The Size of the Leaves

Theodor Herzl - Wikipedia

Posting this bio of Theodor Herzl, the founder of Zionism, because he was a #journalist. So essentially Israel is now targeting their own. Even if they don't work or live in Israel. Kinda like the spirit of the law. I'm disgusted. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor...

Is this the best thing ever or what?

I wonder what the Mump Administration will do with all this money they're collecting from universities. Will it go back into higher education somehow? Doubtful. Pay for the refurbished Air Force One? For tax breaks? For technical/vocational schools? Also doubtful. Straight into someone's pockets???

Trump seeking $1-billion fine from UCLA over antisemitism allegations The Trump administration has proposed the University of California pay more than $1 billion to settle antisemitism charges and restore frozen grant funding at UCLA.

My alma mater, which we Jewish kids called "Jew C L A" and "Tel Aviv High West," is paying for antisemitism. I don't know how fining the college & stopping research will dissuade future anti-Semites but as I like to say, what do I know? I went to public school. www.latimes.com/california/s...

So a lady, presumably a much acclaimed children's book author, wrote to me on this platform and told me what a great author I was, blah blah blah blah, and now that account has been deleted, because, I assume, it was fake. Fake fake fake. Please don't fake me out anymore. Thank you.

Hey I'm gonna be at @lindalenhoff.bsky.social 's book party for "*Your Actual Life May Vary" novel release from @sfwp.bsky.social publishers at Great Good Place for Books on Wednesday, August 6 at 7 pm. You should be there too.

also, will anyone--Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Federalists, perjury experts, anyone--ask Emil Bove what he'll do, and how he'll feel, when his court orders aren't enforced or followed? Anyone?????????

Publisher of my next #poetry collection, "The Exhaust of Dreams Adulterated," wrote to me today saying he's applying for its Library of Congress number and is working on the cover and book design for an October release. So stay tuned. Please. Thank you.

when will someone ask Bove what he'll do, how he'll feel, how he'll react, when someone decides not to follow his court orders????????

Live Updates: Details Emerge of Park Ave. Gunman’s Mental Health History

And another thing.....how did someone who was involuntarily committed twice get a concealed weapons permit in Nevada? How? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/07...

....and that is all I have for today.

...and a professor of genocide studies who was in the IDF say. I hope that's enough. 4. So the Trump people have dismantled one "deep state" in favor of building another--medical/sci research, higher education, enforcement of civil rights, clean water and air in favor of fascist secret police....

1. No one will ask Emil Bove how he'll feel, what he'll do, when his court orders aren't followed. 2. It is easier to write in an air conditioned house full of people than it is to write in an un-air conditioned house alone. 3. What's happening in Gaza is genocide, two Israeli human rights orgs....

will someone, anyone ask Emil Bove how he'll feel if his court orders aren't followed, and what he'll do about it? will no one ask him this question?

Glad to be living in a country where I can watch South Park. Will be tuning in next week. #FreeSpeech #FirstAmendment

Lies, damn lies, & the lying liars who tell them. I have friends who lie, & I think they started lying because we're living in a time of lies. I also wonder if more people are telling lies nowadays with the coming of fascism. Everyone else is doing it, so why can't we? Eh?

Fascism is as fascism does.

will someone, anyone, ask Bove how he'll enforce his court orders if people don't want to follow them? or how he'll feel when his court orders are ignored?

Opinion | The Seductions of A.I. for the Writer’s Mind

I guess if we no longer teach people how to write because they can do it through AI, that'll be good for fascism since no one will know how to think for themselves. Clever little idea there, AI and the coming of fascism together. Cheers! www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/o...

“N.Y.U. heralds AI as a transformative tool that can ‘help’ students write their essays:” another reason why I’m so glad I’m retired. Also #endtimes. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/o...

I received an email offer today to buy a mug with "Alligator Alcatraz" on it (established in Florida in 2025). Monetize the fascism. I guess that's what's exceptional about American fascism.

Another step toward fascism, I guess, is thinking/hoping the fascist administration will self-destruct over the Epstein scandal, because fascism is actually built on such scandals--remember Giacomo Matteotti and the Blomberg-Fritsch affair just to name a few? Just sayin'. Enjoy your police state.

Didn't get a rejection today, but the new issue of the literary magazine came out and guess who's not in it! Thanks editors. I wish I had a door that could hit you on your way out. #writinglife

Another day of the descent into fascism. I feel like I'm living in "the upside down." Hope all you Republican/Trump supporters are getting what you wanted. History will blame you. I'm going to live long enough to see it, in case you're wondering.

Inside the Salt Path controversy: ‘Scandal has stalked memoir since the genre was invented’ Raynor Winn’s bestselling book is far from the first time a true story has been called into question after publication. But how does it happen? And should readers really feel betrayed?

Well looky here. A memoirist who lied in her #memoir. Will wonders never cease. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j... I didn't lie in mine, by the way. You can take a gander here: www.amazon.com/Unsuitable-P...

THANK YOU @bendinggenres.bsky.social, thank you so much.

When will someone ask Bove what he'll do, how he'll feel, when people do not follow his court orders???????
