AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

I fuckin love LA so much. I know a lot of people like to hate on the city, but I don’t give a shit?LA rules. At its core, Los Angeles is a proud blue-collar city with people from all walks of life. Then the creative black sheep from every family comes here to create together.
Friends took food to their local fire station and were told the move is to donate to the Red Cross. Lots of people lost everything but not everyone will be able to rebuild. www.redcross.org/donate/donat...

Whatever you are hearing about the fires here in LA, they are worse.
May delete this later, but here goes: I'm up for sabbatical in 2027. That's when I hope to launch a writer's retreat and residence in Detroit. Focused primarily (not exclusively) on Black children's authors & illustrators. Do I have the money? Or a building? No, not yet! But I do have 🙏🏿 & A Plan!
May I suggest that you watch "My Neighbour Totoro"? It will help.
But can you even write about LA if you haven't been on a date that was a surprise trip to the Celebrity Center?
