EXCLUSIVE: @AOC calls for a congressional investigation into the impact of data centers.

We took her to meet residents in a Trump +50 county in Georgia whose well water was polluted by Meta’s massive data center.

“That absolutely merits...national congressional investigation."

Is it just me, or has something happened to the time and space continuum to shorten every hour of every day this week? I don’t know what’s happening to my time!

Writing novels is wild, because one minute you’re like “this is GOLD”, and then a beta reader points out one little thing and you’re like “What was I thinking with this pile of garbage??”

@RichSaarWriter This looks awesome! I'm searching for comps and reading The Dream Hotel - it has similar themes if you wanted to comp it as a recent pub!

[Hannah Bayne @hannahbbayne]

@RichSaarWriter Thanks @RichSaarWriter ! I wrote the book I wanted to read - and hoping some agents out there feel the same!

[Hannah Bayne @hannahbbayne]

@brantleywrites Thank you! I need this on the shelves - I want to talk to readers about it! 🥰

[Hannah Bayne @hannahbbayne]

@lesparrybooks Also by your tag lines. It looks like we’re both interested in empathy! ❤️
