Ooo thank you!

Maybe the Hilo series?

In search of book recommendations. Sci fi/fantasy preferred. Recently enjoyed the Carry On series by Rainbow Rowell, Black Sun and series by Rebecca Roanhorse, and the Scholomance series by Naomi Novak. Suggestions?

Dear federal workers, if you need a paper from a scientific journal for which RFK Jr. has just cancelled your subscription, I’m happy to send it to you as a professional courtesy. My email is in my bio.

Ruin a book’s title by replacing one word with “butthole.”

These historians oversee unbiased accounts of U.S. foreign policy. Trump fired them all. An advisory committee of historians helps ensure the record of America’s history remains unbiased, transparent and thorough. Trump just fired the entire panel.

A post on Threads from Miss Rachel, a well-known children’s educator and entertainer: “What’s it like for kids in Gaza?” my little boy asks me. Well, kids don’t have medical care & can’t go to the doctor like us. They don’t get to go to school like you & learn & play. They don’t have enough food or water or a safe place to live. “Why?”🥺 I feel my heart breaking. I can’t tell my son it’s some natural disaster. That there’s not enough food or medicine in the world. It’s that grown-ups are keeping these basic human rights away from children. It’s a choice.

Two posts on Threads from Miss Rachel, a well-known children’s educator and entertainer. The first post says: “Leaders - Be so ashamed that your constituents are begging & pleading for you speak out and you stay silent. Be so ashamed that you put money & power & your career before the lives of precious children of God. Be so ashamed that our religions tell us to give to the poor, feed the hungry & open our arms to all children & you pretend that they mean only for some children.” The second post says: “Celebrities as well. If everyone says something it won’t be controversial anymore. It’s never been wrong to say starving and bombing kids is wrong. God help everyone have the strength to say something. Please, God.”

A post on Threads from Ms Rachel, a popular children’s educator and entertainer: “If you want to be remembered for saying something about Gaza before the entire world does, now would be the time.”

Miss Rachel isn’t on Bluesky, but her posts about Gaza should be. I wish this wasn’t so unusual to see from people with big platforms.

Do you know how many people in YOUR congressional district are estimated to lose their health insurance and/or nutritional assistance, and/or be at risk of losing their jobs if the GOP’s Big Billionaire Welfare Bill is made law? Look it up. ⬇️ Talk about it.

I sent this email to my Republican Congressman today. Then I modified it for a phone call I made to his local office

If your Representative is a Republican, email or call
them with the same message

Texans - we have one more onerous library bill to fight off. HB3225 is a public library bill that sets age restriction on access in public libraries. It creates onerous problems for small rural libraries and large urban ones as well. Please CALL your Tx Senators today as the vote got postponed.☎️

For months, I’ve passed a sign near the freeway that reads “Leave tRump alone! The people have spoken!”

As of two days ago, it was painted over.

Neither of you are wrong, particularly in today's publishing environment. You'd have to be someone who could break through the shadow banning

Trump's ICE Used a Woman's Kids and Grandchild as 'Bait' To Arrest Her Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) used a woman's children and grandchild as "bait' to arrest her in Worcester, Massachusetts, last week.

ICE convinced a woman she was being arrested and then threatened to take her baby into custody unless a relative showed up to take her.

It was all a ruse to get her mother to leave her house.

Which is why I was pissed when I found out my publisher put one out without my knowledge. Every contract I sign from here on out will have a clause addressing this.

How about “We’re importing racists now, apparently”

Jfc that’s a terrifying statistic
