So lovely!

Would it be too much to ask that only climate change deniers die of heat stroke? Or have they already died from Covid. #ClimateChange #Climate #ReadForFree

“''The crackdown on women,' Dias and Graham reported, 'is, on its face, about biblical interpretation.'"

And who do you think wrote the Bible? I can guarantee it wasn't women. #religion #ReadforFree

"Those last Trump positions — the restoration of white power, the rejection of a Palestinian homeland, the willingness to mobilize troops against peaceful demonstrators — show how deeply misguided those on the far left are as they protest Biden’s policies on Gaza. Their frustration with the president’s support for Israel is understandable. But in making Biden the enemy, including with chants of 'Genocide Joe,' the plans to trash the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and the proliferation of vows of the 'uncommitted' never to vote for Biden, they are in effect working to elect Trump. This isn’t principled protest; it’s nihilism." #Trump #Gaza #Protests #ReadForFree

@TAI @tristansnell

From this article, it sounds to me as though some in the DOJ wanted to follow standard investigative protocols as used in cases against organized crime--from the bottom up to try to find links to Trump and his inner circle, links that some felt were missing---while others DID want to start investigating from the top down. Some felt Investigations were also hindered by the fact that it took a while for key players in the DOJ to be confirmed after Biden became president. The DOJ sounds like a big machine, with lots of moving parts, not all of whom worked well together.

It's too early in the morning for me to do a thorough summary of all the ins and outs given in the Washington Post report. Let's just say " the wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine," whether we like it or not. #ReadForFree

The U.S. was never intended to be an authoritarian theocracy. Attempts to legislate and impose evangelical "Christian" beliefs as national policy are unconstitutional. #GOP #GOPHypocrisy #1stAmendment #SeparationOfChurchAndState

@wdlindsy

Attempting to legislate and impose evangelical "Christians'" religious beliefs on the rest of us is unconstitutional. If only today's GOP truly believed what our Founders did, the U.S. would be in much better shape. The Founders never intended for the U.S. to be an authoritarian theocracy.

In honor of #Caturday, I'm recommending Joelle Marlin's article "The World's Least Deadly Big Cats" on @medium!

It's a fascinating breakdown that examines which big cat species have the fewest recorded cases of hurting humans. (Don't even think about getting one as a pet, though!)

"I Feel Like A Fairy Godmother on Medium, and Here's Why" — my latest on @medium!

As someone who gets overwhelmed by all of the #subscription and #tip platforms, I'm a huge advocate of the #Medium membership.

(Another reason I #love Medium: I get to choose my own featured images, like "The Fairy Queen" by Sophie Anderson!)

"Why Are Writers Expected To Do So Much Self-Promotion?" by @janiceharayda is an article on #Medium that has really stuck with me.

If you're a #writer who has issues with the fact that #publishers care about your social media following, check this one out!

My latest on @medium, just in time for #FairyTaleTuesday!

I thought "What's the difference between a #folktale and a #fairytale?" would be a relatively simple article to write, but there's not as much consensus on this as you'd think!

The top result on #Google says that folktales are oral stories, and fairy tales are written... yeah, not quite! 😉

No one is above the law, not even TFG, who wasn't even president when he stole classified documents from the U.S. But Trump and his goons like Josh Hawley would have us believe that the U.S. Constitution says that Trump IS above the law. #Trump #Humor #ReadForFree
