What we saw today was two jumped up thugs and their bootlicking sychophants laughing at the US Constitution, the supreme court, and the idea that anyone can stop them from doing anything they want www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The Constitutional Crisis Is Here

The Supreme Court told the Trump administration to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador’s infamous CECOT prison. So far, the administration is pretending to comply while re...

A snippet from Goddess With a Blade book 8: BLOOD AND MAGIC by Lauren Dane (available in mass market paper, audio and digital formats)

A quote from Lauren Dane’s, BLOOD AND MAGIC: “We are not humans. We are the Conclave.” Genevieve’s magic swirled around her, mimicking Dust Devils in the wild. “I am beyond your petty powers and potions. Go and tell them, Felix. They can know and their choice after that will be in their shoulders.”

Honestly there’s no high quite like an editorial note telling you how much this or that thing works.

I followed @skywatch.bsky.social and made use of their “lists” to manually block bad actors since it’s looking like we have to do this ourselves.

It’s a wild world when someone this obscenely rich is whining about people wanting to be compensated fairly.

My affirmation as I near the end of this book. Thank you, Margaret Atwood

So unless you’re in a motorcycle gang, a snake specialist/lover, or you’re an 8 year old, calling yourself a snake based nickname seems…needy.

The devil has enough advocates, Kevin. The world is not gagging to hear your conspiracy theory laden rants about vaccines, women who speak up for themselves, or lizards. You add nothing but misery and that is why people block you the moment you pop up in their feed.

My conspiracy theory is that in addition to promoting racism and antisemitism from blue check clad eugenicists, twitter is now elevating racist content from non-whites to give it a feeling of broad consensus. Also minor point but “the jews don’t date interracially” is a new one for me!

OT: Y’all ever notice interracial dating is only prevalent among the poor races? The Jews would never, the Saudis would never, and neither do the Asians

QT: This is alarmingly dumb but also The Saudis are a race now? The problem with the model minority nonsense is that it ignores legitimate community issues~12.6% of Asians in the US live below poverty. Which is lower than Black folks, but higher than the national average

I’m at the place in this book, that end-of-the-middle transition to the closing chapters. Where the dismount really counts. I’m simultaneously treading carefully and excited to start the last act.

Had to get my eyes dilated for my appointment earlier today. My pupils haven’t looked like this since college.

Trying to get my words on this book in so I can work on edits later today. I can switch projects like this because the edits are for a contemporary romance while my WIP is urban fantasy so I can keep them separate.

Grief is a process I expected to have a definite end to. But that’s not true. Grief is a road you’ll be on for the rest of your life. After a while, the roadblocks come less often, but still at breathtakingly random moments you least expect it.

You will not get over a loss; you will learn to live with it. You will be whole again, but you will never be the same. Nor would you want to. Elizabeth Kubler Ross

Figured out a very key fact in this novel last night right as I was shutting down for the day. Always so pleased when that happens and I realize I can, indeed, do this.

These mushrooms were soooooo good. The restaurant we get them at is sadly not one we visit anymore (they add a 20% service charge that is NOT given to servers or staff) I’ve been trying to recreate them though!

I have edits back, so naturally I’m here. The Lauren Dane story. However I did manage 3k new words written on my next deadline book so that’s not bad

To start, why not a bit of Audre Lorde?

From “Touring” by Audre Lorde

I leave poems behind me
Dropping them like dark seeds that
I will never harvest
That I will never mourn
