In case anyone hasn’t yet seen the letter from Senator Tom Tillis of N. Carolina to a U.S. constituent who expressed concern about the language re: Canada as a 51st state, read this. This is how they’re talking about our sovereign nation. Mention of “territory.” NO statehood. 🇨🇦

“Canadians aren’t seriously feeling threatened, are they?” My brother just texted this to me, the biggest pacifist and firearms loathed in the world, and I’m all for it:

“I hate when authors are political” Me: Okay, I’ll just write about dragons then 🐉

Quote from upcoming book by K A Riley

“It’s different on Pax’s side of the river. Over there, girls are practically pets. They wear red metal collars around their necks, and they have trainers and Handlers until they turn eighteen. Until then, they’re called “Darlings.” After that, as long as they pass their Socializing Exams, they’re called “Belles,” and they get to live without restrictions.
More or less.
They’re still prevented from having certain jobs, going certain places, or holding certain positions in society. They still have to answer to men and be alert and afraid pretty much all the time. And they still have to wear those red metal collars.
It used to be like that on our side the river, too, but that ended five hundred years ago after the Dragon Wars. According to the old stories, dragons saved us, freed us, and gave us power.
That’s why the Crystalbayers killed them all.
So the stories say.”

If you’re entering 2025 with the hopes of ruining your business in an expedient manner, use generative AI instead of humans to do human work. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Have we not learned by now that absorbing every horrible impulse and lack of filter displayed on social media means AI is, at its core, horrible?

A gentle reminder that Bluesky doesn’t have an algorithm per se and posts get seen because people repost them and also, in order to practice your reposting skills you could just hit the repost button and accidentally share all these book covers that I definitely added to this post accidentally 📚💙
