Everyone needs this on their skyline today. Yes, you. *Everyone*.

Looks like that plane crash was caused by either human error in maintenance, undetected metal fatigue, or a bad part. As well as by the fact that tri engines suck.

Delayed payment came through. But I'm still looking for subscribers ;). buttondown.com/JenniferRP - paid is great, but free is fantastic too, especially for the authors I review!

This is not a mutual aid request or anything like that, but $200 I was supposed to get today did not go through. I'm chasing it, but it would be helpful if I could convince a few people to subscribe to my Buttondown - you get to support my book and TV/movie reviews and an essay a week. (Book sales

So, we elected our Muslim. New York, its your turn! Ghazala Hashmi will become the first Muslim and first Indian-American to hold statewide office in Virginia.

Polls closed an hour ago. The A.P. has called the Virginia governor's race for Spanberger. 35% of votes counted. Here's the thing. Virginia is a state well known for a Red Mirage. I was not expecting results tonight (especially as my power is being turned off at 11pm). At 35%, Spanberger has

Husband left work early to vote. Turnout still at presidential year levels, so he did the right thing. Expect results in VA to be a bit later if turnout is as high as it seems. Virginia does not start counting absentee ballots until election day and electronic tallying can't start until polls

So, report from Arlington County. Lines to vote early on Saturday. On the day turnout in my precinct is at Presidential year levels assuming normal traffic patterns. I saw one Republican. He looked like he would need a map to find his own butt. This is probably good for Spanberger, although

This is actually a really good idea - anyone know if it could be pulled off?

My choices for school board this time around: The guy who wants to put cops back in schools, who has now stopped hiding his transphobia. The guy with no campaign website, who got thrown out of a debate for not filing the right paperwork in time and about whom I know nothing. Or, I could pick...

The people cheering the possibility of grounding ALL air transportation are forgetting what this would mean. Here are some things that travel by air: Organs for transplant (dead people) Patients needing to be transported to a specialist (more dead people). 3.7 million pounds of mail a day. Anything

A thing I want to do, but which appears to be prohibitively expensive: Take a shark watching tour. Not diving. Just going out in a boat looking for sharks. I found one on Cape Cod but we'd need to find some friends to go with us as its a whole boat charter. Another is in Florida and I refuse

The Apex Book Company submission window is now open! 📚✍️ We're looking for surreal stories with unknowable horror, lush prose, and unique POVs. Please email your cover letter and manuscript to [email protected]. Full submission details: www.apexbookcompany.com/pages/submis...

Ranked choice is great. But right now, my choices for board are: 1. The sane incumbent. 2. A MAGA Republican. 3. A MAGA "Independent." 4. Guy one who failed economy 101 and wants to make housing worse. 5. Guy two who failed economy 101 and wants to make housing worse. So, might as well be first

The dogs are gone already.

Me, today, firing a client and updating my policy page for those specific shenanigans. Anyone need an editor? I have unexpected room in my schedule. All you have to do is be honest, sign a contract, and pay me and we'll be very cool.

Could use some assistance from a veteran for a story I'm working on. DMs open, contact info in profile. Not a vet? Reposts much appreciated. Thanks!

Stop treating COVID as special. By which I actually mean, if you are coughing and sniffling, test for COVID and its negative, please still stay home if you can. What you're coughing and sniffling with might not be COVID. It could still do a number on an immunocompromised person, a newborn, or a

We need legislation that requires Congress be in session for...how about 250 days in a given calendar year. That still gives them plenty of time for constituent work and to decompress from a tough job but prevents these kinds of shenanigans. The Speaker should not be able to just shut things down

There's another way to bring health care costs down we never talk about. Reduce the cost of medical school and lift the cap on the number of doctors that can be trained in a year. It costs a couple of hundred thousand dollars to go to med school. So we're all paying our doctors' student loans.

All of my books are currently 50% off on Itch. Great time to pick something up at less risk! itch.io/s/165246/hal...

Okay, posting this everywhere, and I understand it might be a bot. (and a long shot). If the Alex who is trying to contact me about copyediting work is here, they need to try again...the email that got sent to me for contact is [email protected]. Looks like my contact form plugin autofilled it.

So, at this point...people should be grasping that they shouldn't take their young kids to protests. Guess who else you should *not* take. Your dog. Protest dogs are adorable, but dogs are vulnerable to tear gas. Most *especially* do not take bracycephalic dogs such as bulldogs or pugs,

Salem is a little lost in her bed… but also adorable.

This is Minnie. She let out her first ever puppy bark today in an effort to bravely fend off her own reflection. 12/10 (TT: minnieandme11)

Good morning from Kinmo the cat.

This might also be unpopular, but when people are in need, it is not the time to promote your agenda. It's not the time to talk about how vegan food is cheaper. It's not the time to tell somebody who is struggling that they should switch to period panties over pads or tampons.

This might be unpopular. Not all dogs are for everyone. If you're going to get a puppy, research breeds. Make sure that the breed you choose is compatible with your needs and lifestyle, and not just in size. Some breeds *need more advanced owners*. High drive herding breeds do not make good pets,

“Guys, correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe I’m sensing a lack of trust here, and frankly, it hurts my feelings.”

Is someone giving out scritchies?

Baby Tess says, "Ears, what ears?"

So, here is a question we need the answer to. Trump says two men told him he could do whatever he wanted to the White House. Did those men exist? If so, who were they? Trump is obviously not fully compos mentis. WHO would benefit from manipulating him into destroying part of the White House?
