So true! Never thought Canada/United States relations could get this bad. Never thought my country was the bad guy! But, here we are - the bad neighbor.

Streaming an execution is disgusting. I didn't watch when ISIS streamed a beheading, and I won't watch a USA firing squad. This is the next step in the revolting playbook of this corrupt regime. Donald Trump is a vile, putrid human being, and I don't even want to watch his execution. Who's next? Me?

Freedom of religion means there just might be people who don't agree with you occasionally.

It amazes me how many people vote against their own best interests without thinking. When I vote for social democrats, sure I pay higher taxes, but I get better hospitals, infrastructure, childcare, schools, and senior care. Republicans get richer billionaires. You are not going to be a billionaire.

So sorry to see this. She never got the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution passed. (It was fucking impossible to get a whole bunch of rich, powerful, white guys to agree that women are equal. Who knew?) She never stopped fighting though!

Please wake up, people. You don't need to keep giving tax breaks for the rich because you might get rich one day and want to keep money you don't have right now. You're more likely to get hit by lightning. Just sayin'.

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.

happy summer solstice to those who celebrate <3
A group of witches are holding hands and looking up at the sky while performing a summer solstice ritual. Pagans are fantastic because they worship nature, and considering that many religions copied them or based their silly rituals on Pagan practices, I think that's beautiful.

Also, since you're writing it, the book changes constantly and you have to keep checking on things like, "Did I change that character's name every place where it appears?" because you saw a shiny object and decided a different name was better. #writing #books #booksky #writingcommunity
Writing a book is just like reading a book except the book hates you.
