My hot take: betraying our allies is a bad move.
When good people come together, no voice is too small, and no problem is too large.
Don't forget to 💙 each other.

Trump backed down to China of tariffs. I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you. Positively blown away.

Good morning, Bluesky. Today is another writing day. I'm on draft two of my latest novel, and I feel the ending approaching. Disassociating from current events to focus on creativity has done wonders for my mental health.
Have a lovely day!

Happy Earth Day! And happy release day for fans of Andor!
I'm striving to spend less time on news and politics and more time writing and reading. I always feel so much better putting my head to my pillow after a day of creative progress.
Find your happy place, and dig in deep 😊

Hegseth is dead man walking. Musk's influence is dropping faster than Tesla's stock price. But things won't get better even when these disasterous men are gone.
Trump is an anchor pulling America's greatness to dangerous, dark depths.
We can not slow down. Resistance is more important than ever.

Don't neglect yourself. Engage in hobbies, go for a walk, or send a message to an old friend. Self-love is crucial to a balanced life.

(1) Wheel s3e7 was fun in many ways. The battle as written would require LotR film level budget, so it was shallow in that way, but still told the story.
Some choices, I don’t know. Emotional, yet hard to swallow for a reader. But I accept a new turning of the wheel concept.

Trump suggested a 90-day tariff pause on many countries, sending markets into the stratosphere.
He is forced to punt on "Liberation Day," but a victory lap will naturally ensue.
He doubled down on China, increasing duties to 125%, citing "lack of respect."
And so continues our economic whiplash.

Politically, this will be interesting. If Trump scores deals with major trading partners, markets will soar. One false tweet sent indexes (momentarily) to the moon.
After all, money made is loss forgiven.
