CA Prop 50 has been called...currently 75% yes!

Older. Slower. Perfect

Turns out that Shasta County voting is as cluster-sucky as we imagined it would be.

A disabled woman just hired a care provider through IHSS. (CA's in home care program for low income.) Today is the new workers first day. Her assigned work is cooking and laundry. Client is feels bad about canceling because she has no food in the house (SNAP) and her washer is broken. 😭 #SNAP

“They asked for a sword, and we said, ‘Well, we do have swords, but we can’t give them away because they’re museum artifacts,’” said Todd Arrington, forced to resign as head of Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library.”

Sometimes I get hung up on a detail in a book and can't move forward till I resolve that story. This time, in Blacque/Bleu, Blacque's father, Dane, has a tragic backstory that affects how his children find love. So now, I'm writing Dane's story. It's gutting me. :( #writing #romance

Brilliant, Dan!

They’re doing this because they’re weak.

Please, view this entire thread. Then share it. A lot of folks in the gaming world, in the sci-fi/fantasy world, have brushed up against some of these people. The topic is heavy, but folks a lot smarter than I am have taken time to offer some education and explanation. #CharlieKirk

One of my first novels, and possibly my personal favorite! Belle was inspired by a beautiful, imposing woman I crossed paths with in a grocery store. She was over 6'4" and traveling through with a women's basketball team. Absolutely gorgeous.

Just dropped into Twitter for a few masochistic moments and the first posts I encountered were...interesting. There's a right-wing theory taking off: Kirk was murdered by the T administration because he was calling for the release of the Epstein Files... Things are turning upside down.

He was smarter when the worm was alive. #vaccines

If you haven't been following this account, she's been digging into the FBI coverup of the Epstein Files. This is the sort of reporting we expect from the media, but are getting only from independent journalists. #TrumpEpsteinCoverup

I have a lotta, lotta favorite authors...so many. But the name that immediately comes to mind for romance...sincere, quiet, everlasting love is Mary Balogh. Her novel "Simply Love" is ones of the simplest, deepest love stories I've ever read.

There's a Go Fund Me circulating, raising money for a golden retriever in Europe, who allegedly has pyometria. The GFM went up Aug. 8. This dog is either dead, recovering, or it's fake. Pyo is deadly. It's an infection of the uterus and must be treated immediately. The profile has been suspended.

My county (Shasta County, CA) is in a right wing area in CA, and among other things, is known for missing women. The pretty white, blondes like Tera Smith (a family friend) and Sherri Papini (a schoolmate of my daughters) hit national headlines. Others don't. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

During Desert Storm, my nephew enlisted in the Marines. He thought he was joining the "good fight" and was going in a hero. He discovered wasn't the hero. Same with today's military who are occupying US cities. The government tells them they're doing a good thing. They aren't. #NationalGuard

A message for the most “transparent Administration” in history: Release the Epstein files.

Thinking about assault by sandwiches. (thread) When I was in the 8th grade, (a very long time ago) our class went to observe a local trial at the courthouse. The charges were Assault With the Intent to Kill, and Assault With a Deadly Weapon. It was a bar fight, the weapon was a beer mug. 1/

Listening to the Empyrean (Fourth Wing, etc) series and realizing that under the drama, sexual tension and grumpy dragons, there are very strong parallels to US politics.

Fun as this sounds, it's one thing to go low, another to do it illegally. We don't have the SCOTUS in our pocket, so any gains would be erased. Regardless of how much support CA is showing for the redistricting plan, watch how fast we'll pivot if it's done without our support.

This is my Congressman, Doug LaMalfa. He's been diligently avoiding his constituents, and finally conceded to a series of town hall meetings. At 7:30 in the morning. We live in a very large, rural district, so attending is problematic. Nevertheless, we showed up. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Representative Doug LaMalfa (R, CA District 1) finally put his big boy pants on and started doing town halls. At 7:30 in the morning. It didn't go well. For him. It's really bad sign when you've lost your white senior voters in a majority Republican district. #GOP #MAGA #2026Elections

Los Angeles. DC. Where next? Maybe your city.

The call is coming from inside the house. This garbage is no longer fringe, it's in our government.

If you’re wondering how ICE recruitment and training is going under Kristi Noem—South Park already nailed it.

Imagine being a Russian spy and wandering into the restroom at Mar-a-Lago to take a dump. Jack Smith is an American hero who should've received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Trump is an American traitor who should've received a life sentence.

Watching the Savannah Bananas. I sure wish they'd play Northern California! San Diego is too far. My mom was so puzzled (she has dementia) then caught on to the fun. :)

It's #AuthorAugust25 I'm Belinda McBride, I'm an OG M/M romance author, writing pretty much any genre that has nothing to do with reality! LOL! My first books were published in June 2008 (a MMF fantasy romance called "Missing You" and my newest is Truckee Wolves: Destiny, a MMF paranormal romance.

The names, photos, & background stories of 1,575 rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, are up on "Wall of Shame," an installation by artist Phil Buehler in Brooklyn. This #CupOfJoe is #ArtAsResistance. Never forget Pedo President’s role in this.

The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated

Yep. 💯

Sunday: Behind the scenes of "Destiny." The Truckee Wolves series is set in and around Truckee! LOL! In Destiny, Winter and Kevin shift and spend an evening singing to their lady-love on a glacial field inspired by this one. It's absolutely stunning.

Just spent an hour chatting with my Russian friend, Natalia. We met through dogs, weirdly enough. We don't speak the same language and we have different political beliefs. Both our moms have dementia. She just subbed her first novel to a publisher. She bred my Afghan, Pony. 1/
