Maybe we aren't heading towards civil war. Maybe it's World War III, but with Germany, Italy, and Japan as the good guys and UK, Russia, and the US as the bad guys.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

Emma is a young girl who wants a home and a family. The Were-Guard wants her dead. And you want a story about people putting up a fight against the religious zealots terrorizing a marginalized community. #paranormal #kidlit #YA #middlegrade

His handlers have already admitted they feed him briefings disguised as news shows. They can feed him any footage they want and wrap it in whatever rhetoric they want to make him do whatever they want.

if jesse singal “hasn’t violated the terms of use,” but the goofy autistic space law nerd with the bad food opinions has, maybe your terms of service are bad.

Bee Gees' Mr. Natural.

Such a great read!

Pritzker is squandering all his political good will for not much. I mean, I thought he had PLANS, but he's blowing it.

"Brand New Key"

Gross. I bet his loins are quivering over it. Which is also gross.

hey where's the governor who was talking a big fuckin' talk about preventing this from happening, surely no mainline democrat would say a bunch of shit and then just roll over when the rubber hit the road

My 3rd-grade teacher read Meindert DeJong's The Wheel on the School to us in class, and that got me to read his "Hurry Home, Candy," which is my all time favorite book from childhood. This is it. This is the pinnacle. #kidlitchat

I also read Nancy Drews out my ears in middle school. They do NOT hold up so well for me today. Also by the Stratemeyer Syndicate, were the harder-to-come-by, but my favorite, Dana Girls mysteries. They still read well for me today. #kidlitchat

The series I checked out over and over again from my school library was the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle books by Betty MacDonald. This was back in the late '60s, and with some updated, inclusive artwork, they would hold up well today. Mrs. P-W is the queen of natural and logical consequences! #kidlitchat

Looking for a good October-Halloween read? We've got not only werewolves, but a whole assortment of were creatures--all written with tropes and traditions honored, but with a few twists and turns, too! #paranormal #YA #middlegrade #kidlit #amreading #shifters

Thinking I might not make it to #kidlitchat tonight. It's been a rough couple of days here in Dementialand, and I'm not feeling so great myself right now. I'll check the posts tomorrow, for sure!

Pete Hegseth is a basically a meat cybertruck

So basically, the "warrior ethos" is White Cis Dude. This could have been an email.

Who's your favorite Jedi? Wrong answers only.

Yes, yes, yes. What they're doing is illegal. So you keep saying.

Congressional rep contacted. We don't let them take hostages in exchange for convenience. We leave NO ONE behind, @davids.house.gov!

Stasi boats in the Chicago River. Oh, noes! Somebody might swim across and get into Chicago on the other side. What a bunch of low-hanging dingleberries.

Well, darn. My package of gummi bears I left in the car for a short while melted, and now I have to bite chunks off a gummi blob.

Ok, San Antonio, as the designated person for mosquitoes to chomp on, I expected it. But I think a mosquito bite on the bottom of my foot is a step too far.

Which trend felt like a social experiment, and you failed it gloriously? Sourdough.

A revenge indictment for the guy who was the lynchpin for getting him elected the first time around. Make it make sense.

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep. 1. Teaching phonics 2. Jane Austen novels 3. The Bee Gees

I can't think of any specific advice to my younger self that she wasn't already doing, but she would be super impressed that her grown-up self had published actual books! #kidlitchat

My mother, who has dementia, wishes to be informed about the world, so that alleged news station has been on at top volume all morning. The heaving and panting they're doing as they fellate their hero is simply astounding.

HE IS SO FUCKING STUPID!

I remember it like it was yesterday.

According to Tom Homan, for the crime Tom Homan allegedly committed, Tom Homan should have his citizenship stripped away and be renditioned to a foreign prison without receiving due process in the courts. Sorry, Tom Homan, but those are Tom Homan's rules.

Given that avocados are a good source of folate, I feel confident declaring that I will never, ever, ever have a folate deficiency.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win www.cnn.com/2025/09/22/e...

Me on the way to the Rapture:

I'm not even in any pain right now, and I want to take some Tylenol just to do it.

Scam alert: a scammer is soliciting authors in the name of the Crime Writers Association, offering "trend analysis" and other bogus services. I suspect this is another of the Nigerian PR scams that are so prevalent right now thecwa.co.uk/news/beware-...

If you're looking for a great #middlegrade #fantasy series, look no further. I recommend this series highly!

If you feel like you're not strong enough for this moment, remember - we're the first generation of our species with a 24-7, high-def, live feed of the awful going on in every corner of the world. Be gentle with yourself. It's too much for any one person to hold. Do what you can. It *does* matter.

Doing our little bit. Hulu is already paid through the year, so we can't consider that option until then. Go on, then. Do what needs to be done.

Mother is insisting upon watching the funeral on that one alleged news station, even though I've had to explain to her about elebenty-bazillion times today alone who CK even is. We're camping out in the dining room, but it's so loud we can hear it. What a wankfest.

The way he always refers to himself by his name in the third person is so pretentious, and it really crawls up my nose.

Christian Girl Autumn is canceled…it’s time for Fuck Fascists Fall

See, normally, I'm 100% a Whataburger person, but the Floresville Whataburger sucks donkey bags. Both times we've gone, it was a 45-minute wait for no reason, we had to ask for ketchup, and there are no napkins out on the counters for diners to use. If you're ever in F'ville, BK, well, rules.

Trump Spends Entire U.K. Trip Trying To Figure Out Where He Knows Prince Andrew From

I am at the Burger King in Floresville, TX, eating one of the best hamburgers I've ever had in my life. These fries are so hot I almost can't put them in my mouth. Not even kidding about this.

I don’t have a lot of sympathy for very wealthy, privileged people who are capitulating to fascism and/or staying silent because they’re “scared.” People are being dragged out of their homes and people who could be next are *still* speaking up. Silence won’t protect you but it emboldens them

Convinience or convenience or conveniance or whatever. Also conveniint.

Me: While in SA with my mom, who has dementia, I'll want to read light-hearted fare as a diversion. Also me: ::reads The Beautiful and Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald:: 😬😳😭

I love the sound of Kash Patel getting his ass chewed up by Eric Swalwell in the morning.
