Yup. 100% inheritance tax with, like, the first $1MM exempt.

This is a photo of a paperback copy of The Atrocities by me (Jeremy C. Shipp). The cover features a creepy old manor house, storm clouds, and a hedge maze. The book is against a brick wall with vines growing around and over the book.

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word?

My Shirley Jackson Award-nominated gothic fiction book THE ATROCITIES is on sale today for $1.99 on Kindle. I have no idea how long this sale will last.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.

Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.

I don't really care if this is a popular or unpopular opinion. It's mine. Make this book canon. Martha Wayne getting got because she went back to her journo roots to try to take down a billionaire pedophile ring instead of spending her days being a trophy wife is what I need.

Please hear me when I say that

1) these anti-medical woo birth movements have been a primary feeder into anti-vaxx eugenic movements

2) they pre-date the age of social media

3) they exist because we have not addressed medical sexism and specifically obstetric violence

What is going on today, seriously

"We have made a new plane where you can't actually sit or stand but rather are packed in like half kneeling sardines. if you sneeze, you'll hit your head on four different objects and get six people sick. Now please, for God sake, wear your Sunday best and be in a good mood. Wifi will be $50.00"

Reindeer Readathon TBR It’s the readathon I wait all year for. The only readathon I know I wont get stressed out and dropped out. And after desperately checking the creator’s channel for the announcement vide…

The blog post might be a day late, but it's here!

Let's talk about what I'm (hopefully) reading for the Reindeer Readathon!

Thinking today how homelessness runs through this story, through Epstein's (Virginia Guiffre had been homeless before meeting him), and even through Gaiman's (his nanny was sleeping on the beach when Palmer recruited her, and he used threats of homelessness against another victim).

There is something about being reviewed as a cackling female that makes me giggle

Never forget that the director of The Fly played a small recurring guest character that originated in Star Trek Enterprise who also somehow owns Siskos baseball from DS9 nearly 1000 years into the future.

A book cover with three comics images horizontal, a boy and Betty Boop, a girl and boy looking scared, and an adult man being harassed by an old-fashioned telephone.

It set up the possibility of compliance in advance that could not be counterbalanced by "we promise, after she signs this legally binding contract, not to use it against her."

HE'S APPEALING TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO STARVE AMERICANS

Sisko, but the deciding factor is less the character and more that DS9s supporting cast is better than Voyager’s. There are good supporting characters on Voyager, but none quite match what Quark, Odo, Garak, O’Brien, and both Daxes did to enhance Sisko as a character.
To say nothing of Worf

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.

One of the key things the Supreme Court is supposed to do on an emergency motion is to balance the hardships to each sides.

Here it is not even close--people starving v. the government not tapping a reserve they are supposed to tap anyway in the event of an emergency

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.

Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

“I believe in the dignity of all people.”

Yes, of course there is craft in responding to questions from journalists. And that is a lot easier when one has good principles and clarity about them.
