Cover of my newest book. It is black, with white lettering, which reads, Midnight Cookies, short stories, Carla Reid. There is a pencil sketch of a part kitchen, with a clock on the wall, the hands are pointing to almost midnight. There is a cookie jar sitting on top of a counter. Out of the window, you can see a tree and the moon.

I am certain there have been anti-fascists ever since fascism was a thing. She needs to stop with the lies or gain some much-needed knowledge.

I try to never repost without reading the whole linked article and any pictures I check. Nothing is sure these days and though everyone can make an error it helps to stop the spread of mis or disinformation to do a quick check or not repost till sure.

My wife texted me a selfie in a new dress and asked “Does this make me look fat?”

I texted back “Noo!” But my phone auto corrected it to “Moo!”
