"What happened?" "I’m stuck. It's so embarrassing." “I guess things went... a-rye?” “Please do shut up.” "You should get out of the sun." "Why?" "Otherwise, you'll be toast." "You're an asshole, Charlie." “You’re right, you deserve butter.”

Criticizing Israel is not antisemitic, because Israel and Judaism are not one and the same. Here’s proof:

The president of Iran has written a letter to the citizens of the United States. It’s not a crazy ranting speech intended to bully us, like we get from our own government. It comes across as a very honest appeal to rethink our actions. thoughtportal.org/2026/04/02/f...

It's always a delight when a reviewer enjoys your characters as much as you do. US residents can win a copy of Missing by commenting at the end of the review, but hurry up as there's a deadline. www.krlnews.com/2026/03/miss...

Much love and respect to Chanda for all her work and powerful navigating through this mapless, impossible terrain. Support her upcoming book and go see her on tour

I have more than a dozen reasons to deeply admire @chanda.blacksky.app , but the one I'm choosing to honor today is her refusal to hide the costs of her values. A dear friend often reminds me that our values should cost us something, but folks get uncomfortable actually hearing what we lose.

I made a childhood dream come true when I joined the Royal Navy but it wasn’t all plain sailing as I was due in court the day I joined up… Read these raw and gritty memoirs to find out about the rascal I was before, during and after my service… amzn.eu/d/eRr5gYU
