I spent tonight working on a quick idea I had for International Women’s Day because I’m always last minute!

Elon Musk new haircut next to villain from the fifth element movie.

If we don’t laugh we’ll cry. But damn. It’s a straight up villain hair cut. 🤣😭

It wasn’t transgender mice they “created” It was transgenic mice we use to study diseases.🤣😭 BTW, the prefix trans does not just refer to gender. It’s used in a lot of different terms. Stop flipping out the moment you hear or read a word that starts with trans.🙄

Social Security is on the chopping block and is being “actively dismantled” by DOGE according to several insiders (Musk wants to end it and has said as much). Call your reps and try to convince them to do something before teenagers with laptops hack it to bits.

Anyone else walking around with this level of rage?

Today the child wanted to go shopping to spend Christmas money. We hit up local thrift stores and second hand toy resellers. They had an adventure, spent money, and we didn’t contribute to the GDP. 😜 I grew up poor. I can do this for eternity b*tches.

I have an audiobook too. It did okay, but it took so much time and energy to put together I wasn’t sure if it would be worth it to move my entire library over to audio.

I need to make sure I have everything moved over to StoryGraph. Thank you for reminding me!

I’m working on getting mine made into audiobooks. Since I do it all myself each one takes 4-6 months. But so many people seem to be moving toward either audiobooks or physical copies I’m just going to have to make it a priority.

Thank you! I’m seeing that more and more. Trying to decide if it’s worth printing more copies up front. A decade ago it was almost exclusively ebooks, but there’s been a shift toward more physical copies.

Question for all the readers out there. Do you mostly do ebooks, physical copies, or audio books? And how do you find out about the books you are interested in? Trying to decide how to proceed from here on out with my book releases. Kitty pic for attention.

It’s good to know I’m not alone. Everything in this horrible mess feels like it is both taking forever and going on hyper speed. And my brain doesn’t know how to process that.

I haven’t crashed out yet. But get me a few more weeks of only sleeping 2-4 Hours a night and I will. 😭

Mental Health check in. It’s 4 am. Insomnia is in full effect. Anyone else feel like we’re living through a slow motion apocalypse? How’s everyone else doing?

The Anastomosis Series (3 book series) by Kristi Brooks Kindle Edition Midnight Sun Book 1: A detective assigned to track down a serial killer finds himself wrapped up in a case involving a demon hunter, a psychic, and a creature far more evil than he could imagine. Will they be able to stop it before it feeds on more human souls? Midday Moon Book 2: The demon may have been defeated, but at what price? With Evelyn's psychic powers damaged, the underworld council demanding answers, and human police officers looking for explanations they can't understand, Orele and Walden must hold their separate worlds together when it seems like everything is about to come crashing down around them. Binary Stars Book 3: Orele has always had to figure everything out on her own as a demon hunter working outside the normal constraints of society. She thought once she found her other half things would get better, but now she is scrambling through a nighttime blizzard while dragging a comatose Evelyn. Time is running out. The Council is stalking them through the freezing darkness and Det. John Walden is too far away to help. Plus, there’s not much a human could do right now anyway. Will she be able to get them to the top of the mountain so they can have a chance at salvation? Or will the Council and their minions get to them first?

Sooo, I know the world is burning and we are stressed TF out, but I have a book coming out. It’s on Kindle, the paper back and audiobook will be out soon. It’s part 3 in a series. If you want to do a little disassociation via reading check it out. Thanks.

Holy War coming right up. I don’t even believe in the antichrist. But if I were a Christian right now…😬

The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk’s Government Takeover Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.

Of course he is! Their frontal lobes are not developed enough to do anything but go along with whatever the loudest voice in the room is. Their morals are corruptible. And if anything goes wrong, they are the perfect patsies.

THIS IS A COUP! Calling it anything else perpetuates the idea that this is normal behavior. Call it what it 🦆ing is! Side eyeing all dem leaders so 🦆ing hard right now. Where are you while the country is being handed to an oligarch? Why are you not scaling fences like the S. Koreans?

1/23/25 Today's relevant book quote from Night by Elie Wiesel.
"They are committing the greatest indignity human beings can inflict on one another: telling people who have suffered excruciating pain and loss that their pain and loss were illusions."

So, are we going to have any rights left by the end of the week? Asking for a friend…..

I mean…they defunded education so badly they’re hoping we are.

Truly. It breaks my heart.

No, last time he was in office I saw them in my neighborhood waiting just outside the school at pickup time. It’s devastating.

Oklahoma City! I’m seeing reports of ICE Agents on the SW side of OKC by the stockyards! Sharing just in case it helps someone to stay safe. #oklahomacity #ice

I’m pretty sure Bradbury was psychic. Or at least such a good observer of the human condition that he knew we’d eventually end up here.

Sorry to do video form today but the dogs got into the trash and for my ADHD self it’s easier to record a quick vid than to write it out while I clean. Elon was raised by a lover of techno fascism and eugenics who was kicked out of Canada. That salute was absolutely on purpose & you saw what you saw

Today’s relevant quotes are from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein
“Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change” & “If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear!”

I’m going to do a quote a day from dystopian novels for my mental health. Today is Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451:
“You can't make people listen. They have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up around them. It can't last.”
