*snickering*

HGTV pulled Married to Real Estate. I need the powers that be to understand that if I do not have my preferred distraction content it leaves me with more free time than they want me to have.

Oh no I need them

I will not make it to Socialism 2025 next weekend on account of my needing to sit the hell down for like two seconds but I made a donation to organizer @haymarketbooks.org which is almost as good. socialismconference.org

“You don’t need anyone’s permission to do meaningful work. Time is short. Just do it.” Definitely something I’m still working on and in need of being told

HOT COMMIE SUMMER

"You don’t need anyone’s permission to do meaningful work" 🖤

"The practical applications of spite can be powerful in the creation of a thing but it’s love that keeps them going." 🖤

Realizing how much of the project's history was on Twitter before The Troubles started, today on the blog, I offer a brief history of the Ignyte Awards, winner of the 2025 Locus Special Award. www.ldlewiswrites.com/news-updates/blr1cll6k240urnbkg9dmjrmg8iyqq

I become SO angry every time I get another email about Gemini AI bullshit being forced into something I'm using. A pox on everyone responsible, truly.

Something the Mamdani win demonstrates is the extent to which the reigning cadre of ancient, establishment, centrist Dems think it’s more important to be on good terms with their GOP colleagues than it is to represent their own voters, and how thoroughly sick of this literally everyone is.

It's 10am and "feels like" 94 degrees out please stop

Well

Cuomo, his predator squad, the centrists, and every racist you know are so mad tonight and I am living

look how much money Cuomo got from the billionaire class compared to how little Zohran Mamdani raised from the people. 36 million to 9 million and Cuomo still lost.

Zohran Mamdani ran a perfect “Boi He Bout to Do It” campaign

love this picture of a novelist sitting in on the poetry workshop

Young Judge Doom-codes somehow

Placed my order!

My first cover!!! I'm so excited to see it all laid out, check it out!! And thankyou so much for the opportunity, what a pleasure to work on this book, so many easter eggs on the cover too, you'll have to read it to find out what the murderboard means....

It's officially YEAR OF THE MER blurbin' season. Congratulations to everyone I'm about to email with earnest requests

My birthday is in two weeks and I'm trying to figure out how to make some blue crab happen when I'm not in Maryland 😫

“DRACULA” can stand for “Don’t Rank Andrew Cuomo’s Useless Lazy Ass” or “Don’t Rank Andrew Cuomo’s Useless Lecherous Ass” because this is a big-tent movement where we believe in ideological diversity

I turned in my line edits no one ask me to do anything else ever again

The response to Zohran Mamdani's campaign reminds me of the stories I've heard from ambitious, optimistic Millennials (esp. BIPOC) whose ideas are repeatedly shot down by managers, are told they don't have enough experience to be leaders, and are constantly subjected to microaggressions and racism.

The great loss of smoking culture is the unreplaced eroticism of lightning someone else's cigarette.

Wrapping up my line edits today and I want to assure you that every last em dash is intentional and implemented entirely by myself or my editor and we are both real living human beings as far as I am aware.

they’re assembling the pervert megazord

Here's a fun browser-based game called Don't Rank Cuomo, where you can practice not ranking Cuomo! radiatoryang.itch.io/cuomo

Vote Mamdani to embarrass this specific generation of wealthy degenerate sex pests
