I write and draw SF/F/H erotica and erotic romance. I like the sexy and the strange and I like it with feeling.

Five book covers against a background that fades from a blue-tone pattern of circuitry to a beige-toned runes. The first three books are under the heading of Android Ardour and are titled: An Unexpected Attachment, Too Hot to Handle, and Synthetic Agency. They each feature the torso of a well-toned man in the process of undressing against a background of circuitry. The other two books are under the heading: The Sussuran Chronicles. The first is called Oviposition and features the silhouette of a man in a cave surrounded by tentacles. The second is called Ruinous Attraction and features a drawing of two naked men embracing on the floor against a background of runes. All books are by Ruby Jones.

The cover of Oviposition shows the silhouette of a man standing in a cave with tentacles looming above him.

If you claim to be an 'academic' or a 'researcher' or similar and your position is that you should not have to read things and/or write things and you would like the plagiarism machine to do that for you then please step aside and let someone who would like to work in the field have your job.

while you are making your best-SFF-books of the year lists you COULD, I'm just saying, think about which of those books are relevant to the aims of the Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction, and which ones you might wanna nominate for the prize when nominations open in March

This is 100% wrong. The point of impeachment is to help the 35% of Americans who don’t know about all the awful stuff happening under Trump to find out. It’s TV. This isn’t complicated or legal or even political. It’s straight out campaign media.

What would the point be of another Trump impeachment when he’s a lame duck and Rs won’t convict him?

Dems need an answer for the remnant of resistance people who are demanding impeachment but far more important for them to use normal Oversight powers effectively.
