You should be aiming at 24 short stories per year. You need to sell shorts into the market and selling shorts is a pure numbers game. Virtually any story will sell, eventually, but nearly all go through a rejection process that takes months or longer. #writingcommunity #booksky #shortstories

Nearly half of the data centers intended for 2026 have already been delayed or canceled. Keep the pressure on. It's making a difference!

Hi #smutsky! We're two pals who are at long last turning to writing smut, as is our destiny. Our first books include: 🌶️ Doppelgangbanger 🏆 Oops! I Had Sex with the World Cup cliteraryelite.carrd.co 🔞 # / #spicybooks #booksky #worldcup #NSFWsky

I'm a huge fan of Dolly Parton. We're the same age and height, but she can sing better. Shame on Missouri Republicans for slashing funding to Dolly's Imagination Library, which provides free books to over 170,000 children every month. They must reverse these cuts immediately.

Driving circles in the sun, Sting of sweat and sweat bees, Squinting against the harshness of Ra, The horseflies buzz my ears and the buzzards circle overhead. “I ain’t dead yet,” I tell, with a yell from my tractor. “And I ain’t gonna die today.”

Thought of the Day: The Star Trek reboot franchise: 1. Changed the character of Sulu from straight to gay, because George Takei is gay (even though he played Sulu as straight. 2. Cast gay actor Zachary Quinto, a gay actor, as Spock. If the next reboot follow form, Spock will also be gay. 🤔

Fck Data Centers!!

polaroid sounds like a slur for antarcticans

Gotta say sometimes I get sick of the whole did you know lynchings are ok if you’re afraid of a kid who’s running away thing

Friends — We need to talk about what's currently going on at CBS News. “60 Minutes” — the most successful television news broadcast in U.S. history — is being dismantled before our very eyes. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-murder-of-60-minutes

“If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.” Justice Brett Kavanaugh www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

One of the realest mechanisms I’ve seen in a TTRPG was in the game Call of Cthulu, where certain characters with certain experiences and personalities wouldn’t lose Sanity Points when witnessing certain things, unlike normal people… But their base Sanity pool was permanently lower.

Man, Euphoria is one hell of a show! 😄 Finishing up S3 now, and I give it 2 thumbs up as a series. Only low point was the play in S2; other than that, it’s just an entertaining ride! 😁👍👍

Why are there NO good songs about heroin? You’d think there’d be at least one? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

whenever i think "i own enough t shirts already" i see something like this

Among my washer's settings are: Rinse & Spin and Drain & Spin BOTH SETTINGS SATURATE THE CLOTHES WITH WATER, then try to spin and give up due to lack of balance. And I am filled with rage, because I just want my washing machine to spin out the damned water. 😡

I'd like to propose that we drain all of Sam Altman's blood and then offer to sell it back to him at cost.

man nothing will make me block you faster than saying you write fiction and like AI

Finished Good Omens S3. The end is remarkably stupid and/or brilliant. If the latter, then it’s definitely dissatisfying, but so brilliantly dissatisfying that I get some satisfaction from it. If the former, then it’s satisfying… but the satisfaction rings hollow because of the stupidity.

On the other hand, there have been many deaths associated with refusing  vaccines.

Every state should take a page out of Hawaii’s playbook on tackling Citizens United

More like “H.R. Complaint-n-Stuff.

When politicians say they can't hold corporations accountable, remember: they can. They just choose not to.

Every American should be disgusted by this.

The citizens of Festus, Missouri, population approximately 14,000, just voted out every single city council member who secretly approved a gigantic data center. A recall petition is also being circulated to remove the mayor and council members who were not on the ballot.

These 8 Democrats voted to pass a national ban on trans teachers and mention of LGBTQ topics. Rep Henry Cuellar (TX) Rep. Don Davis (NC) Rep. Cleo Fields (LA) Rep. Laura Gillen (NY) Rep. Vicente González (TX) Rep. Marcy Kaptur (OH) Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) Rep. Eugene Vindman (VA)

People in other countries like to complain lately about “American Exceptionalism.” And on one level—considering our slide into mediocrity and fascism over my lifetime—I get it. At the same time, do other nations really NOT think of themselves as being unique or exceptional to n at least some ways?

Reminder that Jeff Bezos took over the Washington Post Editorial Board and turned it into a mouthpiece for pro-corporate, pro-billionaire propaganda. WaPo then laid off hundreds of *real* journalists — including the reporter covering Amazon. Billionaire control of the media is a danger to us all.

“Everyone, especially in South Sudan, wanted to know if the US really had cut off aid. It was easier for them to believe that the aid organizations were lying to them than to think that the United States would do this.”

You Go Jasmine Crockett 👏🏻......

Indeed

He raped a woman in a department store and, if the complete Epstein files are ever released, may have done the same to minors. Now he's raping the American taxpayer.

NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

MeidasTouch: What do you make of this $1.776 billion fund— Gavin Newsom: It’s a criminal enterprise. It’s not just corruption, it’s not just graft, it’s a full-on criminal enterprise and it needs to be shut down.

When you’re legally required to release information about a crime or series of crimes, And you refuse to do so, You’re involved in a cover-up of those crimes. I think we need to switch from talking about “The Epstein Files,” to talking about “The Epstein Cover-Up.”

Well, Instagram/Threads keeps deleting my accounts with no real explanation or way to fight it. Twitter is a Nazi bar. So I’m down to just Bluesky, Facebook, and Substack for social media. Are there any other apps out there worth trying…? 🤔

In the movie “Big,” a 12 year-old kid is magically aged into a physical adult. He has sex with an adult woman who doesn’t know he’s a child. He is too young to consent to sex. Her consent is entirely based on falling for his deception. If this went to court, how would it all sort out…? 🤷‍♂️

This is nuts.

there is already enough sadness in the world, why do we need IPAs
