I ran straight to the comments.
They love to ask folks to suffer while never demanding businesses do even the smallest thing to conserve.
Folks maybe divided politically, and therefore divided on the solution.
But their all united in telling ERCOT to f$ck off
TXANS Update—January 15, 2024: ERCOT has issued a Conservation Appeal for today, Jan. 15, from 6 – 10 a.m. CT due to continued freezing temperatures, record-breaking demand, and unseasonably low wind. We ask that Texas businesses and residents conserve electricity use, if safe to do so. You can monitor grid conditions on ercot.com. Sign up for #TXANS notifications: bit.ly/3Hlr2gq

My one wish: That's black video editor gets EVERY freaking video and angle and turns it into one black avengers movie...um, I mean one long clip. #MontgomeryAlabama #Alabamaboatbrawl #AlabamaBrawl

"This is probably not your debut novel. This manuscript is either source material for a new story, not just heavily revised but completely re-envisioned—or it’s a practice book. Don’t shop this to small presses. Don’t self-publish."
Trash book, but guess who gets blamed.

Today on Jane Friedman's blog a white writer wrote in complaining of no agent interest despite their MS having had editors. They suggest it's due to agents mainly wanting BIPOC writers/stories. The review of the query materials revealed *fundamental* flaws, like a too-long 1/2

Read the thread, when I tell you I'm so damn glad I went to majority black schools from K-12 (AND from 5-12 I went to magnet schools). I wish I would have gone to an HBCU.
Meritocracy isn't a thing. White supremacy is...
This reminds me of those high schools where as soon as the valedictorian is POC or woman, they break with tradition and decide to have co-valedictorians for the first time in the school’s history. Please don’t do this.

I want to read Parable of the Sower. But I'm afraid our reality is too close to it already to enjoy it as a good sci-fi "fiction" read.

Okay, so had a Bougie Auntie day at the farmers market Saturday.
Picked up a small piece of lions mane. Some went into some mushroom rice I made earlier.
But decided to blacken (on purpose) the rest.
