Fiddlesticks. The first thing that popped into my head was “Blood at the Root“ by LaDarrion Williams (setting is a magical HBCU), then I read through the thread and saw that he prefers contemporary. I can ask my grandkids what they’re reading-they’ve recently moved on from pnr & magic to contemp.

It does indeed get worse every day. And our nervous systems were never meant to operate under this constant bombardment of “crazy“. So we’re all scared and stressed out wondering what these people (who many of our American friends and families voted for) will do next. 😩

I’m sure your post is from a place of true concern, but honestly, you don’t want people to lie to you. That’s how we got into this mess. Again.

They already rose up and the US is still mad.

American oil businesses (who were cheating Venezuela) got kicked out of there 40 years ago after Venezuela nationalized their oil resources to keep the money in their country.

This is why history is important.

Of course he believes it. Why? Because he hasn’t faced any consequences. He’s a 34 count convicted felon, indicted for stealing classified documents, indicted in several states, including Georgia, for election interference, praised Jan 6th, impeached TWICE. No consequences for any of it.

Well, there was a very strong and loud warning in 2024 that this regime would lead us into war within its first year.

And Kamala Harris was right. Again.

And sentenced to 45 years in jail only to be pardoned last month by Trump.

Drink some water! See you next week!

Yes! As an author, one of the coolest things that’s happened to me over my career is interacting with readers online and then getting to meet them at various conferences, book signings, luncheons and such.🥰

I met one of my very best irl friends in an online reader group. Friends for decades now.

You're not gonna fall for the banana in the tailpipe?

She may be anti-pedo on Trump/Epstein, but she’s still a white suprematist. We are not falling for the okie-doke.

And out of all those people that they dragged out of bed, zip-tied in the cold and hauled off in vans in the big raid, ZERO were charged with a crime.

They returned home to ransacked apartments, though. So who are the criminals again?

In spite of all the upheaval in the world, some cool things happened during the summer.

One of them was that I had the honor of WALKING MY DAUGHTER DOWN THE AISLE! #wedding #hawaii #Summer2025

Ummm…analytical tools/solutions that help biotech and pharma manufacturers comply with FDA regulations and how big data plays a part in that? And world building for SFF novels! Definitely world building!

Serpentine Fire! Let’s Groove! September! Reasons!

Whoooo! I’ve been waiting for Meegan’s story and couldn’t get it fast enough! Loved it!!

Yes! We have neighbors who wouldn’t even participate in a census before, who are now all in, roaming through, taking in people, checking on the elders, and helping with things like passports.

Exactly this. All the folks in my house and in our community are doing what we need to. We’re just moving in silence. Sometimes wisdom = hush. Folks need to stop policing how we move, but we get especially angry when the call is coming from inside the house.

Oh? They’ve broken another federal law? *stares in pretend shocked face😱* Y’all want something from the store? Which movie are we tandem watching today? #92%

Thank you for the love, Se!!

Nothing about this is normal. Dems have over 100 lawsuits against Trump right now BUT they don’t hold the house or the Senate.

Concede? MAGA holds EVERY branch – executive, judicial, and legislative. Americans VOTED for this, so who is supposed to miraculously save it and how?

I haven’t seen it yet! *flees with all the tissue boxes*
