Apparently a constitutional crisis is like the horizon - always just out ahead, “near,” “looming,” a glittering mirage we can always “approach” but never reach, no matter how many court orders the president brazenly defies.

The closest is this, which is still wildly off base. Presumably the reporter is capable of reading the court order themselves, using their eyes and ears to figure out whether or not the admin complied, and saying so. Instead, we get stenography of the administration going "Nuh uh" and call it news.

Discovered this book from the 80s at my in-laws’ house. It’s got this section about the “new rules of marriage,” aka women having careers & like, rights, & how all the changes gave the poor triggered executive men fears of abandonment.

Love to see society having the exact same convo 40 yrs later 🙃

As if there's not already enough wrong in the world, now Big Brownie is trying to put one over on us. They're cutting ounces from the mixes & changing recipes, and we're all supposed to just pretend not to notice. Well, we noticed!

(Pls someone rec a good brownie mix, fudgy but not too sweet. 🙏)

Hi new followers! This seems like a good time to introduce myself, so here goes:

I'm Ashton, and I write historical fiction that unearths overlooked historical Black communities and puts brave, complicated women at the center. My first novel, ALL WE WERE PROMISED, came out in April. Next one TBD!
