This is absolutely disgusting. Making things alway about him. Even the death of people as kind and warm as Rob Reiner and his wife were. Just because you disagree with his politics doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve compassion. Horrible!
This goes way beyond politics. This is pure evil.
This is both disgusting and expected.

As a school teacher, going to write some poetry. This world is way too fucked up for anything else. Killing over political beliefs, ideologies, and random acts of violence against the youngest is heinous.

Southern Gothic, psychological horror, and supernatural fiction rooted in atmosphere, memory, and place. These are stories that don’t rush the scare, they let it settle in and wait.

This is truly sad. 😢
Mass market paperbacks were always my favourite format. Made the idea and the feel of a book so exciting - a compact self-contained world you could carry round in your pocket. Genuinely sad they’re going. Trade paperbacks are just the ‘cheap’ version of a hardback. Not their own thing at all.
RIP Mass market paperbacks. Always my preferred format.

Maya Angelou didn’t just write poems, she wrote survival into language.
Her work carried Black history, womanhood, pain, grace, and defiance with absolute clarity.
When she said “I rise,” it wasn’t metaphor. It was truth.

Free writing is often used to spark interest because it bypasses overthinking. When the inner editor steps aside, curiosity takes over and ideas surface naturally. Momentum builds first, meaning can come later.

There was surrender here; he gave her the control, and she gave him her trust. As alpha, he never let his guard down. The pack couldn’t see even a moment of weakness. But Kay could bring him to his knees with a single look.
