2026, I'll be living two lives (even though I'm not a Gemini): Margo Hendricks, aka MargoH, and Elysabeth Grace. MargoH will be primarily on BlueSky with her shenanigans. By the way, re my www.gofundme.com/f/support-ma...: the MFs were found guilty of 2nd degree homicide. Still need aid.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

I want us to stay focused on the grief of this terrible moment, but when Black people tell you not to touch something, that is not a challenge. Some things are ours for a reason. We can remember Renee Good as the person she was and the circumstances of her murder without co-opting Black suffering.

I have now seen two separate AI reconstruction pictures of Renee Good’s murderer and they are different, which tells you that they’re not good and you should stop sharing them.

A lot of people are fighting over whether or not watching a video of someone's death makes you a better activist or person and I would like to gently suggest that what you do in response to the video's existence is what matters, whether you watched it or not.

2/2 I've tarred roofs, hauled around 50 pound sacks of gravel and salt, driven forklifts, and pulled orders all day in 100 degree Texas heat. I hated every minute those jobs and hope I never have to go back to one. But I would if it was that or shooting people in the face for trying to run away.

1/2 The thing that gets to me about ICE isn't that it's full of fascist true believers, but that it's packed with regular people too. Look at ICE job fairs. Regular people lined up saying, "A job is a job." No, it fucking isn't. I've worked shitty jobs...

Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!

I don't use services like insta art for convenience. I can't handle shopping in person for a lot of chronic illness and fatigue reasons. When grocery stores use dynamic pricing, it's preying on people for profit. It's another disability tax for people like me.

Trust me, I would kill to hear my father's voice again. But this wouldn't be him; at best, it would be a hollow facsimile of him. At worst, it would hallucinate and I would be reminded of his Alzheimer's-riddled final years. What a truly stupid article.

This is a goddamned amazing piece of writing on Heated Rivalry and what the critics are getting wrong. It’s also a great manual on what is possible to achieve with character development during sex scenes. If you’re not a romance writer, this should be required reading.
