Those who are caught can’t remember anything. The government wiped their minds, & Mer wants to make sure it won’t happen again. But how will she escape govt agents, deal with betrayal, & let herself return a traitor’s love🌈 if the govt puts a chip in her head? #QuestPit #Q #NA
A tracking board, like one used by officials who are hunting down fugitives, features a collage of pictures on top of a map of New England.  Headshots of a nonbinary pilot and a woman are on the top of the board, with another picture of them kissing on the bottom right.  The board also shows a golden, old-fashioned plane that they used to escape.  There is a picture of a microchip off to one side that shows the woman fighting a government agent, and a picture on the other side that is marked "top secret."  In the center of the board is a gif of the woman holding a gun and pointing it at the viewer.  She smirks and says “it’s good to see you, too.”  The following message is scrawled across a scrap of paper at the top of the board: “in a game of mind-control, love and choice are always a memory apart.”

Graphic for the adult dark fantasy novel Souls of Verdance. A red-haired woman stands before a towering castle beneath a swirling blue-and-gold night sky, framed by flowers, vines, bones, severed fingers, eyes, and skeletal hands. A cracked gold coin with an eye symbol hangs above, and a gray hand holds a walnut below the title. Text reads: "Adult Dark Fantasy. In a kingdom where magic steals body parts, emotions, and even memories, a grieving young woman creates a soulless girl wearing her face to bargain with the Prince of the Underworld before the same magic that killed her parents comes for the rest of her family."

By working class, you clearly mean white people, when in reality, nearly half of the working class aren't white. We were never left behind. We were moving forward. Unlike the white working class, we didn't fall for the Southern Strategy. Lyndon Johnson said in the 60s, and it's still true today.
I'll tell you what's at the bottom of it. If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you. Lyndon B. Johnson

THE UNYIELDING MONSIEUR DE BLANC MEXICAN GOTHIC x STARLING HOUSE Dark Southern Gothic w/ Horror elements. 🕯️An orphan seeking security ⌛An immortal man bound by a curse 📰A marriage notice that is a trap Nellie must choose: her heart or her survival #QuestPit #Q #A #HR #H #DR
A dark teal and black patterned card for THE UNYIELDING MONSIEUR DE BLANC. The background has vintage deep shades of pink and purple roses on the top of the frame. Centered is a small hourglass made with bones and a skull symbolizing the immortal + horror elements of the story. There is a note on there that the story is 70,000 words and a Dark Southern Gothic with Horror Elements. A pitch slide with a deep teal background and black magnolia patterns. A skull with purple and pink roses and more deep pink and purple roses act as decorations. The pitch reads: "The Unyielding Monsieur de Blanc follows Nellie Moore in 1872, lured to a New Orleans estate by a marriage notice promising security. There, she encounters a man as captivating as he is complex, a man bound by a curse that has kept him alive for over a century. 
As an impossible attraction sparks, Nellie’s search for the truth reveals that some secrets are meant to stay buried, and some doors, once opened, can never be closed again." Two book covers adorn the card with deep teal and black magnolia patterns, pink and purple roses framing the bottom. 
MEXICAN GOTHIC - The atmostpheric dread and family legacy. 
STARLING HOUSE - A cursed, burdened heroTeal and black magnolia patterns in the background along with a pink and purple rose decoration in the top right corner. Other images include, a candlestick with a burning flame, a pocket watch, a burned newspaper with a woman dressed in 19th century attire. The card includes a snippet of the book as below: 

Nellie cleared her throat, and he turned slowly. His broad shoulders squared as he measured her with gray, unflinching eyes. 

“I do not care for shadows in my doorway. Step forward.”
 
Nellie could not speak for a moment. Such a man naturally commanded her. He seemed powerful, severe, and entirely too confident. “I—I beg your pardon, sir,” she stuttered, her voice small in the vast room. “I am Nellie Moore.” 

A brief unreadable softness touched his features before he stiffened, his expression once again a mask of stone. “I am Monsieur de Blanc, or Mr. De Blanc, as you Americans prefer.” 

His thick French accent was like bourbon; it was smooth, but with a burn that unsettled her. Nellie stared, stunned. This was him, the man she was to marry. She had expected someone older, not this gentleman in his late twenties with a face so...strikingly symmetrical. 

“Do find your breath, Mademoiselle. I have enough to manage today without adding a fainting spell to the afternoon’s agenda. I’ve never had much patience for delicate women.” 

The insult was a splash of frigid water, bringing her back to herself. The orphan inside of her who spent her days scrubbing floors and managing unruly children suddenly bubbled to the surface. She adjusted the lace on her shoulders and met his gaze with a leveled stare that mirrored his own coldness. 

“You needn’t worry, sir,” she said, her voice surprisingly crisp. “I am merely trying to reconcile the man in front of me with the one I was promised in the letters.” 

A flicker of mild interest passed over his face. “Is that so?” he murmured, arms folded tightly. “Fortune favors you, then. I am not the man from your letters.”

AIPAC is bad, but it’s not UNIQUELY bad. Even if you don’t understand that, at least the DNC does. 1/
I want to start by saying, I HATE AIPAC. 

AIPAC has been pretty terrible at least since Bibi was first elected, which was my whole life. 

I’m a progressive Jew, we grow up hearing about AIPAC the same way Progressive Americans grow up hearing about the NRA. So we’re clear on that? Great. 

AIPAC is bad, AND it’s not some boogey monster. It’s not responsible for everything bad in your life personally or our lives collectively or the Democratic party or the government. And when you give it that much power, you are essentially saying this PAC, that is run by Jews, controls the country. 

That IS an antisemitic trope. It’s pretty much the oldest one in the book. Jews control the world, the country and the money. And the way people talk about AIPAC is all those things. 

So whenever AIPAC is mentioned at all, many people on the left go a bit feral. It’s an easy scapegoat to blame — it’s a bad organization and antisemitism is pretty acceptable in leftist spaces. It also means no one ever questions when AIPAC is used as the scapegoat. One you see the letters AIPAC that’s enough proof of whatever. 

Publications know this too, which is why their job is quite easy, especially when it comes to helping divide Democrats.
