Last night's discussion with newly divorced friend, two author friends, and editor in one chat encompassed a range of Hilarity from MOON JOY, to what a beta reader does vs ARC, to past vs passed, to what our favorite spicy microtrope was and if we'd love it in IRL.

That last one? Yes.

All while geeking out over Artemis...the real reason for the chat.

Still have to think when I use past vs passed so I pretend I'm either passing coffee, or if it's in the past.

Trump wants Iran to attack us on U.S. soul and kill many of us because he thinks the country would then unite behind him against Iran.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...

"How will you pay for it?"

The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...

"How much do you need?"

It doesn't have to be this way.
