My agent (who soon retired) had the first draft of Lock & Mori for 24 whole hours when Natalie Dormer came out as a female Moriarty on Elementary.

FYI to artists: I'm told that Discord has updated to add generative AI to its systems that allow users to edit ANY image using AI without permission. As of right now, I don't know that there are opt-outs on this. I'd personally be wary of sharing images on Discord.

I super love when they try to choreograph yard work during a television show and the guy is like watering one spot on his gravel driveway for no reason known to man.

My husband just had a procedure that will kill off his immune system for the next six months to a year. And I'd just like to point out that it's a really bad time for idiotic GOP Senators to confirm the appointment of a low-intelligence, anti-vax, conspiracy theorist to head HHS.

I’ve called mine, and he’s never had a single thought that wasn’t fed to him from the GOP Trashcan messengers.

I desperately need this security firm to lose its license and these goons to have to pay her copious amounts of money in a civil assault lawsuit. And in the meantime, I'm going to be one of hopefully thousands who make complaints about the sheriff of this town. Rage. So much rage.

The GOP will now forever be known as the party that turned the U.S. into a Bond villain. What a satisfying legacy that must be.

I'm old enough to remember all the horrors people used to project onto gay people to justify their hatred and fear. And now I'm watching people justify that same hate and fear against trans people over bathrooms and sports. Because it was never about the horrors. It was always just hate and fear.

The Lumberjack made us the first meal I ever made for him for Valentines Day this year. It was yummy, and he is the cutest.

There is no pride without transgender people. His pathetic black marker signature on a piece of paper does not and will not erase an entire group of people from existence. What an embarrassment he is. And everyone who bends a knee to this trashy man-baby should be embarrassed too.

Really just want to live in the timeline where I say vague things about the book I'm writing and brag about how awesome my kid is and how cute my cats are. ...feeling like I may never get to have that again.

Every time I'm forced to see that pathetic, cringe-worthy "Gulf of America" poster board, an ICE officer should lose his badge.

"President Trump, meanwhile, is busy with other things, like vendettas, and jabbering. He's so completely absorbed in an unwinnable war with his own insecurities..." Good stuff this. I'd love to see US news sources lay things this bare.

What if, I don't know, instead of introducing a bill that 1) has no chance of being brought to a vote, 2) wouldn't pass even if it did, 3) wouldn't be signed even if it passed... What if instead of that, the minority leaders called for Capitol Police to ARREST THE OLIGARCH MUCKING WITH OUR TREASURY

There are so many books written by Black women authors about Black girlhood that are in print right now that deserve a chance to be seen on the big and small screen. I’ve compiled a list of some of these that you may have missed! #booksky #blacksky #blackbooksky open.substack.com/pub/shannami...

So. My cat is cute. Even when he’s contemplating his existence. Upside down. Yay for cute cats! (I have nothing else good to say.)

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

FYI the National Council of Nonprofits is collecting stories via this form about how the executive orders are harming nonprofit organizations nationwide. If you just got screwed today, tell them about it here. They're also asking who is comfortable sharing their stories with reporters.

If you are a Democrat in office and you are not standing up boldly against everything that's happening now, then WHAT IS THE POINT OF YOU? I'm going to have to assume you agree with what he's doing and never, ever support you for anything again.

Just an FYI for people who may be new to the book banning stuff, when your books are banned it does not mean you’re on “the right side.” It means that your art (and probably you too) is being targeted by right wing extremists for erasure. It means you are being silenced. It’s NOT GOOD.

An Executive Order won't stop PRIDE & it definitely won't stop MY LITTLE GOLDEN BOOK ABOUT PRIDE by Kyle Lukoff and Michelle Jing Chan. Informative, age appropriate, & unashamed, it reinforces the idea that Pride is for everyone. Illustrations are gorgeous, vibrant, & a perfect match for the prose.

I'm a pastor's kid, spent most of my life in the church, took Greek in college to prepare myself for seminary. I know the beautiful and ugly parts of church. I've studied the Bible deeply. And here's what I know: There is no "sin of empathy." If your pastor is a multimillionaire, he's a fraud.
