Covid-19, prepping
One of the reasons I find prepping valuable in a slow-burn disaster like the one we find ourselves in now, is that it helps flatten the curve for consumption of vital resources
If you already have a little bit of extra hand sanitizer at home, a little extra food, some bleach, soap, and toilet paper, then you don’t have to run out and get these things in an emergency. This helps free up those resources for people who don’t have the luxury of putting together a little stockpile
Also, your stockpile can help people around you in need. One of my neighbors is pretty much hand to mouth, I’m not gonna lecture him on preparedness. I am going to give him food and soap if he needs it
The point of prepping is to help
The point of survivalism is to help

Racism in literature communities
So in case you're not up to speed as to what Happened at the Romance Writers of America.
Courtney Milan, a Chinese American author known for being one on Twitter pointed out that a book, Somewhere Lies the Moon by Kathryn Lynn Davis, was a racist mess, with relevant passages. Milan is also the chair of the RWA's ethics committee.

One of the least graceful humans possible!
Bored housewife, mostly. Used to do several different things that I mostly don't do now. Intentionally clear about being intentionally vague.
I will probably post tons of stuff (follower-only) on MH things or personal issues or just married life stuff, but really long things will probably be CW'd because I don't want to barge my pain into your brain.
I wanted to be so many things.
I know I likely won't achieve them.
But I will try anyway.
