he is SO worried that "Social security is a target" will become a talking point that it is now everyone's moral duty to make it one

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Idk how to explain this, but suggesting that people pirate books that are Kindle-exclusive to "stick it to Bezos" is, in fact, not "sticking it to Bezos".

It's just making it less likely that those authors people claim to like will ever have the financial security to leave the Kindle ecosystem 🤷‍♀️

Never forget.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:

1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;

2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;

3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids.

Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

How To Write Words And Make Art In This Dire Era of Clowns and Cowards If you’re not a person who agrees that we are living through some spectacularly stupid and nasty shit, then I suppose this post isn’t for you. You think things are some variant of norma…

At the blog, some effort to grapple with making art and writing stories when everything is some combination of evil and absurd -- #terribleminds

This.

There was a major play for Egyptology+ archaeology as well. Hitler loved the Nefertiti bust and wanted it to stay in Germany as an inspiration for Aryan beauty ideals. Indiana Jones caught the essence of the Nazi obsession with the past.

Thank you so much! 😊

I would love to be included, thank you! I write cozy mysteries under the pen name Louise Stevens.

I’m so sorry. 😞

'Viruses Are Our Friend'— 10 Off the Wall Video Clips from RFK Jr. Resurface on Bluesky Past comments include denying AIDS and calling vaccinated children "damaged"

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

I love the Miss Silver books!

Thank you so much! I followed everyone too. Trying to build up a community here after leaving the dark side. 😂

I write cozies with female sleuths under the pen name Louise Stevens. Two series, Port Sunset Mysteries and Second Act Cozy Mysteries. Sooo… there’s my new face if you’re still looking. 😊

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well.

Neither do you.

Public health, when it’s working, is invisible.

If you do a second cozy starter pack, I’d love to be included! I write cozies under the pen name Louise Stevens. In the meantime I’ve followed all in this list! Thanks!😊

Here's a useful analogy to share when people ask you why you block so much: Think about who you let into your home. Creepy freaks, weirdos, pervs, sickos etc? Nope. Banned. Social media is your digital condo. You are welcome.

On this day in 1960, a six-year-old Ruby Bridges became the first Black student to attend William Frantz Elementary School, an all-white school in Louisiana.

A mob protested her.

This is not ancient history. Ruby bridges is 70 now.

Of course they do, they can't see over the fucking steering wheel. Accident waiting to happen.

Hi, Simon! I write cozy mysteries under the pen name Louise Stevens. But I was a librarian in a boys middle school for a long time, and your books would’ve been a welcome addition to the collection!

👋🏻 Hi, Hannah! I write cozy mysteries under the pen name Louise Stevens. Welcome!

I tried to teach myself to crochet using YouTube during pandemic lockdown days. It did not go well. I have several thin strips, which could in theory be little tiny scarves for little tiny creatures. Unfortunately, I was trying for bookmarks. Oh, and they were lumpy. I hope you do better! 😂

One of my cousins gave me all of her old ones when she “outgrew” them. I still have them. Never actually did the outgrowing thing. 😂 And now I think of my cozies as Nancy Drew with cocktails and dogs.

Nancy Drew was my gateway cozy drug too! 😂

Thank you so much, Stephanie!
