LOLLLLLL. So I got a likely scam email inquiring about the film rights to Daron's Guitar Chronicles. The "tell" was that they listed the title this way: "Reaching out from The Literary Bureau regarding Daron's Guitar Chronicles (Series #1)Daron's Guitar Chronicles, Vol. 1."

Hi Cecilia,

Reaching out from The Literary Bureau regarding Daron's Guitar Chronicles (Series #1)Daron's Guitar Chronicles, Vol. 1. Are media adaptation rights currently open for this book?

Keith sues people like the folks defrauding Somali families for places to live, or mega landlords whose places are slums because they want to squeeze every dollar out of tenants. He sues employers committing wage theft and companies engaged in illegal price fixing. It’s ALL affordability.

Every time we hear "The homeless people didn't use the resources we offered," the next questions should be "What specific resources did you offer? Were they actually meant to be helpful to people you claim to want to help? Did you offer actual shelter? Did it accommodate couples? Pets? Wet or dry?"

Yeah, cis kids can need gender-affirming care, and often have an easier time getting it than trans kids do, since what they need aligns better with what society tells their parents is reasonable. When I was nine, my breasts grew in so fast it tore the skin. I still have the scars, decades later.

Live your life with lots of egrets, not lots of regrets. #Deep #Photography

A photo of the bare branches of trees sticking up out of a pond of water. Among the branches are numerous (12) white egrets. Some are looking out while others are cleaning themselves. The birds are reflected in the water. Behind the pond are green trees and grasses illuminated in a warm tone from the setting Sun.
