I like to write about terrible men, horrible things, and unlikeable women. Somehow my book is a bestseller. Repped by Kent D. Wolf at Neon Literary.

My bill for an overnight stay in a Swedish hospital, a full blood panel, some sort of soft tissue scan, and a consultation with a specialist was $30. Had I needed surgery, I’d have paid about $10 more for every night I spent in the hospital. Universal healthcare is an unmitigated social good.

The French police are so militarized they blew up a 15-yr-old’s hand and took the eye of another one. Why are grenades being used to quell student protestors who are unarmed? Now the labour unions are stepping in to protect the students

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

In a single month, Ukraine’s book industry lost a significant part of its production capacity and ~10 million books as a result of Russian attacks, many of them text books at the start of the academic year. The Ukrainian Book Institute appealed to the international publishing community for support:

Seen in Stockholm, THE RED SACRAMENT by @boneysoups.bsky.social. Nineteenth-century vampires but make it anti-colonialist.
Cover showing the title of the novel, the name Sara Hinckley and a split portrait of supernatural beings. It’s hot and sinister.

Every so often, I like to google my biological father and remind myself that he lied about being a marine in Vietnam, faked his college diploma, and purloined various soldiers' stories, yet he also got a Ph.D., held a tenured position, and addressed the Joint Chiefs at Foggy Bottom.

Sex workers' rights are under attack across Europe and Central Asia. 🇸🇪 In 2025, despite receiving overwhelming opposition,, Sweden criminalised the clients of online sex work (e.g. OnlyFans). Just as we feared, this dangerous precedent started a new wave of attacks on sex workers' rights.

BREAKING: SCOTUS allows the Trump admin to restart third-country removals under a policy found by lower courts to violate federal law. The Democratic appointees dissent. The deportations will be OK'ed at least through the next several months, with SCOTUS agreeing to hear the case in December.
CERTIORARI GRANTED
DEPT. OF HOMELAND SEC., ET AL. V. D.V.D., ET AL.
The application for stay presented to Justice Jackson and
by her referred to the Court is granted. The February 25, 2026
order and judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, case No. 1:25-cv-10676, are stayed.
The application is also treated as a petition for a writ of
certiorari, and the petition is granted. The parties are directed to brief and argue the following questions: (1) Whether
the district court had jurisdiction over Respondents' claims.
(2) Whether the district court had authority to enter classwide declaratory relief and APA vacatur under 8 U. S. C. §1252(f) (1).
(3) Whether the Government's Guidance on third-country removals
is unlawful under 8 U.S. C. §1231(b), the Due Process Clause, or FARRA/CAT and its implementing regulations. (4) Such other
questions that the Government determines are appropriate for the
proper disposition of the case. The Clerk is directed to
establish a briefing schedule that will allow the case to be argued in the December 2026 argument session. The stay shall
terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court.
Justice Sotomayor, Justice Kagan, and Justice Jackson would deny the application for stay.

I went through three agents (two quit the biz without telling me) before I signed with my fourth, who sold my novel, then moved agencies, and then got let go in a purge, which meant my book came out unagented. I'm now on agent number five, whom I love. Getting a good agent is a true level in hell.

In Sweden, the leader of the Social Democrats, Magdalena Andersson, has informed the Speaker that she has been unable to form a new Left-Green-Center govt. This means the Speaker will now ask the leader of right-wing Moderates to try. Their chances also thin. New elections look possible.

This story is a holy rolling ball of sexist white nationalist WTF. Not only is Rep. McIver eight months pregnant, running for reelection, and fighting bogus charges that could put her in prison for 17 years, but she also gets zero maternity leave because the House doesn't grant maternity leave.
inquirer.com
U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver is eight months pregnant and facing 17 years in jail | Jenice Armstrong
McIver’s inner strength is next level. She is running for reelection while fighting efforts by the Trump administration to jail her. Plus, she’s repping her constituents and caring for her family.

Quilt hanging on a card catalog. Neutral background with navy cursive appliqué “Do you hear thr people sing?” The background is embroidered in red starting light and getting bolder the lyrics to “killing in the name” the quilting effect is a focused sunburst from the center.

As Trump plans to enlarge and militarize his triumphal arch, I can't help thinking about the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw. Originally called the Joseph Stalin Palace of Culture and Science, the people of Warsaw now refer to it as "Stalin's Cock."
Stalin's Cock on a crisp fall day. Photo is courtesy of Anatomia Formy and the Go2Warsaw website. A large, symmetrical marble building sits at the end of a park. There are two smaller shelves on either side of a jutting, phallic tower. If you could build a penis in Minecraft, it'd probably look like this.Stalin's Cock at night, lit with a golden glow against a velvety navy sky. A large fountain playfully ejaculates in the foreground.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.
