Tearing down all these hateful, ridiculous banners on government buildings that the regime leader has had installed must be one of the first things we do.

Am also forgiving myself for watching a cooking competition show with a lot of Top Chef alum. After reading most of a book by an admired author today.

Today's good news. MG lit was a joy as a middle school teacher and librarian. I still love it and think it's tricky as can be to do well.

How incredible. Gisèle Pelicot is a heroine for the ages.

Some yahoo followed me, then DM'd what did I think of the current president. Dude, read my feed.

They aren't for everyone, because there are very dark sections, but I hope you enjoy them. I laughed twice with happiness at things that happened to continuing characters today in the upcoming one.

I find Connolly entrancing, a mix of PI (with its humor and hard-boiled) and Irish supernatural, like fireside ghost stories. Every Dead Thing is the first in the long-running series.

Wild how many accounts are popping up blaming Democrats when they are not running any of the three branches of government. We can and now are about to do more to throw spanners in the works, but that's not the same thing.

A home purchase goes wrong in Seattle author’s latest novel Kim Fu, winner of the 2023 Washington State Book Award for fiction, spoke with The Seattle Times ahead of the release of "The Valley of Vengeful Ghosts."

And then the book is compared to EARTHLINGS and BITTER ORANGE. Looking forward to this from @tinhouse.bsky.social. #Booksky

"I think the world is set up these days so that our best interests do not often align with other people’s. And that’s very difficult. You don’t want to distrust people."

From @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social's interview of Kim Fu, whose new novel THE VALLEY OF VENGEFUL GHOSTS publishes Tuesday.

It only takes a couple minutes to email or call your congressional peeps to tell them to support the war powers resolutions in the House and Senate.

202-224-3121 is the switchboard number for every member of both houses of Congress.

Trump is certainly more loyal to Putin and Netanyahu than he is to America and our laws.

Thank you for reminding me it's been too long since I visited Greene.

That sensibility also fits in with the Charlie Parker books by John Connolly. I'm reading an advance copy of the upcoming book in the series and it's elegiac.

The Iranian spokesman sounds a lot like GOP spokespeople, from Ron Ziegler to present.

Something to keep in mind when we hear GOP spokespeople, especially those working for the regime. #Velshi

I would love to protest Paramount but there is both Trek and Twin Peaks. I am weak when it comes to those two franchises.
