If other people's children are fair targets in war, then so are yours.

Nah. I've given up support for people I liked a lot more for far less than what he did. It sucks that he wasn't what we thought he was, but that's on him.

Everyone who loved Firefly and hasn't seen Killjoys should, BTW.

Please repost if any of your followers might be able to connect me with a smallish, non-official dog rescue type group in the Los Angeles area. Los Angeles proper, the actual city. Looking for folks who might be willing to approach a family with neglected dogs and negotiate purchase/rehoming/etc.

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. β™₯️

We said "more low stakes fantasy!" and publishing gave us conflict-free cozies. But what *I* personally meant was, instead of saving THE WORLD from A GREAT EVIL, the character maybe saves their forest or their lil tavern or whatever. The idea that low stakes = no stakes is such a weird development

every single person in multiple cities who heard whistles & went running TOWARD danger with cameras to make sure there was just an unrelenting stream of actual evidence of what ICE was doing???

I can not say thank you enough. Seriously. Thousands of anonymous heroes who changed political reality.

Yep. That was where I stopped reading for a long time, because I could feel the difference, and it hurt.

I have been torn on these buttons, because on one hand, I would love to have Felix be able to talk to us, but on the other hand, Felix has absolutely no trouble getting his messages across right now as it is. This dog can herd you just by standing there looking alert when he decides it's bedtime.

Better Off Ted warned us about our current tech environment in so many ways, but perhaps none more on the nose than

It's impossible to describe the kind of moral violation it is to leave shipwreck victims in the water with no help, even when you're the one that caused the shipwreck. At sea ships help each other and sort out the diplomatic bullshit later because at sea you can only rely on each other.

He's right of course. Employer-linked benefits aren't natural law but a WWII wage-control workaround we never bothered to fix. It's also why Americans are afraid to start businesses or leave bad jobs. We've chained risk-taking to a paycheck.

That's right. You got no leg to stand on, Newsom supporters. Shut your hole. We don't need anti trans anti homeless greaseball shit. North Carolina is purple, it's not some blue stronghold.

NOT JUST THIS:

Two other Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina who sided with the GOP to overturn vetoes of major bills (e.g. anti-trans legislation) are also losing in their primaries so far to progressive challengers.

This could be a major night in NC.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.

These words are designed to slide off of our brains and be forgotten.

Say it plainly: No murdering children overseas. No locking up children in concentration camps here. No pedophiles in government or any positions of authority. No Republican freaks inspecting children's genitals.

Pete Hegseth is reported to be 6’0”, which I find incredible, because he has the most β€œFive-nine and trying to look taller to bully someone during an argument in a sports bar” attitude in every clip I see.

(I’m also about 5’9”. 5’9” is fine, but there’s always that one guy who isn’t.)

Fun fact: 54% of US adults read below a 6th grade level.

You have to actively remember literally over half the US adult population is *unable to perceive subtext*

To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country.

In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits.

This was seen as an unfair deal. 🧡

one of the funny truths you learn if you write in the cross-genre romance space is that people who don't like the sex will hallucinate massive amounts of it in your book, and people who wanted more sex will be able to estimate an exact sex word count within like 75 words.

They'll both be mad tho.
