He got paid up front tho, yeah? Cos that's a lot of work.

This is so adorable. A reader gave All Roads Lead to Earls a 'drive by' 5 stars. That's what I call it when a reader leaves a rating, but no review. And you know what? I'm fine with that. Readers don't owe me anything. I'm the one that owes them a good time. books2read.com/RoadsEarls

“The reality is of course, the Israeli propaganda machine is a highly organised movement that has been well under way since the middle of last century. It's slick, it's coordinated & it’s designed to do two things - silence any dissent & terrify any other person or organisation from doing the same”

I think I've grown as a person, because I'm fine with this. Wow, go me!

Nobody move! I love this number.

Sharing for anyone who needs it. It's me, I need this.

Everyone who was an armchair expert on death-cap mushrooms is ready to pivot, right? But also, I think this speaks to how few deaths we have, in this magnificent country with pretty strict gun control.

WE MUST PROTECT THE ONION.

Essential eye witness reporting in Gaza. A terrible warning for a dystopia future.

Husband and son have been slogging through Star Trek, Enterprise. Last night I was semi-watching it with them while doomscrolling. I looked up and saw this. It's from the 2004 episode called Storm Front. Did they call it or what?????

I remembered to invoice today!

I got my work done and sent an invoice. Now I can read all about Mushroom Lady!

Rebel Wilson stars as Erin Paterson in Guess Who's Not Coming Home From Dinner.

Climate change is a driving force in cost of living pressures. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07... The insurance industry knows this, politicians keep kicking the can down the road.

Shameful

Here are some of my most lukewarm and unhinged author takes. 🧵 Authors owe the reader a good time. They should deliver on the promise of their premise. When can a reader review? When they've read a whole book. When they've read part of a book and lost interest.

Website that hosted the federal govt’s national climate reports, mandated by legislation, went offline Monday. The website was one of the main federal sources of info on climate change. Obviously if we stop talking about it, it will go away. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/c... h/t @sejorg.bsky.social
