I mean. THAT'S a band. youtu.be/MuKp06QAyz0?...

My girl cat will sit with me on the couch for hours while I write. My boy cat needs to get up in my space, step on the keyboard, squirm around next to me, and threaten to push girl cat off the couch. He's also a little love bug. Girl cat, not so much. She demands worship. (And I worship her.)

One thing I've been wrestling with for years now is the writing of romance. As a genre, romance is a billion-dollar industry. And as a reader of romance, and as a writer myself, I know that good successful romance novels don't come from bad writers. You have to know your shit to be successful.

Love this song. youtu.be/IE8zZ7OGfto?...

This is prolly going to be a Billy Idol appreciation channel at least until I go see him play live later this year. (Though I always reserve the right to post whatever music is inspiring me. Duh.) youtu.be/GZB-bXzexxQ?...

Was a teenager when I first heard this song. Thought it was a perfect song then. Still think it's a perfect song now. youtu.be/VdphvuyaV_I?...

Also, bravo Wisconsin and Cory Booker.

You'd think I'd stop being shocked by the discovering that yet another artist is so much more than how they were initially marketed (or how they were marketed at the most successful point of their career) but nope. I keep getting shocked by it.

...and still down a Billy Idol rabbit hole. youtu.be/CrNnsKxvUs0?...

Still really liking this incarnation of Linkin Park. youtu.be/97Mj6pXYMd8?...

This is exactly how I feel at this moment. youtu.be/F-tin7EONvU?...

This is always how I'm gonna prefer music. No Auto Tune, no backing tracks. Just a rock band with everyone giving 110%. youtu.be/mwgeWTUiQcI?...

This song by Billy Idol is all I want to hear right now. That and his holiday album. youtu.be/-5vJ1xzfnDA?...

I know if you're talking about Emmanuel Macron, it's not a black/white discussion. I'm aware he's not exactly a French Bernie Sanders or AOC. But if you just leave politics aside for a moment: I'm so fascinated by his relationship with his wife. Just endlessly fascinated.

Humans make me tired. I prefer trees. Please, trees. I love you so much. Please don't fall on my house. Because I need to believe in trees.

Hey Democratic Party, You ain’t raising money until you start raising hell. Sincerely, A Huge Portion of Your Supporters

The way Democrats keep trying to fundraise off our panic and fear is sickening. Just STOP. Treat the moment with the urgency it deserves. Give us something that's worth funding.

Emmanuel Macron, fuck yeah.

It's my birthday, so as a gift to myself, you can probably guess what I won't be watching tonight.

One thing I will never understand is how some folks can so vehemently champion the victims of one genocide (as they should) and yet in the same breath, participate in hateful propaganda that targets the victims of a separate, but equally heinous genocide. Genocide=bad. No need to pick just one.

It's Read an ebook Week at @smashwords.bsky.social! Both of my books are discounted this week. (Get both for less than two bucks!) #ebookweek25 #Smashwords #authorandreamaxand www.smashwords.com/profile/view...

Continuing with my tradition of saying the things here that I may not say elsewhere: the people I'm angriest with at this exact moment is all the people on the left who couldn't vote for Kamala Harris because she didn't pass your purity test. Is this honestly better?

A worldview that includes eugenics is a worldview that embraces systematized death. It's not about progress, or efficiency. It's sickness. And if you think you'll be exempt from the death machine, you're wrong.
