Turned in a draft of my September 2026 novel and my editor told me the book might be “too obscene to publish” 😇
There is no excuse and I apologize. I sent you a message.

Pls consider ordering a book from your local indie bookshop *NOW* before holiday season to give store time to order title if they don't have it? This helps:

(1) support indie bkshops, (2) support human creators, (3) gets you ahead re: busy shopping time.

Psst: maybe one of my books? 🙏🏽💛 #KidLit

The reason I know God is real is because @clairewillett.bsky.social went to town on the news that the pope is banning Opus Dei (most Catholics I know think they are weird nasty creeps and have long thought that!!) Anyway, Claire’s analysis has me like

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!
Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

Jordy created a website where visitors can contribute $35 to “provide an inflatable costume for a True American.™”

He initially hoped to collect enough to buy a couple dozen suits.

But as he put it -- “This whole thing has blown up a lot.”

If possible, do not bring your real phone. Write at least one phone number on your body in sweat-proof sharpie in case you get kettled and need to call someone.

Wear a mask, if you're going to be crowded in with people.

Wear the most common and nondescript clothing you can.
Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.
Nothing fucks up your day like missing that dose.
Me, sobbing because everything is scary and someday my cats will die and music is beautiful and sad and I can't take my socks off and my head is hot: "What is WRONG with me????"

12 hours later, spotting the full Sunday pillbox just as the Effexor withdrawal spins start: "Oh."

Never fails.

a saga:
The silo was dead quiet when I got there. No wind. No bugs. The kind of stillness that makes your skin itch because it feels like the Earth’s holding its breath.

I parked the cruiser and stepped out. Called it in—nothing unusual so far.

someone on the Internet who really wants to convince you to shine lasers at manned aircraft as a protest tactic “because they did it in Chile in 2019” is either:

1. a fascist fed, or,

2. so terminally stupid that they have become functionally indistinguishable from one

Because boy, howdy, nobody knows ritual and symbolism like the Catholic Church, and having it turned squarely back on the Very Bad Catholics who have been the public standard-bearers of wielding it for evil for so long is really good to see.

There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a frog with a cape over there
Tellin me, I got to beware

You better stop, children
What’s that sound?
Everybody look, they’re croaking now
Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight.
