What's everyone reading? For me, it's Backyard Bird Chronicles by Amy Tan. Charming, beautiful, and comforting. #booksky #amreading #fridayreads

Oh, and I probably swear in it. It's a sweary podcast. But it rates Clean so maybe I didn't. Either way, you've been warned.

Feb. 2 is the last day to register to vote and to submit an address change for Texas' midterm primaries.

Here's what you need to know about checking your registration, registering to vote and submitting a name or address change. 🧡

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

500,000 Pennsylvanians are about to see their healthcare premiums rise because of the Republican budget bill he supported.

People across Pennsylvania did not put time, money, and energy into his campaign just to elect someone who votes against our interests.

Let's defeat Fetterman together.

(around an image of a masked ICE agent holding a gun) Republicans "One Big Beautiful Bill' nearly tripled funding for ICE. That money came from your benefits:

paid for by cuts to reproductive health care

paid for by cuts to Medicare & Medicaid

paid for by cuts to SNAP

paid for by cuts to clean energy projects

paid for by cuts to obesity prevention

paid for by cuts to disaster response

paid for by cuts to energy tax credits

I don't remember. I filled out a couple of forms, wrote the letter, and pressed the button at the end. It might have been share. Dang it. I'm sorry it's not working. You could call his office. If you scroll down, the number is here: www.schatz.senate.gov/contact

Thanks for another great #horrorwriterschat everyone. Today I'd like to promote Bruce Springsteen's new song Streets of Minneapolis. It chronicles some real life horror. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKS...

I send a bolt of magic through the dagger and feel the darkness ebb. My kindness, such as it ever was, is intact. The darkness, too, but for today I've won. #horrorwriterschat

When Bathory does it in Innocent Blood, she becomes more powerful and frees herself from the strictures of society. Seems like it could be a good thing, but isn't for society. Sometimes it's better that have a f*ck or two to give. #horrorwriterschat

It's insidious and right in your face with its ordinariness. It's hard for the kind to conjure.
