My British friend asked how we could allow American judges to be politically appointed. I told him: we thought we could weed out a few bad apples, but we had no plan on what to do if Supreme Court justices were morally corrupt. What do you do? #politics

I just want every American to know #Trump picked a running mate who believes democracy has failed and supports the return of monarchy (it’s right on @JDVance1’s Wikipedia). His hero is the man who coined #redpill. You dont choose JD Vance unless you’re planning a king. #politics

Caring about politics is not about fear. It’s about the good. I’m dying, but can’t ignore what may happen when I’m gone. Christians have a Bible verse: you know a tree by its fruit - good fruit, good tree. What does a man produce? Division and hatred, or peace and hope? #politics

The kind of democracy #JDVanceVP and #Trump2024 want to turn America into. Glad I could help. (Please, read the Wikipedia on JD Vance if you don’t believe me.)

Sorry if you followed me for writing and you’re finding more #politics tweets. The problem is, if you’re writing about dying, fearlessness, and the #good , you can’t untwine that from ethics. I live between the #USA and #uk politically, and important events are happening in both.

I get it. I know I’m fat, ugly, dying - SO unattractive - and you need ad dollars. But this is wrong. The woman I was trying to use X to support is getting round 4 of chemo and this is the ad you “feed” her. It’s nothing, but it’s everything. X Elon Musk #WritingCommunity #good

I keep seeing messages from people in the writing community worried there’s no engagement, but then they get hundreds of replies. But they may be right because I have no engagement, ha. I’m so damn new. Please, if you see this, say hi! #amwriting #WritingCommunity #WritingAdvice

My first and last political “discussion” on X. I’m realizing that I’m just not objective enough and the divide runs much too deeply. More importantly, my goal before dying is the OPPOSITE of making people angry. I’m saddened by the growing divide I see. #Trump2024 #Biden2024

Well, I made it all of one day on #politics Twitter/X. I want to do good before dying, and one discussion was enough to convince me that I can’t in that arena. I’m here because I #amwriting so that’s what I’m sticking with. #WritingCommunity #ThursdayThoughts #GoodBadUgly

I’ve asked a couple of the most thoughtful, intelligent people I know to be beta readers. Is that it? Are the beta reader police going to show up and say I did it wrong? 😬 Is this ok?!? #writing #WritingCommunity #ImposterSyndrome #amwriting

Did the Jay-Z and Kanye West song which I will just call “Brothers in Paris” foretell Snoop Dogg ‘s role in the Olympics? I say yes. #OlympicGamesParis2024 #OlympicGames #Paris2024

Nothing will recruit people to your cause more than a good ol’ fashioned book burning. Desperately sad. #Riot #UKRiots #books

I’m just saying… Catherine, Princess of Wales, is on sick leave? No new Banksy pieces. Now she’s appeared publicly, so has a new Banksy. Coincidence? 😂 #uk #banksy #royalty theguardian.com/artanddesign/a…

The comments on this post were tough to read. I’m terminal, too. Michael, you’re not dying of lack-of-God-itis. You’re dying of pancreatic cancer. Your faith is your own. Please share whatever you need to share. And know you are important, and you are loved.

In a quiet little corner of Edinburgh, a very large tea shakeup is happening. Twinings UK has reigned supreme for two years in our flat but Yorkshire Tea and their Taylor’s of Harrogate won a Ceylon-off last night. Tonight… the Assam-off. Other recommendations, UK #writers ?

Dude, evridelivery, when you constantly throw the delivery in the middle of the stairs, halfway up to the flat, like you couldn’t be f*cked… a “rebrand” didn’t help. #stillhermes #stillterrible

Really entering that Gilead era. I look shit in hats.

I don’t know how to: write a book, live, or die. And yet, Life is forcing me to do the last two in a hurry and I’m forcing myself to do the first. Please, PLEASE, any advice. WHY IS THIS SO HARD. #books #writing #WritingCommmunity #writerslife #writersdeath

WHEN BREATH BECOMES AIR x CATCH 22 A memoir of the author’s journey incl.: receiving her terminal diagnosis, divorce, experimenting with psychedelics, emigrating, & finding a true home. Proves reality is more satirical than any fiction and dying is hilarious. #P2Pit #amquerying

Yes, I really meant to describe my book as WHEN BREATH BECOMES AIR x CATCH-22. Not typos. Just a dreamer who is dying and has already had two brain bleeds. #P2Pit #amquerying
