“We live in a world-historical age of stupid.” How do we get out? A good read on the causes and options.

I feel so honored I got to interview Dr. Jane Goodall for CNET in 2020 about her impressive career & why she believed in the power of hope during trying times. 👱🏻‍♀️🐒❤️ www.cnet.com/science/jane...

I’m 25 people away from 200 followers on Patreon.com/pjholden. Which is brilliant! I should do some sort of digital download reward when we get there. iPhone image backgrounds maybe? Something like that!

I know I say this about a lot of Stephanie's books, but: this is a delight. Which I only say about so many of her books because they all ARE. They're warm and cozy and comforting and funny and charming and sometimes deliciously sexy and I mean really what else could you ask for?

More or less finished a novella yesterday (need to polish & write an epilogue scene that won't actually go in the book), so today is a lot of catching up on email, writing blog posts, and other such et ceteras. It may require a list, bc it's very grey & rainy out & my brain doesn't wanna wake up.

“I think Bette Davis would probably have been burned as a witch if she had lived two or three hundred years ago. She gives the curious feeling of being charged with power which can find no ordinary outlet.” — E. Arnot Robinson, Picture Post magazine on Bette in Dangerous (1935)

No, we definitely did understand that the Care ref was going to enshrine in the constitution the expectation that disabled people would be cared for by relatives and that the government would have no binding responsibilities of their own towards us bsky.app/profile/caro... bsky.app/profile/caro...

If we had the political power and willpower, this country could be fixed. 1. An aggressive inheritance tax. 2. A very high tax on corporate income/profits past a few million dollars. (Different taxes for income vs profit; we don't want to harm low margin industries.

Well. I'm going to be drawing Loomis heads for at least the next five to seven #CatieDraws hours, bc this is Not Easy, and I want to internalize it so I can do it consistently and, y'know, hopefully well, at some point. I may not post again until I've done A Lot, bc it's all going to be samey samey.

I just watched a lil video in which a nature documentary team decided, after two days of tearful indecision, to dig a path out of a ravine that a bunch of penguins had fallen into, so that they could potentially escape. Which the penguins did. I tell you what, man, I would be *bad* at that job.

Come along and read today's SIDEQUESTED, where Charlie is talking to a member of a presumed cult...who seems extremely nice? Or you can start from the beginning, in which she meets a vulture and dragons and a cute princess and a handsome whole-ass dinkus. #comic #comics #webcomic #webcomics

6 years ago, Mexico decided to start giving everyone over age 65 about $300 every two months. They also tripled their minimum wage. The combo dropped their poverty rate by 26%. Poverty is a policy choice. Nations can choose to reduce poverty by investing in their people with universal basic income.

It was really lovely to see A Honeymoon of Grave Consequence (AND A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience) discussed in this @thefantasyhive.bsky.social post of favorite September reads, in such great company! fantasy-hive.co.uk/2025/09/top-...

My necessary wordcount for today is 1423, but if I do 3300 I'll hit 50K for the month. 50K has been my goal every month all year. So far I've hit it once. 😒 I've done 40k+ 5 times, but the other months were in the low 20s*, so my average is ~35K. That extra 15K would make a hell of a difference...

god have mercy on my soul 😭

Taking a moment to imagine the incandescent outrage in the Daily Malice and the rest of the Distraction Media, if other countries demanded British 'expatriates' learn the language to a high standard, volunteer in the community etc, or they'd be uprooted from their lives and shipped back to the UK.

Shit, that reminds me I forgot to opt out of havimg my house burgled this month when the terms and conditions changed.

NYTimes pre-spinning the prosecution of Trump and Trump's allies for their flagrant law-breaking by portraying it as a kind of tit for tat. To be clear, Dem must win the next election and must file criminal charges against members of the current admin. #NYTFuckOff www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/u...
