#bookreview 📚💙 📚🪐 📚🌃 Fan of: - Urban Fantasy - Buffy The Vampire Slayer 📺 - Meddling Kids 📖 - Being too old for this s*** - Growing up Try: @jimchines.com's Slayers Of Old www.jimchines.com/bookstore/#S... The MC's saving the world days were long since over...until trouble came looking for them.

always remember: Terry Pratchett said trans rights this book was written in 1996 by a 48 year old British man and no cis person in 2025 has a single goddamn excuse to behave differently

Bumping this as a reminder NYT leans hard on revenue from their puzzles, games, Wirecutter etc to fund their billionaire apologist headlines, contrarian Op-Ed take havers, and iffy/yikes livetweeting style of journo

this is an extremely common and well understood surgery, obviously this was not a real number, but what the fuck healthcare costs are an absurd kabuki theater between insurance and providers and no human being can possibly be expected to manage this shit anyone who says otherwise is lying to you

so, today I got the surgery center where I got my deviated septum fixed to send me an itemized bill so I could submit to my FSA for reimbursement my out of pocket cost: $473 what my insurance paid: $4258 what they tried to charge my insurance (not a misprint): $173692

10/10 take. No notes.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

As a headsup for anyone on Vyvanse, you should go check your lot numbers. www.health.com/adhd-medicat...

hey Cuomo go away and never come back this time

do i think most of mamdani's stances are good and should be replicated? sure. do i understand they wont work in swing/red areas? sure. do i think democrats should pick people who run for office who look like they give a damn instead of functionaries just checking boxes? fuck yeah.

You should be able to eat even if you are not working. Access to food is a human right. Access to clean water is a human right. Access to adequate shelter is a human right. Access to healthcare is a human right.

Longtime readers know the true villain of American politics is the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929. Repealing this and restructuring Supreme Court are the bare minimums of fixing government in this country. Bare minimums. (Yes, I want mulit-member districts too. Good luck trying for those.)

The contrast between what Obama was expected to do to atone for Jeremiah Wright's sermons, which were not at all racist, and what Graham Platner is not expected to do to atone for his own public declarations, which are, is very revealing.

Kobo's big month-long spooky sale continues! Dweller is 50% off in eBook www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/... and a couple of bucks off in audio www.kobo.com/ca/en/audiob... If you haven't yet heard Hannah Church's "Fuck you, Greg", you are not prepared for how beautifully she delivers it.

💕 "We dont have any illegal aliens. I don't know if that's from some sci-fi message or what. Look, the legal term for my people was slaves. Do you want me to use that?" - Brandon Johnson, Chicago mayor

Yes

Read the series, and then join Skyla's patreon for the shorts & extra material because you're now obsessed with it and you need it all in your eyeballs like *now*. And then do the same with Demons of Oblivion & Waverly & all the standalones, because seriously, Skyla is an excellent author.

*takes notes* Okay, so now we have a number for Livi 7. Just need to get the funding syndicate rolling. (I am mostly kidding, but I did straight up ask what the number for that was at one point.) Which is a sign you should go check out the series. Just saying. payhip.com/b/Btpi

Seriously, this clip is *the best* 😂 The whole audiobook is excellent; treat yourself (and check out The Watcher of the Woods audiobook while you're at it)

Hannah Church does a fantastic job with Norah--I'm selling an ebook/audio bundle direct (and if you buy print from me, you can get discounts on both of those as well). Store sites have samples but I'll link to the "I drew you a map once" clip below (when I find it).

Blocking anyone who excuses or supports the Nazi tattoo. Fuck that. No Nazis, No TERFs, No Racists, No Bigots, period.

It's Publication Day for SLAYERS OF OLD!!! From @dawbooks.bsky.social's official description: "Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Golden Girls in this humorous contemporary standalone fantasy about a group of former Chosen Ones coming out of retirement to save the world one last time."

Your "big tent" cannot be so large that it encompasses those who would deny civil/human rights, due process, and the rule of law to *anyone* and that includes the criminals in this administration. It for damn sure means we don't sacrifice immigrants or trans people.

the "p.s. fuck cuomo" here is just beautiful

If your go to attacks on horrible people are about their weight, their appearance, their mental health, their able bodiedness, congratulations...you're doing the same thing they do.

if you're willing to sacrifice some groups for your personal safety, i'm going to assume you'll sacrifice anyone. Either we all get humanity and rights or none of us will. Because nobody is voting for another centrist Dem trying to move the party right. that shit is over.

At long last, Watcher and Odin's Spear are both available on Google Play in audiobook: Watcher of the Woods play.google.com/store/audiob... Odin's Spear play.google.com/store/audiob...

this business model should be flatly illegal taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome ban it completely

Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,

These are precedented times and the precedent is a loud ass warning www.nytimes.com/1939/02/04/a...

Just a reminder: they were never actually against cancel culture. They were against the cancellation of people they agree with or like. They’ve always been enthusiastically in favor cancelling people they don’t like. If you took them at their word you’re a useful idiot.

Do not put your name on a website to register for a rally in this political climate. What the fuck's wrong with y'all. Are there any people of color that work at this org who might knock some sense into your peach colored heads.

This is why we don't have anything to do with Indivisible, Occupy, 50501, or any of these nonsense faux-resister grifts. They're gonna get folks killed. WHY would you "sign up" for a protest? There are only two reasons they'll ask you: 1) to boost their $$/clout; or 2) to shop you to the feds.

There’s a way to be respectful in reporting on Charlie Kirk being shot while also refusing to whitewash who he was and what consequences his political activism has had. Obituaries for public figures are a part of history.

I wish I could care that bad people died to gun violence but no one cares when good people die to gun violence soooo.

Sara Jacobs: "Filler is gender affirming care. Boob jobs is gender affirming care. Botox is gender affirming care. Lots of my colleagues have received gender affirming care and let me be clear, I think everyone should have access to the gender affirming care they need." Nancy Mace: *screams*

They're like, "You won't be singing that tune when they find prominent Democrats on the list!" Me: "All child rapists and molesters should be harshly punished, no exceptions." "Children should be safe" is not a partisan issue. If you disagree, fuck off.

Walensky is one of the reasons many people lost trust in the CDC, as she failed to follow the science on COVID, shortening quarantines at the request of corporations. And, she failed to educate the public about the risks of Long COVID. This set the stage for further corruption at the CDC.
