almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.

If ATL airport is rough for travelers, it's even worse for many of the workers. One of the people in my book, Cass, works the graveyard shift mopping floors and cleaning bathrooms. She's kept at 29 hours a week because at 30 she'd qualify for health insurance and sick leave.

This violent CBP agent's Twitter account follows 2 Holocaust deniers (Nick Fuentes and Stew Peters) and 9 accounts associated with InfoWars and its current or former employees. He's likely knee-deep in far-right and antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Excellent story and research! It's incredible how many fine publications in the past year have been snookered into publishing AI-generated stories.

In 1862, @saulelbein.bsky.social writes, suffering textile workers streamed into a Manchester meeting hall. At stake: whether Britain should join the Civil War on the side of the Confederacy. Proponents of "kitchen table politics" can learn a lot from what happened next. New, on Heat Death!

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

the biggest lesson from the emails today is that powerful people are so unafraid of consequences for crimes as bad as “raping children” that they will just talk about it openly in emails the only path to a better society is one where that is no longer true

Highly recommend this for lovers of contemporary romance. This rivals-to-lovers story does such a good job of showing how its characters both respect each other's capabilities while also lifting each other up. It is sweet, funny and very real about the struggles of academia.

Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.
