Preorders work in faerie-time, it seems! @amalelmohtar.com's The River Has Roots came early and sucked me into a rare single-sitting read. (I don't normally have the energy for it) What an utter joy this book is! I laughed, I cried, I appreciated adorable illustrations

I still do not want to start down a The Lawyers Are Our Resistance Heroes path, but credit where it’s due, that’s a bar. Guy really got to publicly quit with a “couldn’t be me bitch,” may we all get to do something half as satisfying someday www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/n...

“perpetuating the myth that the (non-romance) genre is only for boys – and that romance is only for girls – is unfair….the writers themselves are too tired and appalled at having to continually wage the battle of the sexes to take up arms once more. Dragons are easier to defeat, it seems.”

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

"I don't feel safe" is a message that scares reps. Other big feelings can get eroded by time or the endless chaos but "I don't feel safe" always sticks.

Hey disabled writers on Bluesky! Reply to this post with either: 1. The publication you're proudest of, something that's cool about it, and a link to read it. ~OR~ 2. Something you love writing about. Can be the minutia of motorcycle repair, or as simple as "Dragons."

Not accurate. Colombia accepts many deportation flights. Columbia objected to deportees arriving in U.S. military flights in chains. This was resolved by having Colombia’s demands met.

POWERLESS is coming in July. It's about a shopkeeper in the West Coast People's Democratic Republic trying to scrape out some freedom in a totalitarian state, and about the WCPDC trying to scrape some out in a Soviet Union-dominated world. www.amazon.com/Powerless-Ha...
