This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and Minneapolis resident, was murdered by ICE today. He was a lawful gun owner. Our government saw his Second Amendment right as a threat and executed him in the streets.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

#Minneapolis #Minnesota

I want to make this extremely clear -- I live and work in Minneapolis.

THE ONLY VIOLENT ONES HERE ARE ICE.

History will remember us all.

Remember this. He's threatening to use the insurrection act against people standing on street corners BLOWING WHISTLES.

I'm sorry to those who followed me for writing; I would LOVE to be in a place mentally to write right now.

But I can't. I'm a Minneapolitan.

My city is under federal occupation. My neighbors are being kidnapped from their homes and there's too much work to do.

Want to help? SPREAD THE WORD.

The rage that has to exist in the average Minnesotan to watch someone stuck on an icy hill and STAND BY AND TAUNT THEM

A dark day to be a Minneapolitan. My heart aches.

My favorite part of reading is when a book gets so good you have to set it down, (finger marking the page), and just let your mind be blown for a minute before picking it back up again.

THAT FEELING WHEN YOU ACTUALLY FINISH THE DRAFT

Excuse me sir but who even ARE you??? The disrespect --

Happy new year, y'all! May your 2026 be better than 2025 was.

The bar is so low. Please, 2026. Be better. 🥴

"How did you get your start in writing?"

Well, you see, I daydreamed way too much as a little kid and just never really stopped 🥴

I wrote almost every single day this year! I worked so hard on building the habit, and it's been a lot, but I feel like I really put my back into it this year. 🎉

Object personification in autism: This paper will be very sad if you don't read it - PubMed Object personification is the attribution of human characteristics to non-human agents. In online forums, autistic individuals commonly report experiencing this phenomenon. Given that approximately half of all autistic individuals experience difficulties identifying their own emotions, the suggestio …

“Besides,” Ansel continues, “We barely kill any more these days. That guy they found in the swamp was asking for it, but on the whole his majesty likes to keep it humane, and that’s fine. I’m not about to complain. It’s not like any of us ever loved killing. It’s not fun, it’s not sport. But that’s how it goes. Humans kill to eat. So do we.” That’s certainly one way to look at it. It’s a way of making sense of their existence, and it doesn’t exactly disagree with the stories, just frames the distinctly human perspective. No trapper sees themselves as a monster, but if rabbits could tell fairytales all of the villains would probably be human. “Right.” Silas says, ticking down the bullet points on the page. “All that to say,” Ansel says, “We’re not all falling apart at the seams or brooding in dark corners lamenting our miserable existence, or whatever. I’m sorry to have to be the one to tell you this — but eternal life is just life, but longer.”

Working on the last bits of The King in the Mountain this week! Started off today by adding a little polish to this scene. It's one of my favorites: Silas' first interview with a real actual vampire! Ansel doesn't give him the answers he's been hoping for, though.

A young man, Micah, kneels in a field of purple flowers. He holds a bundle of purple flowers in one hand while reaching to gather more with his other hand. He has peach skin, golden hair, and brown eyes. He wears a white shirt, brown pants, and a wide-brimmed straw hat with flowers woven through. Behind him, there is a verdant forest of trees. Bees buzz around the man as he looks down towards his work. The title, Sweet & Wild, is above him and the author’s name, Alex Larkspur, is below him.

I just hit 100k on The King in the Mountain!!!! 🎉

I had to adjust my goal, because I've still got a little left to write (it will probably end up around 105k) -- but overall I am SO proud of this story, and so excited to get to the editing stage soon! Woohoo!

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie.

An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough.

So finish the thing.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🎉 I hope your recovery is smooth!!
