    We should all stand with women in supporting their right for medical care. The best way to do that is to vote Democrat in coming elections. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/12/12/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-continued-denials-of-abortion-care/

    This week on my podcast I compare &amp;amp; contrast writing &amp;amp; storytelling. I also discuss how point-of-view violations are anathema to good storytelling. https://lexstarwalker.com/lol/089 #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AmWritingSciFi

    @grammargirl I think oftentimes when people get into grammar arguments, they don&amp;#39;t realize there&amp;#39;s more than one style guide that different people follow.

    @jjdavis @Jgmeadows @grammargirl Yeah Strunk &amp;amp; White aligns with the CMOS.

    @grammargirl I think part of some people&amp;#39;s confusion lies in the fact that US journalists online and in print use AP, while novelists, etc. use CMOS. So you&amp;#39;re seeing both as a reader, and that can be confusing when you don&amp;#39;t know the different groups are using different style guides. And then there are often mistakes in online news articles which adds to the confusion.

    @amydiehl I didn&amp;#39;t know much about him until now, but he seems like an awesome, intelligent, friendly, standup guy who&amp;#39;s willing to fight for other people and what he believes in (which isn&amp;#39;t crazy conspiracies). The polar opposite of the MAGA morons.

    The idea that venting reduces anger is a myth with no scientific validity. It tends to make anger worse, as do high intensity workouts, running, etc. Instead, the key lies in reducing physical arousal. https://www.sciencealert.com/venting-doesnt-reduce-anger-but-something-else-does-study-says #health #anger #mindulness #science

    Trump &amp;amp; Musk continue to be horrible human beings. They&amp;#39;re also breaking the law.
