Absolutely not an authority here but a sitting American VP campaigning for another country's president is weird, right? Like that's a conflict of interest or foreign interference or something, right? That can't be legal, is it?

Is real estate novelist still a viable profession?

In good news, look what came today!!!!! @eliwoodsgheist.bsky.social @hookandquillpress.com #bludyeBeach #buythisbook #supportindependentauthors

"ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented, according to the Marine Corps."

Anti-trans laws will lead to people having to prove their gender to the powers that be. You do realize that means genital inspections for teen girls, right? Genital. Inspections. Of young girls. By adults. If you object to that, then maybe back the f*ck off and leave the nice trans people alone.

I was assured that I would get more conservative as I got older. Instead, the older I get the more I realize Rage Against the Machine was absolutely right.

Oh no what if it happens on April 1st and then we can't be sure if its real or not?

Fascism is not inevitable. Go out there today and let your voice be heard. #nokings #nokings2026

I think if every TSA employee drove to Mike Johnson's house and threw bottles of their pee at his windows they would be completely justified

[Gave the 7 year old a quick snack to tide him over until dinner. Me: feel better?] 7 yo: I would say you could have put the jam closer to the edge of that piece of bread, but I don't want to criticize your hard work. I want you to feel good about the choices you've made. [Then he peaced out]

The enshittification of everything continues. I can't believe I used to complain about calling customer service. I would kill to be able to get a real person on the phone to answer my goddamn question.

This week, we have our first ever guests @professoremily.bsky.social and @gunsmile.bsky.social as we discuss their upcoming debut novels. We get them to play a little something we like to call...The Newly-Pubbed Game 😀 #indieauthors #podcasts #writingcommunity #booksky youtu.be/tLZjfMeewq8

If someone could please make a variety pack that was just doritos, kettle corn popcorners, and BBQ lays and no other flavors that would be great. My children are the worst.

The FDA announced that 7 people contracted E. coli from eating cheddar cheese made from raw milk. I cannot understand what the big deal is with pasteurization. It's just heating milk for a set time then rapidly cooling it. No chemicals, no high tech equipment. It's just heated milk.

Happy St. Paddy's! youtu.be/OCbuRA_D3KU?...

Halfway through the month & I'm more than halfway through my Monster Mash story, but I'm still only 4000 words in. Oh well, looks like this one might be short and sweet. What happens when a demon with a wicked smile and an ancient Greek people-eater fight over a people-pleasing himbo? Magic!

Our next episode drops on March 24th, and this one is EXTRA special! We'll be joined by @professoremily.bsky.social and @gunsmile.bsky.social to discuss their upcoming books in The Newly-Pubbed Game 😄 #podcasts #writingcommunity #indieauthors bsky.app/profile/prof...

After working with the U.S. military in Afghanistan, Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal died in the country he spent years of his life helping. The cruelty is endless.

Hegseth should be tried for war crimes

I am going to have to paint my toe nails again, aren't I?

My super power is that I know how to manually reset the clock on every single device in my house.

There is no way I am raw-dogging this meeting without some cocoa

Impeach. Remove. Arrest. Convict.

He recruited his sister to sit vigil with him

My kid just informed me that 6-7 is so 2025

She lives with her grandmother in Colombia and travels frequently to the U.S. to visit her mother. Her visa made them targets for ICE. A trip to Disneyland ended with a 9-year-old, who had broken no laws, detained at Dilley, Texas. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Impeach Pam Bondi

Pam Bondi just laughed when asked if she would apologize to Epstein Survivors.

The vigil never ends

If you need something fun and wholesome for 30 minutes, go watch the new Muppets Show special. Its silly and sweet without ever being sacharine. I really hope they make more! #muppets #muppetshow #Kermit #MissPiggy #moreplease

Name them shame them

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Meanwhile in Massachusetts

Saying you're an artist and therefore not interested in politics is so laughably stupid. Art is political. You cannot separate the two, and if you aren't thinking about your place in the world then how good an artist can you even be?

I used to hold out hope I'd see him rot in jail. Now I'll settle for him sh*tting himself to death and Stephen Miller going to prison instead.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Liam Ramos, a preschooler ICE detained the five-year-old Minnesota boy as he returned home from school and transported him to a detention center in Texas.

Bipartisan negotiators released a DHS funding bill that does not significantly reduce ICE and CBP’s funding nor rein in the agencies’ abuses of power. Make no mistake: Any Democrat who votes for this bill is complicit in Trump’s campaign of terror. Grow a spine and vote no.
