Ye gods Screenshot from an email I just got from someone, which I am just sharing to say: PAY NO ONE. You, as the creative person, should get paid. These truckloads of bullshit are easy to cut through: Who’s getting paid? If it’s not you, run away. It’s a scam.

I have allegedly been offered an opportunity to publish my book with Henry Holt. They are asking for two things:
A Universal Media Core Dispatch and an Executive Acquisition Pitch. They are telling me that they need these two things and that I should use a Hollywood screenwriter. They are charging a huge amount of money. I am just wondering if this seems legit or if they are trying to take me to the cleaners.

ICE remains very active in WA State, but there is less news coverage about it, along with a concern that their abductions are becoming normalized. ICE abductions continue to happen all the time in the Puget Sound area. Sounds like this weekend might have been particularly busy.

Batman’s Aff His Nut By Robert Florence

BATMAN'S AFF HIS NUT

Batman's aff his nut
Have you seen the way he cuts aboot
Dressed up as a mad fuckin bat
Batterin guys
I was lit at:
"Mate, I'm worried aboot ye I know your ma and da died But everybody's ma and da dies And we're no aw runnin aboot
Hookin muggers and
Kickin psychopaths in the baws." And that was when Batman went
"Aye, but do ye ever feel like it?
Do you ever look at the world and feel like it?
Like having a big mad base under your hoose?
Do you ever feel like drivin a big mad motor that turns intae a tank?
And leatherin fuck oot of guys aw night?
Scarin the fuckin shite oot of them?"
And that was when I was lit at:
"Aye. Fuck it. Ah dae."
And that's the Secret Origin of Robin and everybody else.

If you're wondering why authors are getting so rabid here: First Anthropic stole our books. Then we got denied compensation because of US unjust copyright law and publishers failing to meet their contractual obligations. Then publishers and agents apparently claimed author shares. Now this.

Adam Rakunas @rakdaddy.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Maybe we shouldn't have done this class action against Anthropic but should have instead sat back and let Romancelandia raze them. Sure, we wouldn't get our measly settlement money, but the utter destruction of Anthropic would have served as a warning to the other slop farms to surrender.

I think everyone should see this incredible picture of Dolly Parton: it’s by Stacie Williams (asterosperma on Instagram) and it’s called The Queen of Appalachia

A stunning screenprint image in a style which is part folk art, part religious icon. Dolly Parton sits on a throne-like wooden chair, surrounded by garlands of flowers and leaves. Orange butterflies (I think they are monarchs?) hover around her head. Her hair is huge and golden, and she is wearing a long, sweeping orange gown, which is turned up over her knee to show off her brown knee length high heeled boots. Two black bear cubs play around her, one on the floor and one in her lap. Dolly stares calmly at the viewer. Her right hand is raised in benediction, and in her left she holds a ripe strawberry which she is feeding to one of the bear cubs.
