Like last #Halloween and the one before, Jeff taped a key to the back of each hand, shouldered his backpack, and placed a penny under his tongue.
When the coin tasted like blood in his mouth, he opened the door and stepped out into the darkness in search of his forgotten sister.

The image from Courier Newsroom headline reads: β€œRep-elect Adelita Grijalva is now the longest Rep-elect in history to not be sworn in. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear in Rep-elect Grijalva over fear of releasing the Epstein files.”
The picture shows Grijalva in a red jacket beside Speaker Mike Johnson.

Each stride was extreme effort, like fighting the tide.
But the golden light grew stronger and brighter, until it was a blazing #ray linking Koan to the star across the void.
To Matthias.
To his love.
STOP, the Voice demanded.
β€œAs long as I breathe, I won’t let anyone harm him,” Koan swore.

Wrija tapped her arm. β€œIt’s time… your Eminence.”
β€œYou are the worst,” Amer said.
β€œAs you say, Eminence,” she replied, smirking.
The doors opened, and Amer strode forward into the grand hall. As glittering #argent stars danced around her, thousands of assembled gods gasped at her radiance.

AOC To Anti-Trans Swimmer Riley Gaines: "Maybe If You Channeled All This Anger Into Swimming Faster You Wouldn’t Have Come In Fifth." Riley Gaines has turned a 5th place finish into a national conservative platform against transgender rights.

1. AOC scathingly rebuked anti-trans activist Riley Gaines Monday in the form of a single sentence.

"Maybe if you channeled all this anger into swimming faster you wouldn’t have come in fifth."

Its part of a new wave of Dems being fearless on trans rights.

β€œYou don’t know what it’s like,” Koan said.
Remy felt the snap. β€œI don’t?! Gods, must be nice knowing everything. What’d you think that assassin was, the day I adopted your bitchy ass? *AN #EXPERIMENT!* He was like me once! That’s why they *hunt* Fallens like me, you arrogant fcvking prick.”

From the NYT morning newsletter:

β€œSeven tech companies now account for more than a third of the value of the S&P 500 and trade at prices 70 times higher than their earnings, on average.”

Doesn’t seem like a healthy way to structure an entire economy.

Cannot amplify this enough: THERE ISN’T SOME MAGICAL MONEY TREE JUST DUMPING HEALTHCARE DOLLARS ON PEOPLE. You *must* have a documented status to receive benefits from federal and state governments. Period.

Any statement to the contrary is either 1) ignorance or 2) rampant bigotry.

β€œCommander Leiv Volkov. He came here six years ago; it got much worse,” Kresvac said, taking a long pull on her antique Vapo*.
β€œWhat’s happening now?” Remy asked.
β€œViolence. Drugs. Indefinite servitude. Girls and boys disappear in the night-β€œ
β€œHe’s a fcvking #creep; a predator,” Sofiya said.

β€œWe’ll have to wait then,” Remy said with a grumpy sigh.
β€œWait?!” Matthias sputtered. β€œWhy would we wait?”
β€œIt’s Rastulon,” Remy replied. Seeing the confusion on their faces, β€œIt’s a holy festival. Ships won’t fly until the #heliacal rise of their cardinal star. We’d be spotted immediately.”

If voting has begun in your area, please don’t delay.

WA voters, you can register in person up to Election Day. If you already have your ballot, return it to a drop box as soon as possible.

All races matter. Northshore SD, you have a transphobe running for school district board. Please vote!

In total silence, the Angel exploded forward, cutting through the air mere centimeters above the dirt, a blur of motion that left only a plume of dust and an orange fallen-star trail from its halo.
Far off, Koan heard the collective noise of alarm and #terror, and then the avenue went quiet.

β€œI met a mortal from a different universe once.”
β€œHow did you know?” Koan asked.
β€œWe all appeared suddenly on a ship, unlike anything we’d ever seen, so I took his word for it. He called us #martians.”
β€œA what?”
Matthias laughed. β€œNo idea. But it’s such a funny word, so I started using it.”

This shouldn’t be possible, she thought, heartbeat given over to panic. But there was no Light in the prison Koan now held her in: it was some #unseen force defying the natural laws.
Amer stared at the mortal and realized that his aura did not dance with Light.
Is this the power of the Dark?

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.
