FYI, destabilizing our national food supply and dismantling the USDA was outlined in Project 2025. I have never been angrier at a group of people who didn't do the reading.
This new trend where scammers send AI emails pretending to be interviewers from LARB or editors from small presses while using suspicious email addresses like partyboy69@hotmail makes me really sad, as someone with an overactive bullshit detector. It's hard enough out there for writers, geez.
