Some people are very good at writing sex and some people are good at believing that they are good at writing sex, the first is a tremendously impressive skill and the second is what makes for deeply uncomfortable author presentations at science fiction conventions
There's nothing wrong with literary porn, but some of the crap those guys wrote was "Have you actuallly ever HAD sex?"

The thing you have to understand about the white "people" of Alabama is that they will be given a choice between a racist college football coach and a man who prosecuted the Ku Klux Klan and they will choose the racist football coach by 50 points because the other guy is pro-choice

COLOR TASTE TEXTURE is in hundreds of libraries all over the world.

Openly autistic written books published by one of the”bigs” for a largely neurodivergent audience is rare. When books like mine are pirated, it’s sending publishers the message we aren’t worth publishing.

Every economy op-ed writer: No see, you can't buy a house because you buy too many avocado toasts but you're hurting the economy by not buying a new $1,000 phone each year. I am very smart. Also don't ask me about my emails with Epstein.

Random Fact

The difference between a friar and a monk is that a monks stayed in a monastery while friars travel about.

That is why in “adventure” stories and travelogues you occasional encounter a Friar … like “Friar Tuck”

I will be the first to admit I couldn’t understand why anyone would oppose Assisted Dying… and then I became disabled and had it “offered” to me.

It’s not compassionate when there’s coercion.

It’s not dignified when it’s offered in lieu of care.

Listen to disabled people.

DOGE shuts down having not found trillions of dollars of waste or saved any money.

They compromised the security of government systems, fired federal workers and oversaw the dismantling of USAID which has killed 600,000.

By 2030 approx 14 million people will have died.

That’s their legacy

They’re doing eugenics right out in the open now, largely because Trump, RFK Jr, Dr Oz and the rest of the fascists have been pushing a eugenicist agenda since they seized control.

It’s white Christian nationalism and it’s dangerous.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
