People who don’t want to see you make a living wage are the real class traitors

Just like UBI & Medicare for All would be much better uses of taxpayer dollars.

So @alepresser.com and I had a meeting with SIDEQUESTED's publisher this week (such nice people!). No specifics, but the numbers it takes to move a book from "meh" to "ROCKSTAR!!!" are laughable. Your sales have so much influence over publishing! ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️.......Anyhooooooow....... ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

In 1924, Calvin Coolidge's 16-yr-old son played tennis on the White House grounds w/o wearing socks. He got a blister and was dead from infection a week later. This is unthinkable today—which is why I wrote this series. Cuz the systems that save us from this kind of fate are in urgent need of care.

We’re not small business owners, ffs - we’re independent contractors, and we are routinely robbed by the world’s dumbest dingbats.

Guess who just got out of bed to update our toilet stats. Thanks to a Chinese launch, the current count is 10 toilets in space: International Space Station: 4 Crew Dragon Docked at ISS: 1 Soyuz Docked at ISS: 1 Tiangong Space Station: 2 Tianzhou Docked at TSS: 1 Tianzhou headed to TSS: 1

This shouldn't be hard to understand !!

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

I do not know why my "sleepwalkers mysteriously walk across a violent, divided America during an unfolding pandemic being investigated by a rogue government-built AI" novel WANDERERS is a buck-ninety-nine for your electromagnetic book reader of choice, but it is, so go enjoy an on-sale apocalypse?

A decade ago, a FB "fan" sent me faux nudes of my face photoshopped on an adult star's body. It was incredibly disturbing & v real looking. I left FB bc of that & other creepy experiences. Scary as it was, I was a mature woman in my 30s. I can't imagine what it'd be like for teen girls. We need laws

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been disliked by the left for years and years and had never had to fear for her life. She's been disliked by the right for 1 day and now has to hire security.

NEW: The White House intervened in a DHS investigation. The target? Sex offender Andrew Tate. The WH person? Paul “Nazi Streak” Ingrassia. Who was previously also Tate’s lawyer. A banger from @robert-faturechi.bsky.social & Avi Asher-Shapiro www.propublica.org/article/andr...

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Folks, a famous author isn't ever going to contact you out of the blue to offer you literary services. It's always a scam. Also, speaking as an at least semifamous author, you wouldn't want any services we did offer, we're just barely handling our own shit, much less anyone else's.

We had so much fun on our 2025 Bigger & Weirder tour that we decided we just didn’t want to stop. So we’re doing a bunch of shows next year too! If you missed it the first time around - or if for some crazy reason you want to see it again - now’s your chance!! Dates and info at weirdal.com on Monday

This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats. Don’t waste it on centrists who won’t come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives. You won’t end Trumpism without anti-corruption crusaders and warriors for social and economic justice who believe in taxes & big, universal programs.

Should ye, as a Spiffy Human Who Likes to Read, wish to snag signed copies of my books for the holidays, there are two options: 1) Perfect Books in Ottawa can get ye signed copies of my novels 2) Horned Lark Press has signed copies of my novellas—Oberon’s Meaty Mysteries. Ye can order online!

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children. It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.

A view of the capital from a home a Russian strike turned to shards. Yesterday there was life here—children’s drawings on the wall, a mug with half-finished coffee. Today the wind whistles through broken windows.👇

I have the most wonderful story for you all today: baby alligator spotted in Charles River, then immediately rescued by local reptile enthusiast

There are always going to be people who, sincere or otherwise, want all art to conform to their controlling bland "manager policing their workers' bodily autonomy" perspective. And it's important to shut those people out in the cold and create art of wild indulgence and freako obsessions 🤘

If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?

This shit is deadly serious

Re: Epstein’s emails

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

This headline is journalistic malpractice. This isn't Epstein "alleging" that Trump knew. This is Epstein and Maxwell discussing - in 2011, long before Trump had political salience - how the FACT that Trump knew might play out Both of them took as a given that this was a fact in a private email

Realizing the "we poisoned you all with lead for decades" generation was immediately followed by "we fucked up teaching you how to read, now you're bad at it and hate it" generation to be followed by "Mandatory AI will fry your cognition" generation. Well, shit. www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...

Saying “reading books in public is performative” is a very quick and simple way to communicate to me that you are a stupid little pig I do not need to listen to and in that sense I appreciate it

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

She’s up by about a hundred votes, but some 1700 ballots have been challenged and are in need of curing, so click below to make sure yours was accepted! (And check your voicemails/email spam folders in case you missed a notification.)

There's more evidence that mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 can supercharge the immune system—this time in cancer patients.

That’s kind of you! I don’t have a direct donation thingie, but if you convince someone to buy any of my books, that’s kind of the same thing?

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

While they’re still screwing about with SNAP, it’s a good idea to donate to pet shelters, too. If you dare show up with “poor people shouldn’t have pets”, I will tear such a new one it generates a black hole. apnews.com/article/pets...

They do not have a plan, they’ve never had a plan. They’ve also never had the votes to repeal the ACA which is *OVERWHELMINGLY* popular, nor have they been able to get the Supreme Court to overturn it, so instead they’ve just shut down the entire government to try forcing Dems to stop funding it.

Someone should go there and show them the clips of Trump's Great Gatsby party. I bet they'd be so happy to know he's having fun.

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

anyway this is very, very stupid and a fine example of why workers need a union to push back on such nonsense

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

the fury i feel is indescribable.
