I will say it again.

No mystery why there’s no comment from Trump about the domestic terror attack in Atlanta yesterday. It was a black police officer who was killed in the line of duty and CDC employees who were targeted.
Worst POTUS in history.

And Rhonda could also use some help (f**k cancer, sigh)

Em is having a really difficult year (cancer diagnosis among other things). Could you donate to this if you can spare something?

I’m now @ $425/$1K to cover August’s remaining household expenses. After paying my rent, Internet and phone bills, I’m dead broke; getting stiffed by multiple booking clients hasn’t helped. Anyone who donates $50+ can get a custom song; the third one in my queue went live on Sunday 8/3! 🎶❤️

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

The one thing Dems absolutely cannot do is their stupid "go high" virtue signaling garbage. If the GOP wants to gin up anti-trans panic, go on TV and ask why they're protecting pedophiles. Keep asking why they covered up a child sex trafficking ring and don't stop asking

No pretense of maintaining the integrity and independence of DOJ & FBI. That’s all gone now. Trump has his private police force.

Rhian Elizabeth, who is actually on the longlist with JB, has withdrawn

Signed.

We're now at a total of a quarter of the longlisted authors choosing to withdraw from the Polari Prize this year.

Apparently you can't just record yourself screaming as a description, so I have relunctantly written some actual words about the problems we're facing as a rescue

The next time you hear conservatives use any of the following terms, ask for a definition. 

"Woke"
"DEI"
"Critical race theory"
"Socialism" 

They won't have any.

They just want to stoke culture wars to divert attention from economic looting and oligarchy.

Then do your job, stop them, and fix it. Stop just pontificating and trying to fundraise off it.

It's that time of year again. I'm trying not to use Amazon, and I've deleted my meta accounts, so my reach is limited. But any help getting some books for my amazing fourth graders, some of whom I also had in kindergarten, is appreciated.

@prisonculture.bsky.social will you repost please? 💙

I love this so much.

Let’s help Lisa out! she is always sharing other teachers list! Right now her mom is in the hospital and she is still helping other teachers. Let’s do all we can for her!
@prisonculture.bsky.social Can we share Lisa list and send her some love for all she does for others every day/night!

Odd, how South Park is covering Kristi Noem and her ICE hooligans more accurately than The New York Times.

Thank you for this. I had strong opinions.

My favorite answer that I submitted:

Question - What do you think is the most helpful aspect of generative AI tools for the romance industry?

Answer: None. Humans are sacred, robots are objects, and should never be allowed near the creative process.

Same.

This is exactly where I am.

US Air Force to deny retirement pay to transgender service members being separated from the service The U.S. Air Force has decided to deny early retirement options for transgender service members with 15 to 18 years of service.

These Americans served with honor for more than a decade. Put their lives on the line. Trump fired them, just for being who they are-and now is denying retirement benefits our nation promised them for their service.

Treating troops this way is dishonorable, unfair, & harmful to national security.

The United States would not exist if George Washington hadn’t ordered his troops to be vaccinated.

We have spiraled back 250 years.

Jordy Meiselas: ICE didn't just lower the age requirement—they removed the age requirement. Now, at any age—you can go and join. They've riled up their base and have given them one lane to occupy: take out your anger, become an ICE agent, and chase down migrants. They are preying on people's hate.

You're probably not reading Opera Magazine.

But they really went for it here, and you should be reading them.
