Democrats: People must follow the law. Trump: KILL THEM. Republicans: PEOPLE MUST BOW TO THE AUTHORITY.

If you like an author's work and want them to continue to write, the best thing you can do is send me money.

I may be lacking in some regards, but my assortment of dried chili peppers is not one of them.

Why Calling President Trump a 'Lame Duck' Is Hate Speech

Was recommending a friend watch the invaluable Heather Cox Richardson for her wise and sophisticated political commentary:

I was raised in a family in which the NYT was the adjudicator of reality. It's been a long few decades. Still, I've been learning. However, I must say, after careful reflection, what the holy fuckfathom have they been doing?

Wish we heard less about Mace and Boebert and more about all the Republican reps overtly, unabashedly protecting pedophiles.

Collecting these to send along to Senate Democrats. You don't need to give your name or contact info and if you do, I won't pass it along.

this felt too informative not to share

Hi all, would you perchance like to read my book for free?

One of my favourite novels of the last few years. Pick it up.

Whoa, I didn't see this coming! Is the party of 'Drown American Gov't in Bathtub' and 'Be Terrified of the US Government's Help' an enemy of the United States government?

In retrospect, Republicans were correct about media bias against them. For thirty years, I thought they were spouting nonsense--or playing the refs. But they were right, and I was wrong.

A young brilliant friend of mine. Publishers will be fighting over them one day!

Witchcraft. Fuck writing, I'm turning this into a full-time Jackie Venson fan account. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejf_...

Holy shit. I've been trying to find some Goodness in these trying times and stumbled on this and how have I never heard of Jackie Venson? Shockingly wonderful. Good lord. www.youtube.com/watch?v=abOT...

So weird that the same people who are rabidly against anti-racism and frothingly against anti-fascism are also now opposed to No Kings I did not see that coming.

The antifascists are really getting out of control.

Who is the single most vindictive, unforgiving Democratic elected official? I need to know who to give all my money to.

So I see that the party of Big Government, those nanny state regulation-loving, don't-drown-the-govt-in-a-bathtub Democrats have ... shut down the Big Government again.

"The current Court’s jurisprudence amounts to this: We are a nation of laws and have a system of checks and balances. Unless the President really, really wants to do it … and he’s a Republican." We all know that, but Josh Marshall looks at the next steps: talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-c...

I know everything is trash but books are still good. My book is up for pre-order and id be grateful if you want to read it 🥺 will link to a few places in thread

every time the "litfic is bad because it's all about professors and their boners" discourse arises like a shambling zombie, I wonder what these people are reading. every lit fic novel I pick up is like "a WOMAN goes on a MADCAP adventure featuring SENTIENT MUSHROOMS and a masters thesis!"

I feel like you’ve already entered the political fray by having political advisors.

How come nobody informed me about instagram’s capacity as a mortification-vector directed at one’s children? Instagramps.

The prevailing public understanding of a “good magic system” is a “grok-able magic system.” This is basic and boring, and fewer authors should be trying to emulate Brandon Sanderson.

They are not ‘undead’ they are 'decoffinated.'

The world is tough, but I just discovered Judith Hill and my faith is a bit renewed. If you haven’t heard her, you’re welcome. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0JG...

A writerfriend just mercilessly bullied me into ordering GUNK by Saba Sams from the UK. Apparently it’s too good to wait for. So considering this my attempt to pay the bullying forward. Get gunk!

The male loneliness epidemic is so severe that two like-minded fellas can’t even bond over misogyny, authoritarianism, and destroying the US gov’t.

authors having to write newsletters is a form of violence against unborn novels

When my therapist said I was starting to develop 'metacognition' I briefly thought 'superpower?' but alas, it is just recognizing my own bullshit.

ASUNDER fans assemble! Hm. Though I guess if we want to be true to the title, we should all fall apart.

What kind of maniac wants FIFTEEN friends?

Neil Gorsuch told some of the most obvious, farcical, easily debunked lies I can remember a justice telling. I promise you could spend an hour trying to guess what he says is a picture of a “sex worker” in a children’s book, and not get anywhere close. ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/pride...
