Big thanks to Kristopher Zgorski of BOLO Books for this lovely review of Brimstone & Blades! "Readers looking for kickass LGBTQIA+ representation will delight in this tale—reminding us that more things change, the more they stay the same and that we must never give up the fight."

Psst. Think about how likely you would be to believe Musk unconditionally, without further corroboration, if he tweeted that Bill Clinton or Joe Biden or Barack Obama was in the Epstein files.

Last year, fans were very excited about Chappell Roan in "armor" at the VMAs, shooting a flaming arrow. Fans called her "Julie d'Aubigny." She wasn't. THIS is Julie d'Aubigny. AND SHE'S HERE! #chappellroan #history #queer #duelist #historicalfantasy linktr.ee/lamaupin

To all the folks bitching about Pride Month because they think we should have a Military Appreciation Month instead: Congress designated May as National Military Appreciation Month in 1999. Funny how folks that claim to care so much about the military don’t know that.

Supposedly a late-1800s physics schoolbook contained the example question, “Why can not a man lift himself by pulling up on his bootstraps?” The answer required one to prove exactly why such a thing is physically impossible. Because it is.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

So this terrorist came to the United States from Egypt legally two years ago, was legally in the country until March of 2025, and then illegally overstayed. According to the TACO, that’s Biden’s fault. I was unaware that Biden was still president back in March.
