@7eandra @DonaldHines Agreed. It’s lonely. I want to be in throngs, get high and make love with strangers, & dance with a million people. I want that. This is lonely, and our stupid country just wasted months doing nothing. Those who strictly isolate feel like we’re falling off the edge of the world.

The reason someone like Pence gets a book deal is bc the publisher is *guaranteed* bulk sales to groups who distribute them like matchbooks at a wedding. No one reads the books; they are not meant to be read. It’s like a brick factory with a press release.
