Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

She could take him something: the piping hot chicken #soup Bobby liked when he was sick, freshly baked muffins or cornbread, or a chocolate cake. She could casually ask him if massage would help his pain, elicit the name of the masseuse, and pass it on to Detective Cabral. #BookishTues #Novellas

I just got a phishing attempt apparently aimed at stealing one of my domain names. I didn't click on it, obviously, so I don't know if it was going to pivot to asking for money or what, but I think that's the first time I've seen one like that.

Be super careful out there, people.

As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.

They ate a #soup of rainwater and crackers, warmed to tepid by a scorching sun as the ocean played a #harmony lapping against the side of the #lifeboat. Only two survivors, yet they found a shipwreck love story.

The cult of people who believe they can stave off death by raping children still exists and continues doing this, hoping people will tacitly allow it by ignoring what happened with Epstein. Their issue was Epstein’s RECORDS, not his ACTIVITY. They’ll avoid cameras - not children - in the future.

She returned to the campfire, where the companions had assembled and Rebba handed her a mug of hot soup. “It helps to keep your hands busy while your mind is spinning.”

The world is unfortunately going to be like this for a while. So you can comfort read all 3, ending with Vorkosigan saga since you just read it last year. (I've been doing so much comfort rereading lately that I haven't read anything new in months)

🤣

This week's #BookishTues theme is #SOUP one of my favourite foods.

me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58

Today is International Women's Day and if you support women's rights, you might want to buy Woman of Sorrow and Blood

But you'll DEFINITELY want to buy it if you support women's wrongs 😈😈😈

#ReleaseTheFiles

People think being a writer means sipping wine in a sun-drenched studio while inspiration flows like a river. It's actually 11pm on a Tuesday

"I don't think that's cringe" says the 49 year old that was looking at moon/sun/stars comforters last night

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

#AwesomeCharacters

Yes and no. I built the world, THEN decide which characters go into which individual stories. For some, like MoDaH, I initially planned a different route for the story so that Tynan would encounter a different cast in the second half. Those characters still exist in the world...

More lies will not make a traitor a hero.

“Okay,” he said. “If you want to play with #fire, I can’t stop you. But if you make yourself cheap, don’t be surprised when people treat you cheaply.” #BookishTues #Novellas

Their sense of security crumbled in an instant, like being protected by some perpetual sentinel who steadfastedly yanks the cannon's #lanyard to #fire upon an enemy he cannot see, as #cataracts have settled in during his years of loyalty.

Maybe the best and most important movie ever made. Saw it first when I was 17.

Well, I wrote to D2D. The TLDR is that I have a say in where my ebooks are sold, but I have NO say in where my paperbacks are sold. They use #Ingram who sells on #Amazon whether you want your book there or not.
