Biggest writing challenge I've had to overcome last few years is regaining confidence in myself: confidence that I can fix shitty series of first attempts. I started last book over like 50 times. This one,I'm keeping scene bones I know are good and going over it again, and again, til it gets clearer

El elemento más violento en la sociedad es la ignorancia.

EMMA GOLDMAN

Escritora, activista, feminista, pacifista...
Una de las fundadoras del anarcofeminismo, que desafía al patriarcado como una jerarquía a la que hay que resistir. El FBI la consideraba "la mujer más peligrosa de América".

After viewing the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota- he then proceeds to lie about EVERYTHING in it, aside from the fact that it is, indeed, "a horrible thing to watch."

Tracing the long history of abortion and criminalisation Despite a flawed analysis of women's oppression, In Abortion—A History by Mary Fissell widens the discussion around decriminalisation.

A review of Mary Fissel's book "Abortion—A History", by the Socialist Worker. They recommend the book but criticize her position that patriarchy is the cause of women’s oppression, claiming that it's "class society" that's had the biggest impact on women’s reproductive rights.

Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!

Plato Has Been Censored; What Next? PEN America condemns and calls absurd Texas A&M censoring Plato readings and discussions related to race and gender

The works of Plato are now being banned at schools in the United States.

Tell me again how censorship is a European problem? 🤔

Whoever said, "You can never have too many books" never had to move.

That moment when you get too impatient waiting for dinner that you start eating a different dinner while you wait...

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.

Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.

This is why we must fix the system.

William A Goldsborough @WmAG V Telling people to 'live within their means' is pissing me off. People are living in tents, vehicles, and shelters while working full time jobs. You cant out-budget an economy that turns basic necessity into a luxury. Stop saying that sh*t to people.

The doctors chosen by a criminal fraud who knowingly surrounded himself with criminals willing to lie, commit crimes, and fall on a grenade for him said he's in good mental health, so that should totally be "okay" for everyone to believe. Right.

A friend in baseball once told me:

It's amazing how far away spring training feels on Dec. 31 ...

And how close it feels on Jan. 1

Just to prove that ...

The first spring training game of 2026 is 7 weeks from today!

Feel warmer yet?

My favorite in the Paul McCartney photo exhibit, Ringo setting up and rehearsing for the Ed Sullivan show.

The difference between Republicans and Dems?

Republicans demanded the release of the Epstein files when they believed the lie that it was all Dems in them.

Once they learned that Trump is probably all over them they started blaming the victims.

ON DEM POLLSTERS: “Their collective diagnosis is blunt: The Democratic Party has too often resisted the economic populism that—as its own data has shown for years—wins elections… repeatedly retreated into an outdated vision of centrism...” open.substack.com/pub/libertya...

Portrait photograph of Dana Ulery, a pioneering American computer scientist and the first female engineer hired at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The black-and-white image shows a middle-aged woman with shoulder-length, voluminous wavy hair styled with soft curls framing her face, wearing pearl earrings, a white collared shirt, and a dark jacket. She is smiling warmly at the camera against a plain, light-colored studio background.

Dr. Dana Ulery was born #OTD in 1938.

In 1961, Ulery became the first woman engineer at the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab, where she designed automation real-time tracking systems for the Ranger & Mariner space missions. #WomenInSTEM #computerscience

All these doctors going on TV and posting on social media their comments that Trump’s self-medicating regimen and diet are unhealthy just need to mind their own business and let the man do his own research.

You can’t fix a narcissist—especially a malignant one. You win by going *no contact*, refusing their bait, denying them reaction or access. Detach, document, disengage. Starve the ego, feed your peace.

"Several times a year, doctors ask me if I can tell the difference between a giraffe and a whale because they are so sure I am not in cognitive decline!"

He is so stupid he doesn't realize that the *only* reason he is asked to take this test (repeatedly) is that his doctors note cognitive decline.

A rough year for journalists in 2025, with a little hope for things to turn around Worldwide, the 126 media industry people killed in 2025 by early December matched the number of deaths in all of 2024, and last year was a record-setter.

2025 took a toll on the world’s journalists. "Worldwide, the 126 media industry people killed in 2025 by early December matched the number of deaths in all of 2024.... The [CPJ] estimates there are at least 323 journalists imprisoned worldwide." www.courthousenews.com/a-rough-year...

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like:

“Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”
