It's the first day of Navratri and I am thinking about my first published short. "Girls Who Twirl & Other Dangers" is about a night of garba and the legend of Ma Durga, fighting for what's right. It was stolen by anthropic to train their theft machine. I WILL NEVER STOP FIGHTING THESE ASSHOLES.

just made a 45-minute presentation to 100+ members of a sorority at NCSU, talked early voting, same-day registration, vote by mail etc. Their house is 2 blocks from the new NCSU early voting site on Western Blvd. Had handouts and fielded a dozen questions. Lots of interest. #ncpol

As someone who has been both fat and skinny, I think the biggest thing that stood out to me was how invisible it feels to be fat. You get ignored by store clerks and wait staff. Just glazed over and passed by. It's part of that looks bias. It's so empowering just to be SEEN at all.

Speaking of live-streaming executions… There were white people in America, particularly from the 1880s through the 1930s, who enjoyed watching Black people being lynched. They brought their families, took photos & collected pieces of the victims’ clothing as souvenirs. [1935 — Fort Lauderdale]

for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.

You know what, I think we've got 'em this time, folks. Wrap it up. What a wild ride it's been. Sure glad it's over.

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday that President Donald Trump’s decision to ease sanctions on Russia to allow it to release diesel fuel to the global market may be breaking the law.

“I do believe there’s a legitimate case for saying the president’s not following the law,” Tillis said.

In a story on political violence (where they depict the targets as equally democratic and republican), the @nytimes.com gives a sympathetic ear to a member of Congress who was part of January 6.

Representative Derrick Van Orden, a Republican from Wisconsin seeking re-election next month, attended the “Stop the Steal” rally on Jan. 6, 2021, in support of President Trump’s false claim that he had won the 2020 election. Mr. Van Orden was outside the U.S. Capitol that day when a mob attacked it, though he has denied entering the building. He was elected to Congress in 2022

That’s when the threats began.

“I was a Navy SEAL for over 22 years,” Mr. Van Orden said in an interview with The Times. “I hunted terrorists around the world a lot and was very successful at that. Never had a single threat to my family. Ever.”

I'm convinced Newsom isn't running for President at all. Sure, he might have a committee and use it as a slush fund, but he's running to be appointed to corporate boards and fake think tanks and stuff. Just too many examples of him going out of his way to show he's not aligned with the Dem base.
