I for one, would not announce that I’d addressed mental health issues with AI in the same email where I rolled out new erotica guidelines, but maybe that’s just me.

Lots of us have great-grandparents names who were absolutely changed when they came here, and when people say otherwise, they're assuming your great-grandparents name was in the Roman alphabet.

A queer 56-year-old loser with a voice like sex. A brown Millennial writer searching for answers. A bit of inspiration from Springsteen, Kevin Bacon, and Hozier. It's NOBODY'S BARGAIN but it might be your jam. My alter ego's latest is just $2.99. Buy links: books2read.com/u/bxD0no

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning: www.burnsnotice.com/you-have-to-...

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

This is the way.

You procrastinate, and then you write the fucking paper the way the gods and nature intended. Several hours before it's due, high off either caffeine, nicotine, sugar, drugs, and PANIC. Fuck AI.

Billionaires force Bari Weiss on us, so I donated to @boltsmag.org It is an essential media resource in times like now boltsmag.org/donate-page/...

livestreamed fact checking. good use of real-time fire data and camera feeds.

It was a good one

Gorgeous moonrise over Mt. Hood tonight. 🏔️🌕

The updates on my fundraiser are a time capsule but if you've been half paying attention, I am provisionally licensed in WI, but completing the last births I need to get licensed in IL, which is kinda important since I've planted my Winifred-flag in Chicagoland, and y'all are permanently stuck w/me.

lots of people know Łink from what he did to promote alt text usage here. this tip about pretending you’re describing an image over the phone has been burned in my brain since i saw it

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Congress has not authorized the use of military force.

Happy Sunday. Have a snack. (Not me, a different snack.) 🤭

Portland never stops being Portland.

Most war movies Donnie Darko.

Slay the spire is probably closest at 111.

My bar association created their own awards ceremony/event (because you're not a real bar association if you don't have one), and my *main selling point* was I was going to keep the speeches short, and there wasn't going to be a rubber chicken meal. There are so many of these things.

Ray from Car Talk is still alive, let's set him loose

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

Perimenopause is really hastening this transformation.

Be the Mothman you wish to see in the world

See, this is what I’ve been hoping for (understanding that the loss of funds will impact rural communities, etc) I haven’t been able to listen for years. There was a specific moment during Trump I where they had a Republican on who was both sidesing kids in cages. I started screaming at the…

I... was not prepared. Alt text: Video is of Zendaya. In the first frame, her back is turned, and she is walking away from the camera. She's wearing a shimmering silver shift that hits well above her mid-thigh. In the very next frame, she turns provocatively towards the camera,

Seriously. To me, this is a real glimmer of something that has potential, particularly given that they're trying to be proactive. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjzF...

So many hot takes about who will win/lose the shutdown, but so little discussion about what's at stake. The stakes here are whether Congress makes the law or the president can rule by diktat. Everything else is commentary.

Great choice by the director too, if only by recognizing what Kidman was giving him. (I'm guessing it's more than that- the camera work is great in these scenes.)

Beautiful.

I still dream of my alternate life where I stated a paramedic/firefighter. I’d have been able to retire 2 years ago. In this life? Not sure when I’ll be able to make that happen.

Yall!!! I went in to sign some books and they were putting these out. Fresh out the box! There’s a new one.

I'm sorry. This proclamation just comes too closely on the heels of all of us seeing his prowess with a skateboard. It's all I can see.

During my second year of college (1998) (I'm sure it wasn't every afternoon, but in memory, it feels like it was), I'd come home from class in the afternoon, and watch, in the following order: -Golden Girls, -Designing Women, -Ellen. It was glorious.

I have used these for a few years because they're really helpful for my ADHD, but I'm replacing them immediately with something more secure.

Quest for Glory 4, shadows of darkness.

we do need this one on T-shirts actually

The most telling statistic I have ever hear is that poverty decreased during the pandemic heights because we were just doing direct payments. We basically had a national UBI pilot and ditched it because Biden wanted to restore status quo ante instead of leading a 21st century New Deal transformation

I probably should post about this more because we could really use the help but also I would rather walk into traffic than ask for help most of the time, so you know, that's a thing. BUT! We have some ebook bundles & a few of our ebooks that aren't widely available!
