I didn't hit my goal of writing every day. But it's more than I've written creatively in a long time, and I grew as a writer. It's not a total win, but it's far from a loss!!! 💛💛💛

Duolingo calling me out for slacking at NaNoWriMo.
"I like talking about writing" indeed.
Now it's time to actually do it.

I believe that most of the world's pain and suffering is caused by misusing the gifts God gives us.
For, as soon as the spirit of God has finished revealing some sacred truth to a man, Lucifer comes to teach him how to turn that knowledge into a weapon against his fellowman.

"We're doing *something* right."

Food for thought: how extreme would the ratio (of people in genuine need to fraudsters) have to be, to change your position on SNAP?
(Note that most Republicans don't actually support ending SNAP, and there are 15 Republican Senators supporting Hawley's proposal to fund it during this shutdown.)

Um, Day 3 #AltNaNo update: 8 words before I fell asleep at the computer.
I mean technically within my commitment to write every day and see if I naturally write more over time
But maybe writing at 10pm is a bit much for my old brain 🤣

Sometimes I suspect that implicit-bias racism and explicit-deliberate racism sometimes require opposite solutions, and that racists-by-choice subconsciously know this and so hide behind racists-by-default for protection.
But then I think that human connection is an excellent remedy for either.

Today in my little conservative town
Somebody found a vaguely Hispanic-looking person's REAL ID at a Taco Bell, posted about it on social media, and returned it to its owner.
I didn't even see any racist jokes.
It gives me hope.
