there is no politician so irreplaceable that we must overlook sexual misconduct because nobody else could possibly fill their shoes

If you wish people had come forward sooner, help create a world where they feel safe doing so, where it isn't going to ruin their mental health and haunt them for years. Or, you know. Shut the fuck up.

Some weirdo wrote a thing that I read this morning that still moves me deeply. I can plant the seeds I can plant.

Once-Adventurous Salmon Can’t Believe She Ended Up Moving Back To Birthplace, Having A Bunch Of Kids https://theonion.com/once-adventurous-salmon-can-t-believe-she-ended-up-movi-1825827223/

guess Netflix feels Louis C.K. has been canceled long enough

Seeing a lot of “we went to the moon instead of funding healthcare” takes and want to note it is a false dichotomy. The US could easily do both, but the politicians and people who finance them have chosen to make Americans suffer. And they avoid paying taxes to make it harder to help Americans.

One of my favorite things to do is settle in once Greg is done with one of these threads and just scroll it and feel better about the world

just one moment of celebration for getting a major donor to move $3 million dollars this week to rent funds now if only there were more than one generous super-wealthy person and the news hadn’t moved on from this entirely predictable crisis

So, a reason I keep sharing alterna-reads to HP is bc I'm not talking to superfan adults, I'm talking to parents/teachers/librarians who are making book purchasing choices for kids -- I really think it's a needed step in killing the cyclical support this series gets

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

I really enjoyed this book!

I think it's vitally important that everyone know that when baby bear cubs are orphaned and taken to our local wildlife center, they get fed and rehabbed by people masking their scent and wearing costumes like this so they don't get habituated to humans

No, go after them because they're bad for society, like arsenic in the water. A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

Hey all. Piper Drake, a friend and a fellow romance author, needs some help funding her cancer treatment. It's been a long, tough road, but she's got one more story in her and we'd like to buy her a little more time to get it out. www.gofundme.com/f/help-autho...

You can DECLINE to stop giving people e.coli?

I say, with the voice of experience, that breast cancer sucks but modern treatments are astonishing. Canceling this research is an act of cruelty.

Delta needs some feedback today. If you transport children for ICE, you lose customers.

another day proving my theory: the only thing billionaires have ever contributed to society is their ex-wives.

It's a good book! Lots of dinosaurs and shenanigans!

The novel is launching first on Kickstarter, which means backers get: 📖 the book 3 months early ✨ a special illustrated hardcover edition 🦖 dinosaur adventure + witty, swoony romance + time travel shenanigans If that sounds fun, you can check it out here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/eli...

One of the perks of writing Time Trap is I got to play with a bunch of cool prehistoric creatures like: 🦕 dwarf sauropods 😱 Giant pterosaurs 🦈 ALL the marine reptiles Science! Just with a higher mortality rate. Check out the preorder on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/eli...

#sffchat I love T. Kingfisher. It's a great day when there's a new Kingfisher book to devour.

#sffchat I'd love to see more SF stuff with dinosaurs outside of the Jurassic Park/World franchise. (Part of why I had to write my own!)

i am not generally a "go through the hoops to write a comment I don't think will really be read" kind of guy, but for a plan THIS bad, by a guy I hate THIS much... I'll make the exception

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Meet Dr. Grace Carson: • world-class paleobiologist • stubborn workaholic • reluctant action heroine • currently dying repeatedly in a time loop All she wanted was to study dinosaurs in peace. 🦖

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

Important question for the internet: Do you want Jurassic Park dinosaurs + The Mummy's banter + a Groundhog Day time loop? 🦖💋⏳ Because that’s the chaotic energy of my new romantic SF thriller Time Trap. Kickstarter link: www.kickstarter.com/projects/eli...

I just backed MegaloBook on Kickstarter. This thing looks so freaking cool, I cannot even. www.kickstarter.com/projects/152...

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

All of our wildlife patients this year so far have been owls, but this is our first short-eared. You can help prevent car strikes like this by obeying rural speed limits and not throwing any litter out of cars. Even organics like apple cores attract rodents to roads, which attracts their hunters. 🪶

Hawkeye (and the writers room) knew.

I have Ryan Grim blocked everywhere he exists but fwiw: yes class is weird in Maine. But it doesn't matter because idk why we're discussing the precise class status of the nazi tattoo guy. There is not actually a class where that becomes less of a problem.

I worked under a first sergeant in Texas that would have had Platner doing stupid shit like mowing dirt, sweeping the walls, and an unearthly amount of pushups every day until he got that ink removed or he was booted out. And that man was definitely a demon from Hell. Still he had standards.

Strongly recommended!

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.

Letting Fetterman score clean dunks like this is a threat to national security

losing a primary by FIFTY points because you backed ICE should tell everyone where the zeitgeist is right now

This is what everyone should be worrying about. Not Trump canceling elections, but Republicans taking the trips they've been playing on everyone else and doing them to white voter precincts. This thread is a painfully perfect description of how it will go down.

I do not want to hear the term 'underaged women' ever again. It is such a gross term. The word is 'girls' or 'children'.

My novella "Pâtissier et Étranger" will be released very soon! Do you like baking? Intrigue? Adventure? Romance? All that went into the batter, and the result is about to come out of the oven.... Does "cozy thriller" even make sense? Hm. As always I'd be happy to send a review ebook on request.

"deprofessionalizing" fields that are majority-women...not by accident!
