It is the start of Banned Books Week and as such it's an EXCELLLLENT moment to donate to @authorsabb.bsky.social. We are laser focused on tbe single issue of fighting book bans. It's hard work, and we've done it with all volunteers for about 3 years-- and now we finally have a program manager.

Pattinson is incredible in Primetime. Pattinson and Phoebe Bridgers acting in a biopic about How to Catch a Predator made my Gen X brain short circuit a little.
