@pastemagazine.bsky.social featured an exclusive excerpt from THE ARTIST OF BLACKBERRY GRANGE this week

Landry blaming "far left liberals" for why amendments failed IN LOUISIANA is funny. Amendment 2 went down 65-35 statewide. Without Orleans it went down 61-39. Without Orleans and Baton Rouge it went down 59-41.

Louisiana — the day is here! 🙌🏼 Now is the time to make your voice heard, stop the Baton Rouge insiders from passing these shady amendments, and SAY NO TO THEM ALL. 🚫 They thought they could get away with an easy win — but we’re not falling for it! VOTE TODAY 7AM-8PM 🗳️

For the amendments on the ballot in Louisiana today, none of them better the lives of non ultra-wealthy people. We're truly just voting "no" to not to make everyday living even worse.

Archaeologists have unearthed the huge tomb of an unknown pharaoh at an Egyptian necropolis, a team of researchers said on Thursday, in what they are calling the second discovery of a king’s tomb this year.

I had a chance to read this one and loved every second!
