Stop fucking using genAI. Not even for a joke, not even for that oh so cutting political satire. Every time you use it, you are actively taking food out of our mouths. You are using the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it.

Americans (particularly writers and booksellers) have a responsibility to circulate information that the state wants to fall out of the news cycle -how the CIA trafficked arms to ISIS and Al-Quaeda in Syria, how the US betrayed the Kurds fighting ISIS in Rojava.

When the the regime labels random activist groups as terrorists the intent is in fact deliberate; by stripping any meaning from the term they hope to confuse the public and divert attention from the fact that the USA itself is the world's largest sponsor of terrorism, domestic and international.

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

I love it when JRPGs do this
Three eggs with legs: the first, a normal white egg, is under text that says (first 20 minutes of gameplay). It's titled "Egglet", and has 2 strength and 4 defense.

The second egg, which is made of magma, is under text that says (40 hours in). It's titled "Vulcan Yolk", and has 365 strength and 700 defense.

The final egg is under text which says (120 hour+ postgame dungeon). It is a jewel-studded glowing blue egg, and is titled "Fabergé Genocide Embryo". It has 1600 strength and 4000 defense.

🌸✨$1 sale on itch cause I’m feeling it this week✨🌸 Through Sunday 🫶🏻 aubreyennis.itch.io/name-her-holy
Cover of the book Name Her Holy on an eReader. Tropes called out are-

Trans fem Valkyrie 
For the locked tomb enjoyers
Dead cosmic god rising from the grave
Chronically ill chosen one
Oath swearing as a lesbian love language
Slowest slowburn

Cover art: 

Book cover art for Name Her Holy by Aubrey Ennis. The cover has two women standing against a starry twilight background with a pale sun. At the forefront Kye stands facing forward, one hand held up with a cold flame and billowing black smoke. She is wearing dark purple robes with a high color and gold accents. She has dark wavy brown hair that comes to her chin, tan skin covered in light scars, and pale gray eyes. Behind her Jude stands in profile, a head taller than Kye. She is in leather armor stamped with meadow floral designs, holding a golden sword etched with light oak leaves. Jude is white, has long auburn hair in a braid with an undercut at the sides. She has a long scar across her nose and freckles on her cheeks. The sun rises behind her. A border of flowers and stars creates an arch above them with a deep purple background.
