Mark Kelly: "I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial, and that was that members of the military should follow the law. In response to that, Trump said I should be executed, I should be hanged ... it says a lot more about him than it says about me. I'm not going to be silenced."

This is heartbreakingly cruel and hypocritical. The same admin that has redefined refugee status to cover white South Africans is now going to drown thousands of refugees already approved for their status in red tape, potentially even seeking to strip some of their status and deport them.
Trump Admin planning a rule to re-decide whether *every* refugee who entered under Biden meets their criteria for a refugee. That’s 230,000 people! And no appeals!

DC jury acquitted the Sandwich Guy. Lindsay Halligan can’t even bring an indictment because she’s not legit. Jeanine Pirro couldn't get a conviction because she’s incompetent.
As the judge pointed out, incompetent Pam Bondi completely screwed up the appointment of Halligan in violation of the law.

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.
Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

Ok, I'm going to my boss tomorrow to tell him I'm in a mental health crisis and I've been shitty at my job for the past few weeks because of it. I am terrified even though my boss has given no indication that he'll be a monster about this, but shame is a huge part of it and I'm so scared.

It's been years since I wrote a poorly-received paper about the murder of George Green (it's fine, I have a PhD now so obviously getting a bad grade didn't affect my life that much) but I think about how people weren't sure if his murder was justified or not because, you know, crippled, all the time

I just checked, apparently A Magical Inheritance was on sale in CA, US, AU, NZ for 99c on Kobo during the period where it was downloaded.

And I know y'all were stealing Skyla's books b/c I was RT them, and some were 99c and others $2.99. And her with all of those vet bills. Shame on you.

Ugh, I didn't know about this one. Of course it has all my books. Not only is that money I could use, but every sale helps those of us hanging on in the midlist keep publishing at all. Love to see hundreds of downloads on series that people complain haven't continued with more books. Yeah guess why.
I posted a buy link here to "A Magical Inheritance" a few days ago, and 24 of you immediately went to Anna's Archives and fucking stole it from me.
Yes, stole it.
I do not get paid for your download there because YOU ARE STEALING FROM ME.

I did that giant thread with book links, everyone was posting in it...and then people just pirated the books.
A number of the authors in that thread had been posting about how sales have collapsed.

Wow, me neither. Every book I've published is on there, AND some anthos *and* some ish that's available on Tor for free, but apparently compiled into a handy pdf. I'm no bestseller but damn this is depressing, meanwhile let me figure out which bills won't get paid next month.

the vast majority of authors are not rich y’all, we often work multiple jobs or rely on other people’s incomes because this industry pays us shit. i have three different contracts with three different big five publishers and i don’t make anything NEAR a living wage. but i do work seven days a week!🫠
