I really cannot express how fucking loathsome I find the idea of Gavin Newsom as the presidential candidate. The skull juice of Saint Nicholas would make a better choice

do you think gavin newsom is gonna be the guy to build the new deal-type programs necessary to give working people what they need? to go after purveyors of racist hate as the criminals they are? to set forth a vision of the future beyond this quarter's earnings report? fat fucking chance.

Here's me doing a song called "You Should Be Angry." Prepare for jumpscare right at start of video.

It’s .. not though and people are giving really good analogies.

This happens in most racially stratified / caste societies and heavily paternalistic societies .

CRT informed historians won’t struggle , most psycho historians won’t struggle

Gender studies won’t

As I have just done so again, a general reminder that I donate all my book royalties to Ukrainian aid and will continue to do so with my next book release too. I'll be doing this for the forseeable future, for as long as I need to.

HNG THIS CHAPTER 😳 Mind-fuckery intensifies and so does the eerie/erotic tension between Maxwell and not-Ivan. What if the spirit possessing you (but leaving you a curious amount of autonomy OR ARE THEY) could grab you by the jaw and breathe ominous words into your ear between cryptic non-sequiters

Jacob's Well is a cool place for sure. Lots of really fascinating cave spots in hill country thanks to the limestone karst and aquifers, but they make it really clear not to fuck around

Yup absolutely

I totally see why people love to talk about their work, too! And as a reader, sometimes I enjoy hearing the why behind someone's story. It can deepen my appreciation of the book.

Cave diving is the most terrifying thing. Every time I hear people chatting about it I think of Jacob's Well in my home state and this sign

The easy details go away SO QUICKLY. you'd think after years of keeping it in the brain it would stay, but no

One of the challenges I have is that I HATE talking about my work. Hate it. I want to put it out into the world and take whatever meaning from it you need. Talking about it feels like turning on the lights in a haunted house.

News outlets have to take note of this. A UN commission has found that Israel’s actions in Gaza meet all the legal qualifications of a genocide. This is now officially the Palestinian Genocide and any attempt to claim otherwise is genocide denial. Enough of the β€˜Israel’s defending itself’ bollocks.

genuinely

like, my mother was like this. It's a real thing. people who genuinely don't believe other people exist only curtail themselves in response to punishment, and they still act like consequences are an inexplicable outside force and not somebody else's reactions

I took this photo of Puck while on my edit crunch and it still makes me laugh. She was so angry with me that my lap wasn't available

I think it's pretty important to understand that algorithmically-run platforms have long understood anger and argument drives much more engagement than just showing you stuff you like, and if you find yourself being made to despair at what a platform shows you, that is the system working as intended
