Happy to announce I am officially an @sfwa.bsky.social associate member!
Jennette McCurdy’s new novel is scarily accurate in its portrayal of sexually exploitative relationships. Offenders aren’t obvious monsters as they are often depicted, but subtle ones. They are sad, pathetic even. They express the immorality of their own actions while gleefully engaging in them

I see a lot of people calling out the Kyle Rittenhouse hypocrisy but the Trump admin aren’t hypocrites, they’re bigots. They promote the deaths and disenfranchisement of non-white citizens and their allies. We need to stop calling out the inconsistent rhetoric and focus on the consistent immorality.

Don’t count on a Nuremberg for ICE agents. The US has never been held accountable for the atrocities it commits, I can’t imagine we’ll start now

Dude on Grindr called me a “homo” in a derogatory way because I told him he shouldn’t call his wife a bitch. Aside from being technically inaccurate (I’m pan), isn’t that the whole point of the app?

18 Days Sober: My brain really doesn’t want me to make it 19 days, and I can’t figure out why today is so different

7 Days Sober: I saw a beer sign and my immediate thought was the phrase “neon temptresses urge me to break my vow.” I laughed at how pretentious I am

5 Days Sober: I am no longer actively imagining how to kill myself, seems like progress.

Saw someone use “problem in the ass” instead of “pain in the ass” and I genuinely think it’s more evocative. “Problem” is so much more ominous than “pain,” leaves a lot more to the imagination.

If anyone needs a solid hangover defense plan, not drinking too much is always number one… number two is Xanax and Saltenes

Someone emailed me pretending to be @colleenhooverbooks.bsky.social, with an Amazon link to one of her books to “prove” it lol

Hey fellas, if you tell me you love me after a 25-minute conversation on a dating app, I’m 150% sure you’re going to murder me

Wonderful meeting everyone at the Liar’s Rendezvous in Chicago this evening. I’m eagerly awaiting drafts of some of the stories y’all told me about

Color me unsurprised that the war on terror tactics we used abroad are now being used by the panopticon state domestically.

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship
Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”

I’ve never really understood the expression “ass over ankles” to describe falling, given my ass is typically above my ankles anyway

The ICE signing bonus is the perfect example of how capitalism aids fascism. It's a lot easier to sell people on cruelty when you offer them relief from economic anxiety.

The key to drunk texting is to message the wrong person the right thing instead of sending the right person the wrong thing.

I'm not saying people like Bill Cosby and Sean Combs aren't monsters, because they are. I just think it's telling WHICH sexual predators get sentenced in this country, and which get to be president (Democrat and Republican).
