Pumpkins big as houses. Too big to harvest, so we hacked off pieces with axes, froze it for soup for winter. The rest we left rotting in the fields. Until the bright crisp day where they broke open from the inside. And the pumpkin men emerged with axes of their own. #horrorwriterschat

Sometimes there's a glitch and the posts don't appear under the hashtag (although maybe later?). Did the time and date move from Wednesdays early?

Since it’s banned book week, I’m going to post one banned book a day that I have actually read. I should’ve started yesterday, but I wasn’t thinking. So we’re kicking off with this an absolute classic and very pertinent right now.

This, in my opinion, is not only a classic, but a must read.

The vast majority of creatives are struggling. Writers are leaving LA in droves. Directors are driving Uber when they aren't lucky enough to get gigs directing dubs or subs for foreign films. Recognizable actors are finding jobs they won't be recognized in. The whole industry is shitty right now.

They can pass anti-corruption legislation with consequences. Voter's right's legislation. Collect evidence. Not compromise on basic rights. Communicate often and clearly about what they're doing and why. What they can't do and why. There are things they can do.

I will support any Democrat willing to take over leadership in the Senate and House who will 100% follow the leadership instruction attached here. No more playing nice with Republican Nazi Party. Time to hold them accountable for their crimes and allowing trump to get away with his criminal acts.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
