Very happy that my story Frank is included in this edition of Punk Noir Press. You should read it because:
1. It’s about a dog.
2. It’s 300 words long.
3. The dog doesn’t die.

Not only is Trump undermining the First Amendment, he’s bragging about it.
I miss all this and ten years of progress on race and gender diversity, climate change, housing the unhoused, treating the sick and every little thing that makes humans humane. He and his grifting troll sycophants have bled our lives for ten years. They’re a blight.

So much great writing here.
FIGHTING WORDS, the anthology with my story A FIGHTING LIFE, got some praise from Kirkus for its peerless audio version!
This weekend, read a book. Any book. A serious book. A frivolous book. A cozy book. A bodice ripper. A fantasy escape. An old favorite. A new release. Go to a library or bookstore, pick five that seem interesting, read all the first pages, then take the one that grabs your interest the most.

Looks we’re in the beginnings of yet another Red Scare, and this Texas jury just handed the government the keys to prosecute us
Plan accordingly, and don’t let this deter you from doing good antifascist work. Solidarity with the Prairieland defendants
Judging from the preview, next week’s episode of “The Pitt” deals with heavily armed kidnappers, who are part of a terrorist organization, invading the Emergency Department.

They’re bunkering down to avoid the guillotines.
Have you ever wished for a return to the days of 22-episode TV seasons?
I haven't.
But the extreme brevity - six episodes or even fewer - of today's series have me looking back fondly.

Drunk or psycho?
Instead of spending money to find new authors with new ideas, let’s keep spraying edges on books that were popular ten years ago and keep the same ten people on the best sellers list.
Ummmm
It's Friday the 13th! Did you know that I write mildly scary, incredibly silly romcoms as Hazel Graves?

It’s that kind of day when my phone doesn’t even bother to send me individual notifications of all the items on my Reminders list. “You have 9 new reminders.” Thanks dude.
Oh, and by the way, do you know anybody who wants a werewolf coming-of-age story? Lol.
I’ve got a folder full. I try them again somewhere else and often find takers because this is all subjective.
I wonder if he ever thinks about how he's the most hated person on earth and when he dies his grave will be a mass urinal
Thanks, Susan.

Hana is sure she’s the chosen one, meant to save the world, even if her magic is resisting her and the previous chosen one insists she isn’t. Pursued by enemies, she must learn if this is her destiny or if it was a mystical mistake. #questpit #F #A #Q #agentguide

Trump is in the Epstein files 38,000 times.
Trump wrote to Epstein about their “wonderful secret.”
Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet (and lied.)
