Nah, he'll be there to talk about another way he's monetizing the series he refuses to finish. Maybe another re-release of the unfinished ASoIaF books for a special edition?

Happy Juneteenth! It's a good day to support black businesses, educate yourself, and/or support black authors, at the very least. ❤️

I maintain a Twitter presence just to follow a few folks who aren't on here. What a shitty platform. I get 10 or so "you've been added to" emails from bots spamming me, FFS.

Why in the hell would anyone outside the U.S. ever want to have anything to do with us if THIS is how we treat our allies? Shameful, disgusting, unforgivable, and the absolute norm of this repugnant administration.

38 Special's "Caught Up In You" is a song about a musclebound sub male kneeling at the feet of a petite Domme who can control him with a look. Prove me wrong.

If you are a Republican having doubts and want to understand how to feel kindness, or if you want to listen to a manifesto of my outlook as a social worker and therapist bundled into a song, go listen to Under Pressure while reading the lyrics. While closely reading the lyrics. Then you'll get it.
