This is a pretty crazy situation. It is a strong example of what happens when someone has become marginalised to the point at which the law kind of ceases to recognise them. This allows abusers to get away with incredible things.

It was rain AND shine at this year’s LA Times #FestivalofBooks. Always love wandering & seeing panels (w/the likes of @scalzi.com, @wilwheaton.net and @porochista.bsky.social). It reinvigorates a love for writing because the love people have for doing it & reading it is palpable. #booksky #bookfest

Today I have a book review in @theatlantic ! Mariam Rahmani’s LIQUID: A LOVE STORY (@algonquinbooks ). It is one of the best Iranian-American novels I have read in ages! www.theatlantic.com/books/archiv...

An Iranian American Rom-Com That Breaks the Mold

Mariam Rahmani’s debut novel is both charmingly familiar and totally unpredictable.

Do you have any idea how badly you have to fuck up a website to get a band that relies on social media to sell tickets to our little shows and stuff to nuke an account where we had 160k followers
