The DOJ will indict one man over something that happened 30 years ago as a pretext for invading Cuba, but it won’t indict *any* men Jeffrey Epstein trafficked girls to as recently as 7 years ago as a pretext for protecting those men. Time to remove the word “Justice” from the department’s name.

February 5, 2025. Trump announces he is going to build a new ballroom at the WH and pay for it with his own money: “It’s going to cost nothing. I will spend the whole thing myself.”

I don’t think the political party that’s spent 30 years telling us ‘actually everyone should have guns, no restrictions ’ should try and pin the blame for political violence on the party that’s been saying ‘more guns is bad and we should have some common sense limits’ for 30 years.

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

Replying to
@JenniferJJacobs
The shooting happened on the level above the ballroom where the White House Correspondents Association dinner was.
I don't think people hearing about this -- or even those of us in the room -- realized how far from the president, VP and other guests this incident was. It was on another floor, up some stairs and several sets of security away.
Because the Washington Hilton's hotel and other public spaces were open for other functions, the entire building wasn't secured by the Secret Service, just the specific areas where the WHCA dinner was held, law enforcement officials told @CBSNews
.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

Agent’s guide to WILDERWOOD, a 76,000 word YA fantasy mystery! #agentsguide #writingcommunity #amquerying

Mood board showing castles, forests, a dead deer, fungi, a murder board, and tapes

Fifteen-year-old Quinton Crow arrives at Holloway Institute hoping for a fresh start. All he has to do to leave his past behind is keep his head down and paranormal abilities in check. But his plan falls apart when he finds a fellow student murdered, her dead body being devoured by the forest called Wilderwood. Suddenly a prime suspect in the case, he must investigate to clear his name. But when he begins to dream of the Wilderwood, and finds the forest growing inside him, killing him from the inside out, he questions if he’s really as innocent as he’s trying to prove

Shows covers of Truly, Devious, and Don’t Let the Forest in. Shows a list of tropes

Quote: There was a thin line between paranormal investigation and instigation, and currently, the only things between it were me and my grave.

1972 has been a rough year for intelligence officer Eddie Fletcher, and it’s only January.

First he discovers the Cold War is really about time travel, then he’s framed for the UK’s role in a temporal disaster.

Sealing a lethal time rift is the only way to clear his name - much easier said than done when he’s being hunted by the British government.

Then there's a Russian spy on a mission so vital he’s travelled from 1997 to complete it.

She hated gym class, scary stories, green beans, and movies where the female love interest never got any of the good lines. She didn’t have a lot of friends, but sometimes, in group settings, she had the satisfaction of saying something really funny, usually on purpose.

A picrew image of a young man over a beach with text reading Milo Vance at the top. To the right is a block of text that reads:

“If you’re scared, I’ll do it with you,” Milo said. He said it as though it were the most natural thing in the world. When Edie looked at him, he was holding out his hand, and watching her with a sincerity she didn’t think she’d ever seen on anyone’s face. If it had been anyone else, at any other time, she would have thought they were making fun of her; but not Milo.

A picrew image of a young woman over the ocean with text reading Catarina Novikov at the top. To the right is a block of text that reads:

“I don’t know. We didn’t know any better. But maybe we do now. Maybe Edie’s wrong, I don’t know. But I sincerely hope that I never get to a point in my life where I can’t admit when I’m wrong. And if I am, I can’t change anything I've done, but maybe I can stop myself from repeating the same mistakes. Isn’t that worth at least considering?”

A picrew portrait of a young man wearing sunglasses overlaid on a beach. The name Manny Torres is on top, with a block of text to the right reading:

“You’re right about that. Grief just…becomes this thing inside of you. Like every time you want to see them, or talk to them, it just goes into this hard, black lump, somewhere deep down in your guts. Because those thoughts can’t go anywhere else. They just collect there, stuck inside of you. I think they say grief makes a hole inside of you because we’re all too scared to see what’s inside of it.”

After returning to her family’s crumbling estate and finding the gardener dead, a reluctant heiress partners with his son to break a generational curse before it claims her too. 🕯 Gaslight, Gatekeep, Ghosts 🔥 If the House Doesn’t Kill You, Love Might #LuckyPit #PopUpPitA #PopUpPit #H #A #Gothic

Nineteen-year-old Lottie Bradbury is called home to her crumbling family estate with an ultimatum: marry or let the Bradbury name die. But in a post-war world where old traditions are crumbling and women are claiming new independence, Lottie refuses to be controlled.

Her introduction is disrupted when the gardener is found dead, his skull shattered on the manor steps. His son, Arthur, warns Lottie that the house is hungry, that it killed his father—just as it did her mother a decade ago. And it’s not finished.

Determined to seize control of her own fate, Lottie digs into the manor’s past, only to realize the house has other plans. Strange footsteps at night. Whispers slithering through the halls. Shadows shifting where none should be. Arthur insists the manor is alive, feeding on the sins of her ancestors, that her family is cursed. But he’s not the only one keeping secrets, and the deeper she digs, the harder it is to know who to trust.

THE LAST HEIR OF BRADBURY MANOR is a slow-burn gothic horror set in 1919, blending the creeping dread of The Hacienda with the sentient menace of Starling House. A tale of inheritance, obsession, and a house that refuses to let go. The manuscript is complete at 96,000 words.

Comps for The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor:

Starling House: Dark inheritance, Family secrets, Sentient house

The Hacienda: Unresolved grief, Psychological unraveling, Supernatural dread

Crimson Peak: Decaying grandeur, Gothic vibes

A mood board for The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor with...

A decaying, messed up sitting room
A spooky staincase with a girl walking
A girl climbing out of a well
A book on fire
A cozy Edwardian dinner party
A spooky gothic dinner party

Text that reads: breaking the curse means losing him forever. Embracing it may damn her soul
