Do not let the failures of prosecution post January 6th happen again. Every second you do not charge this person is a second the massive propaganda apparatus around the federal government will use to create a fog of lies to get him off. Arrest him immediately for killing an American citizen.

Day 4 of #DVParty - COUNT THE THUNDER (a YA fantasy thriller) as a gif or meme. Since day one, it has been the “instincts bad” Spider-Man panel. #YA #F #thriller #LGBT

An image of Peter Parker in the Spider-Man suit but without a mask, holding a duffle bag full of cash. In panel one he thinks: Thinkthinkthink. Panicking. Work on instinct. In the second he throws the duffle bag out the window, thinking: instincts bad.

discussion about spec fic trends by critics and readers is great, i'd just caution writers, esp. newer writers, to not let it get in your head too much. just do what compels you. you're unknowingly part of a movement and building out a landscape. it's ok to leave it to others to map out over time.
