It's worldbuilding day! Which means I get to dive into climate and economic models, but also that I have to deal with the existential distress of encountering all the government science websites that have had data redacted or are no longer being updated under this administration.

I must admit, I'm a little bit concerned about the number of experts I know who think this is a serious threat.

I made a horrible decision last night and told chat that I’d do a 24-hr livestream if we raise $100k with these streams by the 19th. So if that’s an incentive to tune in… there you go.

Oh I'm so glad you enjoyed it! If you're up for leaving reviews and Amazon and Goodreads, that really helps independent authors. I am actually working on multiple tie-in novels to the "Hostess" story.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Well see the next logical step in this argument is to argue that no action Trump takes can be PROVEN to be a quid-pro-quo because anything he does could be viewed by someone as "part of his job to promote America's welfare."

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

My understanding is fluoride can reduce cognitive performance in children, but at much higher doses than what is used to prevent tooth decay and life-threatening problems in the US. Remember, the Department of HHS believes vaccines which save millions of children's lives every year are harmful.
