Dear Internet, my author website is currently on WordPress, but I'm contemplating Ghost -- anyone have experience using that platform?

TLDR

I broke my brain a bit trying to remember ye old video games of my youth, but here they are in no particular order:

This month's newsletter now features an anticapitalism tangent. You're welcome in advance. beccacoffindaffer.com/contact/

Boldest move will be for Los Angeles to cancel the Olympics rather than submit to this 1936 horseshit. Yank the entire event as a stark and historic emergency flare shot up into the sky.

Cornyn Says F.B.I. Will Help Find Texas Lawmakers Who Fled State

Hey, Texas friends?

Time to raise hell over this. This is not the purpose of the FBI, and the idea that Cornyn even brought this up is an abuse of federal power.

Yes, it is. The Democratic states have no other choice than to protect them.

There IS precedent for this rogue behavior: the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. That is almost how this terrible admin is treating the flight of the Texas legislators.

We can't let them.

I am now torn on whether to watch it or avoid it because I'm already haunted by the thought of evil roombas...

Everybody laughs when I say I don't want a Roomba because I grew up on Terminator movies, but I feel like my logic continues to be sound...

What I especially love about this review is that it puts THE MERCY MAKERS in conversation with other books, which is part of the point of literature! It's a big conversation. <3

They’re so jealous you can write.
They’re so jealous you can draw.
They’re so jealous you can make music.

They have all the money in the world, but they’ve been driven insane because they don’t have your joy.

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?

HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

Eight months is too far out to already be having book marketing stress dreams about THE BLOODY AND THE DAMNED... #Booksky #Authorsky

Happy book birthday to THE CRYSTAL CROWN, by @tessagratton.bsky.social! Fan favorites Jecki and Yord from The Acolyte get their own story!

Graphic displaying a collage of nine squares. The eight squares along the border of the graphic show close-up illustrations and images taken from book covers belonging to books about disability justice. At the center of the collage is a blank white square containing the title, “18 Books about Disability Justice”.

The time for disability justice, as it always has been, is now.

Disability justice underlines and ties together all anti-oppression movements. If you want to learn more about #DisabilityJustice and how you can support disabled communities, any of these 18 books would be a good place to start!

Is he paying attention, though? Or distracted by a Rook...?

NOT THE PIERCINGS 🥵

Hulk Hogan, guy who helped Peter Thiel destroy Gawker, dead at 71.

Oh so....it's also available to request on @netgalley.bsky.social already: www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

Feeling so chill and cool and normal about that. #booksky @fiercereads.bsky.social

"We'd like universal healthcare and affordable housing and for billionaires and corporations to pay taxes."

"We can't do any of that, but we CAN make it possible for your boss to invade one of your final safe spaces."

Fantastic. What excellent news.

Thank you! It's been through so many title changes over the years, and none came anywhere close to fitting as well as this one.

THE BLOODY AND THE DAMNED but make it vibes...

Their Water Taps Ran Dry When Meta Built Next Door

Some places will have to start rationing water - to enable AI slop.

"A data center like Meta’s, which was completed last year, typically guzzles around 500,000 gallons of water a day. New data centers [will] require millions of gallons of water a day"
