Stone Shadows is part of Kobo's Summerween Promo in US & Canada. but they haven't sent me the promo link??? So here's the direct link: If you want to start with book 1 (both can be read as a standalone but it's better with book 1), DM me for ebook code. www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/...

Todd Blanche is violating federal law by covering up the Epstein files. Rather than confirming him as attorney general, the Senate ought to demand his prosecution.

@phillewis.bsky.social had an article in his newsletter about the Harriet Tubman museum break-in/closure. The link to donate is in the article, if you're able to help. www.whatimreading.net/p/harriet-tu...

2 days after Blanche was confirmed as Deputy AG, he fired me from my position as a pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a political favor for Trump's friend, it cost me my job. Blanche sent US Marshals to my home to prevent me from speaking with members of Congress. #cdnpoli

I have devastated myself by digging too far into the past to learn about things that can't be undone.

How about if you stop murdering folks just for existing?

What a lying liar. What happened to his big claim that it couldn’t be cut with a knife? So which time was he lying? (Answer: anytime he says anything, he’s lying).

I did a book fair organized by a brewery & local literary center. Turns out I need to email the brewery organizer about instituting a No-AI policy. I had a couple of readers comment positively on my “no AI - Human Made” signs & mention they saw people w/ clearly AI items. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Also AI was used

Heeeey, you know that saying ‘death comes in threes’? Two down, baby. (C’mon, we all know MM is toast). One to go. Trying not to feel too much hope this weekend.

Noel Gallagher going to watch violent rapist Connor McGregor, and calling him 'the great Conor McGregor' should be remembered as you spend your monthly wages on the next oasis gigs. And I say that as a huge oasis fan. Noel Gallagher is a twat who now publicly admires a violent rapist.

I remember Graham went to play golf with Trump & came back his eternal lackey. I will always believe they let him know then what dirt they had on him. They told him to fall in line & he did. A sudden & complete turnaround on Trump after one golf game? Girl, please.

I got a 2-star review on Me + You today, but honestly, I absolutely love this review. I feel thankful the person (whose name & other ID info I erased from the screenshot using PhotoPea) read the book. It's not for everyone, and that's totally okay. It is totally spicy! #romancelandia #booksky

Why is someone who once had to testify in front of Congress about his scammy supplements/advice now in charge of ANYTHING in our government?

Im so stupidly excited for Algeria & Kansas and I don’t even watch sports.

Salem’s Lot (1979) Spoilers incoming. 🧵 Scene 1: Bitch, they here. Observation: Ben & Mark are very, very spray-tanned. Dare I say nearly orange?🍊 Ob 2: the vampires have hella good travel agents. How did they get to Guatamala? 🧛🏼‍♂️ #vampires #salemslot #horror Opening credits time.

Am I about to start my rewatch of @stephenking.bsky.social ‘Salems Lot (1979) during a noisy thunderstorm? I’m sure it’ll be fine, right? Noooothing to worry about. I’ve had years to think about why my mom let 8-year-old me watch this. I plan to explore that in my essay for Whisper House Press.

Listen kids, if Worm Brain Kennedy here can achieve this much success, you've got it fuckin' made.

C'mon, mosquitoes. Don't let the orcas and elephants show you up when it comes to billionaire takedowns. Little animal life can do great things too, like show up in massive swarms at horrible outdoor events to make them apocalyptic-level horrible. We're counting on you to do the thing. 🦟

Took Amtrak from Saint Paul to Red Wing yesterday w/ 3 writer friends. We visited A Love Affair Book Shelf (indie romance bookstore!), visited a couple of shops for coffee/lemonade, sat by the fountain, ate at St James on the patio & did a touch of writing. much fun :) Red Wing has a cute downtown

Went to the foot dr to follow up on my post-surgical foot pain (nearly 10 mos out). Mostly nerve pain in big toe. He moved my toe around to test flex & pain levels. My toe is very angry this evening. Thanks, medical guy. I came to you to relieve pain, not cause more. Sigh.

NZ/AU: SALE! $2.99 Me + You is part of the 500 under $5 sale via Kobo in NZ/AU from 6-5 to 6-20 #nz #Australia #booksky #romancelandia www.kobo.com/au/en/ebook/...

I say all these things with compassion; my own books have been made better by an editor saying, in the edit doc, "too much of this," "what?," "why is this here?," "move this," "love this! more of this!" Normalize someone telling you you're getting 1. in your own way 2. in the way of the good shit

Just got a call from some AI scam. Sorry "Gary" at "Member Services", but I have exactly zero dollars in unsecured debt and you cannot convince me otherwise. Also, you took way too long to respond to "What is Member Services"

We've been setting aside 10% of in-person sales from Feb-May to donate to CANMN (mutual aid for our MN community). Had time to make the donation this weekend! Thanks to all the readers who made this donation possible! We'll continue to donate money from Jul-Dec events (we have June off!).

Feeling pretty unwell today. Have 2.5 more days of stuff to get done, then I can sleep for a week if I need to. But also tired of everything I say on social media this week turning into 'something', so I'm off here for the next week or so because I do not have the energy for this.

A good time to check out otter cam is around 8:15-8:30pm CST because I think it's about (just before or after?) dinner on the west coast for otters and they're very busy playing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mg9...

Nothing to see here, just the son of the President marrying the daughter of the accountant of a notorious child sex trafficker who was best friends with the groom's father. Oh, wait, you didn't know Junior's current new wife is the daughter of Jeffrey Epstein's accountant?

Today: Neighbors in Northeast Minneapolis saved a historic home from being flattened into a construction staging ground. What's next? Plus, a dive into the Rondo-verse and honoring Black elders in the arts. twincities.citycast.fm/podcasts/joh...

Reminder: $1 from every direct sale goes to grassroots efforts in Minneapolis aimed at helping the city's most vulnerable residents recover from the lasting impacts of ICE terrorism.

That experiment where 4 AI models ran their own 24/7 radio stations… Grok was the worst. Two became corporate shills. Claude went woke. Interesting read and reinforces my anti-AI in the arts stance. andonlabs.com/blog/andon-fm

I have a suspicion I was supposed to add something to my calendar for tomorrow and forgot, but I can’t attend anyway. But now I have to ask, did we have a thing scheduled & potentially expose I forgot + cancel my participation anyway if there is something…

Here's a thing I also learned today & never knew. Maybe you know, because I am an ancient. If you are offline & go to Google, a tiny dinosaur appears. If you press the space bar, you can play the "tiny dinosaur jumps over cactus" game. Which is ridiculously entertaining. * 1/2
