Blogger Exclusive: The Power of the Micro

Image
Opinion! A local run-off election that broke 692 – 529.   That means a total of 1,221 people casting a vote with over 6,000 eligible registered voters. The low turnout is another predictable story, built into the calculation of all sides.   In this case, the winner, with 692 votes, is now in the position to knock over the entire game board of the opposition with the added opportunity of possibly elevating the agenda of his constituents in the future. All because of a difference of 163 votes. There’s power in the Micro, meaning, while worldwide fame is not possible, developing a small constituency or audience is. Small number of supporters. Small audiences. Small wins. They are possible. Know their power. Because your enemies can outclass you in this regard, before you know it, making small, insidious wins across the country on school boards and local governments.

Pretty Things – Janelle Brown

Image
 *Spoilers Sometimes, when you read a lot of stylish, women’s page-turner thrillers, or fiction in general, you wonder, how did this author get a book deal?   In Janelle Brown’s Pretty Things, the settings and the characters are solid. The description of an art history major grift and influencer culture, respectively, is, as intended, both sad and hilarious. She hits her marks including, admirably, the broken US Healthcare system. If there’s a real culprit, it’s the modern affliction of a lack of editing.   If this book were workshopped, she would have been told to cut much of the background of the two main characters, who are headed on a manufactured collision course:   Nina, the grifter, calculating in the shadow of privilege, and Vanessa, the suffering Old Money Airhead Insta Heiress. Much of the beginning of this book would be considered background writing. Fortunately, the background of the characters is interesting. The dangerous Venn diagram of who Nina is, with her boyfri
