I ran straight to the comments.
They love to ask folks to suffer while never demanding businesses do even the smallest thing to conserve.
Folks maybe divided politically, and therefore divided on the solution.
But their all united in telling ERCOT to f$ck off
TXANS Update—January 15, 2024: ERCOT has issued a Conservation Appeal for today, Jan. 15, from 6 – 10 a.m. CT due to continued freezing temperatures, record-breaking demand, and unseasonably low wind. We ask that Texas businesses and residents conserve electricity use, if safe to do so. You can monitor grid conditions on https://t.co/4lhispubCP.

@FarrahRochon As someone who drinks high proof booze, you'll be alright. Look up some rum recipes, some even call for higher proof rum. As suggested tiki recipes, which are primarily rum based.
Epcot is great. Epcot with some of your fave writer friends is spectacular!
Enjoying Food & Wine and later, Boyz II Men with @DrenzPen, @SharinaWrites, @romancekdk, @Jamie_Wesley, @KwanaWrites and @DebbMelloWrites.
My one wish: That's black video editor gets EVERY freaking video and angle and turns it into one black avengers movie...um, I mean one long clip. #MontgomeryAlabama#Alabamaboatbrawl#AlabamaBrawl
@authorMsBev I would be right there with them. The way I ran this back to dance to the ice cream truck song... Let that ice cream truck come through, I'm acting a fool with my one good knee🤣
@ellisromance Notice its the folks who ordered all the food and drinks are like we gotta split the bill. I'd quietly get my bill separate and pay. And depending on the bday girls bill, I'd just pick it up and call it a day. Or we can split the bday girls bill, not everyone's bill.
@piperhuguley She complained about BIPOC folks and got a free review of her query, synopsis, and first few chapters. Assessment - your book is trash burn it!
❄️will not put in the work, not have talent, not do research... and when they dont get success. They blame us.
I'm so tired of it.
"This is probably not your debut novel. This manuscript is either source material for a new story, not just heavily revised but completely re-envisioned—or it’s a practice book. Don’t shop this to small presses. Don’t self-publish."
Trash book, but guess who gets blamed.

Today on Jane Friedman's blog a white writer wrote in complaining of no agent interest despite their MS having had editors. They suggest it's due to agents mainly wanting BIPOC writers/stories. The review of the query materials revealed *fundamental* flaws, like a too-long 1/2
@Mr_Hall06 Eventhough I don't delay. I think folks who can afford to bury quickly still take time to give family members an opportunity to get there which requires the family gathering funds for travel
