If you were cool with this, you can shove your "Happy 4th of July" up your ass.

Ah, comp titles. The bane of many authors' query letters - they're tricky to choose and what if there isn't anything out there like your book anyway? What if that's the whole point? Buckle up, more @keslupo.bsky.social advice incoming. 🧵

OMG. Trump tripped on the steps of Air Force One. By his own standards, he’s not fit to be President. He mocked Biden for this exact thing. Now it’s his turn. KARMA. IN. MOTION. 🙌🏼

abolish ice and a war crimes tribunal for each one of these demons

"Requiring that we be invited into someone's home before we can enter is kneecapping the vampire industry."

Dear Grim Reaper: Don’t even think about it. Don’t you dare. President Biden must live to see Trump defeated. Again. And forever.

WTF cancer, you had one job.

No there isn’t. (Also it’s always been HBO Max to me)

Congratulations to Pope Leo XIV. May he continue Pope Francis’s work. Now, first order of business: Excommunicate the living daylights out of Vance.

Canada’s had a great day in its history. Now, what I hope to see is Carney and Canada remembering that liberal states, cities, and voters are and will always be friends and allies. Keep Trump elbowed up (and Vance too, whenever Trump finally strokes out and off the planet).

My latest Substack lifts the curtain on my current query inbox and answers the question: Why I haven't responded to your query yet? open.substack.com/pub/kesialup...

Happy Earth Day! 💚

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

There may never be another like him again. RIP Pope Francis

Just like Negan, Abby represents the point where the writers decided torture porn was more important than being a goddamn zombie show. Even down to the use of blunt sports implements. Anyway, happy trails Pedro Pascal. Be free of this toxic fungus pile. #TheLastOfUs

Shit like this is why we need to form a shadow government to do the actual business of America, until such a time as we’ve accumulated enough supply of Fascist-B-Gone to treat the whole country

We’re now at 24 hours of the leftists on this site slandering me personally, telling me to kill myself, and just relentlessly abusing me as the dumbest and worst person to ever live because I said “China is a dictatorship where people have no political freedoms, much worse than the US”

I’m a Chastain moon, Voss rising, and Mercurio sun…and I can’t bloody WAIT to read #EmpireOfTheDawn. Consider this my bsky application for the ARC, @misterkristoff.bsky.social.

This is so sad.

So, which is it? If this info wasn’t classified, that in itself would be a scandalous screw-up that must be explained. And if it was classified, then the Trump administration lied to Congress and to the American people.

Aren’t we all. It takes a hell of a lot to get Pete Fucking Buttigieg to drop an F-bomb. Everyone on that group chat should be fired, impeached, fucking DEPORTED.

Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell says some of his Republican colleagues in the House are opposed to Trump policies but they stay silent because fear they and their families will be attacked by MAGA followers. Time for them to resign, no?

Finished #SunriseOnTheReaping in one sitting last night. There is so much to be said about how life itself defies fascism's efforts to force it to conform to its script. The level of connections between all these characters, too, is off the charts. (1/5)

The Shining at Portland Opera! Hope they can add more shows to meet demand www.wweek.com/arts/theater...

I hope that when Tesla inevitably goes out of business, Rivian buys up their factories and offers every worker their job back, with better pay and benefits. Poetic justice. And my old hometown will have pride in its industry again

One thing I won’t do: I won’t advocate for hurting the good people of my country. We aren’t the sick ones. We aren’t the ones who need metaphorical chemotherapy against Trump. We need help to BE the chemotherapy. Anything else plays into the hands of Trump and Putin and all their sinister ilk.

Oh joy, another case of Cadet Bone Spurs toxifying the White House

Coworker: we need to burn some sage today. Me: yeah, there’s a lot of places that need it. -beat- I hope Trump is allergic. Coworker: 😂😂😂😂😂

I’d take any of them but especially Pete. I left California in part because of Newsom and his smugness

I’ll take @petebuttigieg.bsky.social over Gavin Newsom any day of the week & it’s not even close. I’ll take @aoc.bsky.social over Newsom any day of the week & it’s not even close. I’ll take @andybeshearky.bsky.social over Newsom any day of the week & it’s not even close. These are my 3 hopefuls.

I work at OHSU. I can NOT see a ballpark in the Zidell Yards without adverse impacts on transportation.

A letter I sent to MGP today. She’s fraying my last nerve. WA-03 friends, feel free to use this as a template.

Watching the @wyden.senate.gov townhall instead of SOTU. THANK YOU Senator Wyden for boycotting the SOTU and providing Oregonians a chance to ask questions in these dark and dire times.

That reminds me, I need a physical copy of this one for the collection

Honestly, this. This is exactly what I dislike most about Anora. Real oligarchs aren’t adorable or bumbling. And this is why I think Baker himself is a phony and a creep

Watching the Oscars and the SNL 50 stuff the past few weeks shows that that spark of freedom of expression is still strong in this country. This place can be amazing and I'm not giving up.

Thinking about this review of Poor Things last year that accused it of being male gazey and fake feminist. That guy’s probably drowning his sorrows in an entire bottle of Oregon Pinot right now that Anora won. (I say this as someone who loved Poor Things btw) #Oscars

The Academy got taken over by gooning perverts. That's the only explanation for Anora winning so big.

I’d like to apologize to President Zelenskyy and the people of Ukraine on behalf of the people of the United States of America

Third time's the curse, after two years of backing the big winners at the #Oscars. I knew I was gonna be disappointed this time but it still stings. Anora robbed so many superior movies this year. My hope is that it'll eventually find its legacy in obscurity.

Seriously, am I the only one who thinks Sean Baker is a fake and a creeper?

Coralie Fargeat was robbed. #Oscars

I was afraid Dune Part Two would get shut out but thank the Maker it didn’t. Now I just need to see Anora win nothing else tonight, and a shutout for The Brutalist while we’re at it

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

“So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.” - Kurt Vonnegut

Saw a couple of cars with Canadian plates out in Portland today. Nice that there are those who see that America isn’t the enemy. Trump is. As far as I’m concerned, any visitors from abroad are flipping the bird to the fascists just by being here, and I’ll always consider them welcome guests.
