sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.
If you want to be a strong writer, read and support strong writing! Like Momma said, “You are what you eat.”
You made it, you own it
You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.
I could swear this is a democratic republic. I must be nuts because Tuberville, a single person, has stopped this country from functioning. How is this possible? Who were the idiots that came up with this very undemocratic idea? Why do we allow this sheer stupidity to continue?
It was one of the mistakes that the Founding Fathers made (if in fact this is their idea.) The other mistake is the makeup of the Electoral College and the assignment of two U.S. Senators per state. Those eighteenth century inhabitants of thirteen colonies along our eastern seaboard could not imagine what the U.S. would become. As it stands right now, California has two U.S. Senators with a population of 40 million, equal to that of sixteen other states in the Midwest, with thirty-two Senators. That imbalance, along with the Filibuster, could be the cause for the demise of the Union.
