I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

WGA Statement on ABC's Decision to Pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WGA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

So, if y'all wonder why I'm not posting as much about drafting and editing for the next few months - that's why. Book 2 IS still coming, but we agreed it was better to push it to the backburner for awhile than have it come out rushed and subpar.

erica hollis is taking a break (sort of) @ericahollis.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

I've recently decided, with the support of my editor, to take a step back from working on Book 2 for awhile. Lots of factors went into this, the main one being that my non-writing responsibilities have to come first at the moment. Luckily Book 2 isn't even up for pre-order yet.

Social media has been a toxic hellhole for women and people of color since Gamergate and likely before. That it takes the murder of a guy who actively made the space worse for everyone for law enforcement and politicians to start talking about it is … something.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

erininthemorning.com

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life

Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

I'm sure a lot of those actors would say they don't have anything against trans people and it might even be true. But boy, it is not fun to see several of your favorite actors, some of them self-proclaimed allies, decide that the safety of trans people is an acceptable loss.

just remembering this episode of the golden girls, when dorothy found out her friend was a member of a club that discriminated against jewish people, and her friend tried to justify it by saying it wasn't "her" policy. thinking about that and looking at the cast list of that fucking audiobook.

A screencap from The Golden Girls' episode "Dorothy's New Friend". Dorothy looks upset and asks, "Barbara, why are you a member of a club like that?"

A second screencap from the same episode. Barbara says, "Because they serve a great breakfast, and the parking is free. Besides, it's their policy, not mine!"

Dorothy responds, "Yeah, but you tolerate it."

Every time someone refers to the Epstein list as a “hoax”, the survivors are being re-traumatized. Coming forward after a sexual assault is terrifying. You’re often gaslit, blamed or disbelieved. It takes incredible courage and these women deserve better than to be made into a conspiracy theory

erica hollis is taking a break (sort of) @ericahollis.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

so jennette mccurdy is getting hate for depicting a toxic relationship in her debut novel....because apparently now if you want to explore traumatic or dark topics in fiction you need to have a title like "BAD PEOPLE DOING BAD THINGS THAT NO ONE SHOULD DO BECAUSE IT'S BAD".
