NYU college Republicans had several affirmative action bake sales in the early oughts... which most everyone else considered to be racist.

Some of those people are currently on the staff of elected Republicans, in fact. They’re part of the present of the GOP.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

The fantastic @thecheesenone.bsky.social drew my beloved OC Yo Adley and look how cool they look!!! 😍💕 I'm obsessed with the cyberpunk wear, the whimsy details and the punk bunnies hsdjakshk ❤️❤️ *EXPLODES*

It's a digital drawing of the OC Yo Adley. A brown-redish haired character is winking towards the viewer. He is wearing a sexy cyberpunk inspired out it red, magenta, black and pink. In one of his hands is a crowbar in silver-red. The background has silhouettes of bunnies with spiky collars and piercings.

Natalie's Inner Universe series is a journey into a world where sailships roam between planets and floating cities, and people's lives are turmoil and grief.

With an emphasis on characters and mental health, it's a heavy but fun and gripping adventure. #BookSky

The new book is out! Link below!!

A screenshot from Amazon that features the three covers of the first trilogy from Natalie Kelda's Inner Universe series, River in the Galaxy, Outer Universe, and Quarantine Thirteen.

The beautiful cover of the new book in the series, Verselva Blues by Natalie Kelda featuring a scene as if we're looking up from between a forest at night at the sky that is green with stars and galaxies shining bright. There is a blue bird-creature flying above.

Exactly one year ago today, ALL THE HEARTS YOU EAT washed ashore 🫀

My coastal Gothic vampire novel surrounding the death of a young woman in a Massachusetts tourist town tore open old scars in the writing, but I hope it's helped some for those who've read it. Thank you for letting it in 🖤

one year washed ashore, still beating (with a heart emoji)
Below that, the cover of All the Hearts You Eat by Hailey Piper, art by Julia Lloyd showing a fanged beast emerging from a stormy sea. Around the cover are several kind quotes:
Cynthia Pelayo: "gorgeous yet tragic"
Sofia Ajram: "utterly haunting"
Logan-Ashley Kisner: "like Twin Peaks bred with The Lost Boys"
Publishers Weekly in a starred review: "a powerful tale"
Delilah S. Dawson: "Stephen King's It for a new generation"
Hildur Knútsdóttir: "sad, furious, hopeful"
Lindsay King-Miller: "here to rip a hole in your world"
Keith Rosson: "a fever dream"
