89% percent humidity, though? 😭

We have a little break from the 95-degree weather today, so I should probably go seek out some combo of daylight, human interaction, and groceries.

A queer 56-year-old loser with a voice like sex. A brown Millennial writer searching for answers. A bit of inspiration from Springsteen, Kevin Bacon, and Hozier. It's NOBODY'S BARGAIN but it might be your jam. My alter ego's latest is just $2.99. Buy links: books2read.com/u/bxD0no

A story that got less attention was the incredibly cynical primary of my amazing Councilwoman—the first Muslim woman ever elected to the NYC Council—by a billionaire, corporate-backed candidate also lobbing gross accusations of antisemitism. Anyway, the challenger got trounced. Hell yea.

BREAKING: Andrew Cuomo concedes New York City Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani. apnews.com/article/andr...

Will the national media admit that Andrew Cuomo's attempts to make this a referendum on Israel totally backfired and Zohran Mamdani's intense focus on housing and public transit won it?

I’m enjoying IRONHEART so far. Excellent use of Alanis Morrisette in episode 2. Those review-bombing losers can fuck themselves with adamantium claws.

If Cuomo loses every New Yorker should get to give him one free kick in the balls. Two if he wins

Cause of death: Pedro Pascal for Vanity Fair

Pedro Pascal defended calling out JK Rowling as a "heinous loser" and said that "bullies make me fucking sick" and that he wants to "protect the people I love." variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Delighted to let people know that Sangu Mandanna’s upcoming second book is a goddamn delight even more than the first one was, has ruined me for all other cozy witch romance: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/696868...

Relevant to our Romancelandia interests. We've got movies based on books by Taj McCoy and Carla De Guzman coming up, just to name a few!

Stefano DiMera just came back from the dead for the eleventy-billionth time to endorse Cuomo.

AOC from the top rope 🔥….grandpa is gonna love that last part

the detail about the dog lying in state beside them has unexpectedly fucked me up

I have WIPs in the Third Shift world. I'll reread one and get a spark of "You could finish it." Then I just freeze up. BBW and PLL were my "swing for the fences" books. Now, just leaving the dugout scares me. And what's with the metaphors today? Frog dissection? Baseball? 😂 Get offline, Suleikha.

I don’t know how long this sale will last, so grab them while they’re cheap. :)

Time for end-of-month rattling of the authorial tin cup! My high-heat Red Carpet e-novellas are all available at Amazon, Kobo, Apple, & B&N for $2.99. I also have BAD DESIRE, a filthy age-gap Springsteen-inspired short for $1.99. Buy links: www.suleikhasnyder.com/p/the-kali-d...

Its a ciabattasaurus

This is *extremely* dangerous. ICE detained people, including a family with 3 children, in an office building basement in California without enough food or water. Rampant human rights abuses daily. Guardian article: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I told myself I’d go outside today, because I’m approaching feral status in the unlit cave, and I think I lied.

Exeter, pursued by a bear

For a good portion of my adult life, I've been both an author and a paid media critic. It's an interesting line to straddle.

*strums lute* Reviews are for readers, Leave reviewers alone. Goodreads isn't Kirkus, And readers can see you groan. Critique comes in many forms, (-Isms and phobics don't apply) Keep it moving, keep writing, And if folks truly get in your personal space, tell 'em bye. *strums lute*

As a reviewer I have a lot to say about this topic. Here is the thing I say most often: Did the review spell your name right, and the name of your book correctly, too? YOU WIN. Go home. Celebrate. There is nothing more to do. Someone. Talked. About. Your. Book.

The Dutch have the chance to do the funniest thing

Can they just keep him there?

Since NOBODY’S BARGAIN has no reviews on Amazon, I keep being tempted to check Goodreads. Then I slap my hand and stop myself. I haven’t checked that site in years. I have enough neuroses already.

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital. CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one PELOSI: Take the shot

Not to belabor the point, but I wrote a how-to. For writing. I think about writing and the choices, a lot. ko-fi.com/s/4aed3fda2f

according to conservatives on the court, the constitution does not protect your right to your own body but does enable the government to ship you off to a foreign gulag without any hope of return

Every year, I’m like “I don’t need to buy an A/C just for the four days of summer that are truly unbearable.” And then the four days roll around and I curse myself soundly.

The nerdery is embedded in me so deep that I don't even realize how far it goes. I was looking over an old story and there was a TK for a hotel room number. I put in 421 without even thinking about it. (For those wondering what makes that nerdy, TK-421 is a stormtrooper's designation in Star Wars.)
