because, like, what are the Earthside folks gonna do about it? But that means there are really EIGHTEEN names total. Well, the readers donβt need to know them allβ¦right?
Me, earlier today: why there hell did I start writing this sci-fi SHORT STORY with NINE ships in it? They are generation ships, so the inhabitants basically renamed them all as soon as they were outside the VanAllen belt
Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin OβLeary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, βObama: Dems need to avoid scolding and βvirtue-signaling.ββ The post quotes OβLeary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.
I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
Of course they did. βWonβt someone think of the wealthy business owners???β
I didnβt know Oregon was one of only 3 states so closely tied to federal tax income!

This is the only sane approach
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβbecause the person felt she did didnβt deserve the recognition.

And the same for folks who βcanβt writeβ β your own words and thoughts are better than a thousand pages of grammatically perfect, auto-generated drivel.

"If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."

between the bomb and the family.
