Timeline Cleanse Kitty

Why is this being framed as anything other than A HOSTILE THREAT FROM A FORMER ALLY? Trump does not get to decide how this conversation is framed. That is what people are upset about. Using Trump's framing is normalizing imperialism and a serious threat against our sovereignty.

Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA): “A program is not waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It is not fraud just because he doesn’t like it."

I advise you not to move across the country with a large equine. That is all.

Pretty sure there is a direct correlation between the state of the world and my desire to take up crochet again. I don't have time to crochet and also I'm not that good at it, could the state of the world just improve itself already?

Ralphy's Retreat Animal Sanctuary in Ontario is struggling right now with the massive snowfall. They're in needing volunteers to shovel paths for the elderly animals. For those not in the area, they are trying to raise $5000 to help with increased costs due to the weather. www.ralphysretreat.ca

If we're doing "omg don't cancel KU, our income relies on it :( " discourse again trying to guilt readers, I'm just gonna tap the sign again.

School play gets canceled for "inappropriate content". In response students write [REDACTED], their own anti-censorship play skewering the school district, sells out performances, and ultimately takes gold at the Lenaea High School Theatre Festival. www.kqed.org/arts/1397192...

Hey. Just so you know, you're not obliged to forgive someone, ever. Even if they seem to feel sorry. Even a relative. The offending party doesn't get to decide the timeline after an apology. Forgiveness is -your- choice. Carry grudges to the grave if you want. Nobody is owed a pardon.

I remember when we all believed that the biggest existential threat to the US was from the Soviet nuclear arsenal wielded by a Russian madman too crazy to be reasoned with. Instead, it's from the US nuclear arsenal wielded by a South African dipshit too stupid to be reasoned with.

Can confirm this is Skyla's most romantic book. Please read fine print, must be okay with isolated winter lodges, suspense, gore, and endings that sneak up on a person in the best way possible.

Looks like this has happened for me as well, so I'll be sending them an email. All of mine were on Hoopla and now only one remains.

I'm gonna say it again: these books have MEN WHO ACTUALLY LIKE WOMEN. I know some of y'all are eager for that. 👇

The first book in my PNR trilogy is in Kobo's Romance Under $5 sale! She's being hunted for her rare magic. He's the magical theory expert who can explain why that magic is so abnormal...and volatile. Feelings ensue. Book link: www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/... Shop the sale: kobo.com/p/romance-un...

This is a really good thread.

Hey can we get these assholes more blocked than jesse singal?

It's #bookqw and today's word is JUMP. Relationship tip: If you ditch your hot nerdy boyfriend to keep him safe and he later finds you in his old condo and is upset about the whole you leaving him thing, distract him with your acquisition of rare books on magical theory. books2read.com/u/mYAW8V

I was going through files today and forgot I made this. (Yes, she did ask me that, and the answer is: all of it. My response to everything is always "Because fuck you, that's why".)

every day we see more and more evidence of society descending into utter lawlessness and chaos

Mental health break: look at Rodney’s blep.

I do appreciate how creative humans are and how they can make songs about the fall of democracy that really slap

Fantastic review from @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social on COYOTE RUN by @lilithsaintcrow.com: “With 2025 bringing with it the worst our political system has to offer, COYOTE RUN is a refreshing antidote. Someone has to punch fascists, and Coyote is more than willing to oblige.” Preorder now, y’all!

Okay, I have recc'd this recently, but am doing so again, because I treasure when storytelling really makes me feel things, and this show has done an excellent job of that. I love when... 1/2 www.netflix.com/watch/817563...

Do I need anything more than raging against an evil dictator to sell this book? I do? Fine, there is lots of angst and yearning too, along with the world's best morally gray adoptive dads. Kobo: www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/... B&N: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-song-to-... (Other links in thread below)

Good evening. Today’s timeline cleanse will be 12 seconds of Amelia doing air biscuits. Thank you for participating. #catsofbluesky #catvideos #torbiecat

I love this book. I want to shake people on the street and make them read it.

FINALLY! ONE senator stands up. Come on, guys - DO AS HE'S DOING. DO SO MUCH MORE. FIGHT FOR US. FOR OUR DEMOCRACY.

$0.99 SALE! Tired of real life horrors? How about some fictional ones with an HEA? Trans parapsychologist Nigel teams up with medium Oscar to investigate a haunted house. But both are keeping secrets that might cost them their souls... CLICK TO BUY: buy.bookfunnel.com/tfydb9wuu6

I'm struggling with a lot right now, both personally and with the world at large, but I finished writing my book today, and I'm trying to celebrate that instead of curling into a fetal ball for the next year.

I wonder why democrat politicians who will continue to get rich through insider trading no matter what don't feel the same sense of urgency as the rest of us

There's no getting away from the corporate giants. Even if you sell direct, you're dependent on the companies that host your site and the ones you use to process your transactions. You are still dependent on companies for advertising, even if that advertising is reader word-of-mouth on social media.

This is a very good reminder and thread.

Look, no sane informed person wants a trade war, but unlike the US Democratic party, Canada's not just lying back and taking it, so good for them. The blame for the problems this will cause Americans lies squarely on that of our president and everyone in office who refuses to stand up to him.

What a time to be promoting books.
