Nothing makes me want to barf more than the C suite at a company trying to sound like they care about their workers. They don't.

‘The Harvest’ is a Godless Top 10.

Who says sci-fi and extreme horror can’t mix?

The average household lost more than $1,000 to Trump's tariffs.

Now the Court has spoken: this was unlawful all along.

The President owes you an apology - and a refund.

Adult Anti-Trans Legal Risk Assessment Map of the United States. Florida, Kansas, and Texas are marked "Do Not Travel" with dark crosshatched shading. Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming are dark red for "Worst Laws Passed." Georgia, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Montana, and South Carolina are orange for "High Risk Within 2 Years." Alaska, Kentucky, and North Carolina are salmon/pink for "Moderate Risk Within 2 Years." Arizona, Delaware, Maine, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wisconsin, and DC are light blue for "Low Risk Within 2 Years." California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington are teal for "Safest States With Strong Protections." Youth Anti-Trans Legal Risk Assessment Map of the United States. Florida, Kansas, and Texas are marked "Do Not Travel" with dark crosshatched shading. The majority of states are dark red for "Worst Active Anti-trans Laws." Montana, Nebraska, Alaska, and several others are orange for "High Risk Within 2 Years." States including California, Colorado, New York, and other previously protective states are now light peach for "Moderate Risk Within 2 Years," reflecting the update that no state is considered low risk for transgender youth. No states appear in low-risk or protective categories.

1. My newest Anti-Trans Legal Risk Map is here.

For trans adults, Kansas is the newest "Do Not Travel" warning, only the 3rd state to achieve that warning.

For youth, a change to the map increases risk to Medium in many states.

Nationwide risk remains extreme.

Grief is weird. 10 years ago I hugged my Papa for the last time. The last few years this day has been "okay", but today I'm struggling HARD. Knowing I'll be going through this again in about 2 weeks for my cousin is wreaking havoc on my mental state.

I hate the doodie diaper wannabe dictator so fricking much and if you voted for him, I do not respect you.

Just a friendly reminder.

Diving into fictional horrors for a minute instead of the real-life horrors of the United States these days.

Thank you to all the authors who allow us a brief reprieve to maintain as much sanity as possible.

I'm almost done with book 2 of The Magicians Trilogy. Have been reading fantasy mostly to be in a completely different world...

Donate to Support for Ian, Madden, and Alize After Loss, organized by Shandell Potrykus Unfortunately my oldest brother Joe Spinnato passed away on January 14… Shandell Potrykus needs your support for Support for Ian, Madden, and Alize After Loss

We lost my cousin Joe unexpectedly this week, if anyone is so inclined to donate to his cremation and memorial fund, that would be awesome. He has 3 kids (young adults - 20, 19, and just turned 18) who, understandably, aren't in a position to handle this on their own.

Organ donation is so cool. When you're staring down the barrel of losing a loved one, the fact that their death may save multiple lives is so incredibly comforting! 💔💟

One of my current reads 😊

As a mood reader, I always have multiple books going at one time so I have no excuse not to read something. My way of avoiding "I'm not feeling that story right now".

Anyone else a multi-book mood reader?

For 2026, I'm moving away from Goodreads. It's not a good platform and I'm trying to avoid supporting the 'zon.

I've been using @thestorygraph.com since 2024 and love it. Started with @pagebound.bsky.social for 2026 since they offer different and wonderful things. Highly recommend both!!

Our local library changed their hours starting 1/1. Lots of people didn't realize which meant there was a whole ass line of people waiting to get in this morning, and it made my little nerd heart so so happy!

Support your library, y'all! 📚📖

I'm in a book hangover thanks to the brilliance of N.K. Jemisin 😫

I fear I may never read the same after experiencing The Broken Earth Trilogy

I love a slow Sunday morning, especially when there's snow involved. Nothing is better than curling up with a great book and a good coffee when the outside world is less than desirable.

Book 3!

I'm fairly certain I've never read more than 2 books in a series consecutively without needing a break...until now.

I'm already sad this signals the end, but know there are many more adventures to come in these pages.

I'm angry at myself it took me so long to dive into #TheBrokenEarthTrilogy but I'm also disappointed it means I can never again read it for the first time 😫

Me: I hate kids.

Also Me: Spends hours playing with my friends' baby just to hear that sweet sweet bebe giggle.

It's better than crack. Not that I'd know about crack, but it's better than pretty much anything else in the world.

Perfection 🩷

My mental health has not been great lately, so I'm taking a day filled with books and nostalgic movies; planning to crawl into other worlds and give myself a much needed break.
