Close all but one lane on Lake Shore Drive and it will take *forever* to get anywhere (ask me how I know).

Super-cute photo of Dave, a 10-lb tan and white chihuahua mix, sleeping like a cozy boy with his nose tucked into his paw.

When he sleeps like this I have to physically stop myself from waking him up and just squeezing the heck out of him.

Dave says he had a wonderful time! I say the same!

A square yellow-gold graphic with golden flourishes in the corners. The Big Bad Wolf cover is on the right side, featuring a white man's bare torso with wolf eyes and claw marks superimposed over it. The following excerpt text is to the left: Christ. She still didn’t get it. Refused to get it. Like a Brave Little Social Justice Toaster. Of course he belonged in jail. “You want me to tell you they made us into killing machines. That they put this monster in me. Doc, it ain’t nothin’ that wasn’t already there. I’m not different. I’m Death. And I chose this.” “I don’t believe that.” She stared at him, eyes full of fierce anger and unshed tears. All those weeks ago, she’d wanted him to use a PTSD defense. Maybe she was the one who needed it. Maybe the trauma of the past few days was finally getting to her. “I won’t believe that. That is not the man I’ve gotten to know.” Joe barked out a laugh. “That’s probably every man you know. Look at this world. Look at those cages on the border. People keep saying ‘This isn’t us’ and ‘This isn’t America,’ but it is. It’s who we’ve always been. You know that even more than I do.”

BIG BAD WOLF's my 2021 trad debut. It's a riff on the Punisher, set in a paranormal version of our current reality. It's $8.99 in both ebook and print. I don't see much in royalties, but I feel like I certainly saw the future.

WHERE were they all going???

(Why Google when you can Ask Suleikha?)

Is TOP SECRET the movie with the song "How Silly Can You Get?" or am I thinking of something else?

FUCK JAMES CARVILLE AND GAVIN NEWSOM

#TransRightsAreHumanRights

That's what I want, I think. To have my vote counted on such and such side of an issue. I've been emailing for a while, but suddenly social media is making me feel like it's pointless.

Do emails to Senators work at all? I mean original text (not a form letter) sent via the Senator's website contact form. Neither of my Senators have after hours voicemail (I don't think) so I'm wondering if my messages are just going into the void?

EXACTLY.

Because god hates me and also does not exist.

Extra toasty gives me heartburn for some reason. Which is too bad because they are extra tasty.

Also, here's Dave.

Regular cheez-its or extra cheesy or white cheddar grooves? I truly can't decide which is superior.

Ha! I read this really quickly and I was like, that's so sweet, she's looking for a place for us to bring Dave! Then I *actually* read it, and you know what? You're right.

I always get so embarrassed at awards show speeches. Why do I watch these shows???

CEJ- Advocates in the Workplace The balance of power in the workplace has long favored employers, making justice an uphill battle for employees facing unfair treatment. Legal costs, complex regulations, and employer tactics often deter workers from asserting their rights. The Center for Employment Justice (CEJ) was founded to change this—empowering employees through fearless advocacy and strategic legal action. Justice is more than settlements; it’s about vindicating rights, protecting dignity, and driving systemic change. With deep expertise in employment law, we counter employer roadblocks and ensure financial barriers don’t stand in the way. Every employee who fights back strengthens protections for all, and at CEJ, we relentlessly pursue fair outcomes, change lives, and reshape workplace law.

I repeat, if you or a loved one was recently fired from the federal government during your probationary period, and the reason you were given was poor performance,

please reach out to us at www.centerforemploymentjustice.com.

We have a plan and may be able to help you.

Omg the fake camera flashes.

BIG BAD WOLF is a wild, sexy ride and TIKKA CHANCE ON ME is literally a perfect novella. Get them all!

Boo, Nazis.

I shall neither confirm nor deny (but yes).

Good news! I only have one left and need to buy more this weekend...

I THOUGHT THE SAME THING. What is wrong with us??

Quite rightly. 🎵🎵🎵
