I learned starfish populations are recovering from the weird virus that turned them into goo a few years back! https://www.livescience.com/61299-sea-stars-making-comeback.html
Quick breather from politics: Friends, tell me, what’s something super neat you learned for the first time this month?
Tryng to come up with a cheery tweet for today’s marches and somehow came up with Bon Jovi lyrics
“We have each other, and that’s a lot”
THIS. Even if you’re dark, you can still burn!

Andrea Phillips is a writer who has been a great writer and is not an individual and is not the only one that has ever met a person

Write your author bio using predictive text. Use your phone to type "[Your Name] is a [poet/novelist/writer/etc] who" and keep pressing the middle button until it makes a bio.

There’s a heat advisory during tomorrow’s protests, but friends, it’s the same temps as the tent cities they plan to keep CHILDREN in.
...And you can go home after. Stay loud.
Last chance to get in on the Serial Box summer sale, it’s all over once July starts! :) http://www.serialbox.com/redeem
You’ve never lost a war until you’ve stopped fighting it.
OH NO SLACK IS BROKEN I’m going to have to go back to chattering about touching up my hair color and what I’m making for dinner in PUBLIC or something
Confession: Sometimes, late at night when things seem bleak, I search Twitter for “Mueller” to find new threads of hope to grasp for
Just thought “hey Andrea, maybe you should unplug for the night, have a drink, read a book” and then I remembered the book I’m reading is Parable of the Sower
If things are getting to be too much, maybe take a breather with some steampunky-UF-paranormal romance? The first St. Croix book is only 99 cents right now https://www.amazon.com/Tarnished-Croix-Chronicles-Karina-Cooper-ebook/dp/B00A9V3HD2/
Friends, I’m tired and blue today, and a lot of you are there with me. Yeah, I wish I could hide in video games and K-drama and avoid all the unpleasantness.
But the stakes are too high to hope someone else can fix it. We all have to shine in this dark time as bright as we can.
If you’re not in a primary state, go check your voter registration today. You know, juuuuuuuuust in case.
It’s primary day in New York, Utah, Oklahoma, Maryland, and Colorado. Go make yourself count.

No war is lost until you decide to give up on fighting it.

You all need to vote in November. I don't care where you live. YOU HAVE TO VOTE.
This is as urgent as people keep telling you. YOU HAVE TO VOTE. We are on the brink of "no return." Vote while you still can, because you may not have a choice very soon.
VOTE, goddammit. VOTE.

Disappointing news from SCOTUS this morning, but remember, laws can be changed.
It only takes 25% of us to change everything. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-25-revolution-how-big-does-a-minority-have-to-be-to-reshape-society/
Remember, pals, the demand to be NICE is a tool society uses to keep mostly-women from advocating for themselves and others.
Nice is for suckers. Be brave instead.
You don’t need to be the Chosen One to save the world. And you don’t need to save the world alone — in fact, nobody can.
But YOU have to save the world. YOU.
Do what you can, from where you can, and no less than that. But that’s really all it takes, if it’s enough of us.
