A hand holding two Halloween-themed horror books in front of a bookshelf filled with spooky and horror novels. The left book is Mischief Night Massacre by Jason Parent, with a dark cover showing a shadowy figure with a glowing pumpkin face. The right book is Autumncrow by Cameron Chaney, featuring a skeleton scarecrow holding a jack-o’-lantern under a full moon.

Two of my favorite Halloween reads 🎃👻 Autumncrow by Cameron Chaney + Mischief Night Massacre by Jason Parent. Short stories, big spooky vibes.

After 14 years of GOP control, Oklahoma is:
❌ Among the sickest
❌ Among the least educated
❌ Among the most violent
❌ Among the poorest

We made ALL FOUR lists.
Republicans aren’t fixing it—they’re causing it.

Oklahoma deserves better.

Well, death is a universal constant. Everything will die eventually.

I died 50 years ago.
I was driving my car when it was struck by lightning 35 years ago.
Some say third time’s a charm.
Others say 3 on a match.

No worries.

So do we address Mike Johnson as “Mr. Non-Speaker”?

“Republicans will stop at nothing to control women.” Fixed it for you, Senator.

I’m a low level empath and I had to put it down before I even got halfway through. I kept throwing up. I purposely bought the hard bound edition so I could donate it to the local public library.

1. Purchased the book in hardback and donate it to the general collection. (I do this).
2. If a Friends Of The Library (charitable fundraising group) exists, join it.
3. Join the Board.
4. Volunteer.
5. Get to know your librarians.

Yes. All of these.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

DOGE staffer set to replace admiral leading Navy’s research office The senior head of a Navy office that helps organize critical research and funding for the service has been replaced by a 33-year-old former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employee who …

What could possibly go wrong.

Friday's local newscast: one church in Atlanta had 2,000, yes TWO THOUSAND people in line to get a box of food. They ran out before they could help everyone. Food banks around the state are saying the same thing. (GA's governor refuses to use any part of the state's *large* surplus to help.)

As long as the reader is not an empath. I DNF because I kept internalizing the trauma. Incredibly brave young woman. I donated my copy to the local public library.

'Atrociously unsafe': ICE contractor leaves gun unattended in Tacoma hospital bathroom KING 5 confirmed an ICE contractor from the Northwest ICE Processing Center left a gun in a hospital bathroom. Police were called when the gun was discovered.

Reason #34,761 ICE should not be allowed in care settings/schools/anywhere.

The level of violent incompetence displayed by ICE is staggering.

Me, too.

It was a wasp (insect, non political). In the house. I’m allergic. It was whacked (I apologized) with the flyswatter and deposited in the trash bin.

We’re getting multiple reports that independents in Chester County, Pennsylvania (a Democratic-leaning area) have been left off the voter rolls. They’re being told to fill out provisional ballots, the same ones MAGA often tries to claim shouldn’t be counted.
