I devoured this novella last night (pun intended)! The feelings that the main character struggles with are devastating and (at least to me) very familiar. Highly recommend this quick and impactful read!

We wrote this 18 damn years ago.

A script from episode 102 of Leverage with the dialogue for defense contractor Dufort:”You know the great thing about Congressmen? Fifty, a hundred grand well spent will get one elected.Once they’re in, they have an incumbency rate of over ninety-five percent. You get, on the average, eighteen to twenty years of use out of one. (beat) In these uncertain times, buying a United States Congressman is one of the best investments a corporation can make.”

This is one for the dudes (ladies tend to be much more sensible about this). Take care of your skin. No, I mean *SERIOUSLY*. Your skin not only shows your age but if you're like me, it will attempt to kill you at various points in your life. Sunscreen, good evening facial cleanse, moisturizer, DONE.

anyone who is concerned about fairness in sports should start with a free lunch program, then breakfast and dinner + summer meals for every kid in the country (healthy, tasty, accessible) after tackling that, you'll need to provide transportation to and from practice and events
