10M adults on ACA plans are self-employed or small business owners and employees.

A restaurant owner in Virginia could see his monthly premium double, shooting up to $1400 a month.

Small businesses are the lifeblood of our communities – and Republicans are shafting them. Hello?

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky.

Block on sight.

Protect your digital space.

Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.

The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app, this is unacceptable. Why are you blocking a moderation list that helps us mute/block dangerous right wing propagandists? I need an explanation.
Let me guess: the neonazis running the US gov't joined your app and now their feefees are hurt? ❄️

Songs of Broken Bells releases tomorrow!! In the meantime, I wanna host a little Q&A. What can I tell you about SoBB that will convince you it’ll be your next favorite read?

Convincing you to read with the 1st page??

TEMPEST, TAKE ME HOME is a cozy seafaring romantasy that leans heavily toward the romance. Adventure calls...and sometimes, it calls you home.

🍑 Established romance
🏴‍☠️ Polyamory done right
🍑 Trans joy
🏴‍☠️ Disabled MC saves the day
🍑 Map magic
🏴‍☠️ Crew = Family

The page is formatting with a graphic to look like a wave is rushing onto the page from the top down.

Centered at top-ish:
Chapter 1
Eli

Text on rest of page:
I fucking hate the smell of magic.
I've been told dozens of times that it doesn't have a smell or a taste or anything else identify- ing. I've heard it from magic users and regular folk like me. As a kid, I thought those people were screwing with me. Turns out it's probably just further proof of my screwed-up brain
But whatever anyone else says, magic has a smell so strong that I can taste it. It's like lick- ing rocks that got covered in something slightly sour. And it always tastes cold. Makes no sense even to me, but there it is. Even fire magic--cold. And with the magic around us tonight, it's not just the smell that my overworked senses have to deal with.
Stone makes everything echo; the waves following us into this cave are creating an abso- lute cacophony. The high tension while we wait

In just four days my debut novel will be out in the world for anyone to read! I’ve learned so much about writing and myself from this book, and I hope that even a few people can fall in love with the story as much as I have.

At the top there is glowing text that says:

"We're going to die. If not in some fiery explosion of my doing, then at the hands of the Elders.

Writing is one of the things I love most but *waves at everything*. I had intended to publish The Tenth Muse this year, to have one MS ready to query with another in the drafting process, to engage more w/my community. Right now I'm working on finding the joy in writing again.
