“Gavin Newsom supports trans inequality” there i fixed it

I'm other words, It's doing what romance has done for publishing since forever.

What you need is a re-read. These books are SO satisfying on a re-read.

Who's your favorite WNBA player, Gavin? And you can't say Caitlin Clark.

Happy upcoming anniversary!

She puts on the grief and trauma audiobook to fall asleep to? I am fascinated by your wife, and also terrified.

The child soldier house is as much a trauma factory as the Ninth.

I can feel another Locked Tomb re-read coming. I've been waiting for Alecto announcement to do it, but as the Alectopause goes on, the need grows.

If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.

Her and Alecto AND her and Cassie.

I do, and I think the pivot to video movement in podcasts is bullshit (as much bullshit as it was in news, back in the day), largely based on youtube being a huge platform for audio podcasts.

This is horrific.

It is also just the verified numbers. Estimates for the real numbers are orders of magnitude higher.

In my version, the Sixth House cousins and the OG Lyctors (specifically Cassiopeia and Anastasia) take up much more space.

my hot writing take is that playing with POV is neat and you can do what you want. present tense first! close third! first-person-direct-address with bits of omniscient third! anything is legal if you look good doing it!!

She's just... and I say this from my perspective as an ancient... she's just such a good kid.

Also, we share having blocked out large portions of our childhoods due to trauma and adhd.

Mainstream America: We are obsessed with Heated Rivalry and Drag Race. We love them and can't get enough.
American Democrat politicians: LGBT people are not culturally normal. We will not speak of them.

YouTube video by Rolling Stone Alysa Liu Joins The Rolling Stone Interview: ‘If I Didn’t Hit Rock Bottom, I Could Not Have Gone Up’

This Alysa Liu interview is excellent. Her childhood and teen years were stolen from her, and the way she was able to take ownership of her life and her artistry is just so impressive.

I didn't tell you because I didn't know and because that sounds like too much work.

Today I learned

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY TO ALL WOMEN!!!!*

*trans women are women
*also every woman, who is Whitney Houston

That first statement seems to be a lie, considering the rest.

Because, sometimes, the universe is kind.

I mean, it's dense, but in a hidden way. Tamsyn Muir put in a bunch of brain bombs meant to go off specifically on a reread. Or on a reread after reading multiple books.

There are no throwaway moments. Even the meme jokes aren't throwaway!

Stunning!

Counterpoint: You should read the Locked Tomb. Or reread if you've read.

I knew what book you were talking about in the previous skeet, and wanted to agree with the reading order, except I'd maybe add more rereads.

I would appreciate it if my former country and my current neighbor to the south would STOP ACTING LIKE CARTOON VILLAINS.

The idiocy and evil are over the top, but the human death and suffering caused by them are very real.

Wow it's almost like raining bombs and oil onto people makes them hide inside instead of making them run out to support you.

This fucking ghoul
