God forbid!
Kinda seems like you don’t do huge renovations on the place you’re living in unless you’re planning to stay. 🤷🏼

(Or sell it)
Now.... let me think of a comparison - oh yes, Trump's new ballroom!
Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.
Come and join us, this evening 8pm this evening. Hear from new works, old works, all works!
#memoir #fiction #WarFiction #mystery #tragedy #weird #HistoricalFiction Something for everyone - see you at eight!
It's usually a pass for me if any book is described as such!
Semi-relatedly to my earlier thread on YA, if the marketing for a YA romantasy describes the book as "sexy," "spicy," or "steamy," it's a pass for me.
The shame that is the #US at the moment knows no bounds #Korea #ICE
korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in
A coherent and true analysis of today's America! #Guns #Trump
Every word…
I'm so incredibly impressed you have 3 books out in a year. Two is nearly killing me! Bravo.
My three book releases for 2025.
Let's rock!
He is not welcome!
#Trump in case you were wondering who 'he' is!
Why didn’t anyone immediately follow up with “what’s the population of the United States?”
I don't know about you, but the news around the world is pretty awful these days. If I hadn't written Finding Serenissima, I'd be tempted to pick up a copy and escape to #Venice #Travel #Italy @australianbooks.bsky.social @bars.bsky.social @margieinitaly.bsky.social @womenover50travel.bsky.social
Well, now, doesn’t that just make the award a farce?
Wow.

It seems Brazil has a stronger Supreme Court, more in tune with actual democracy, than the US.
Meanwhile in Brazil...

"Bolsonaro sentenced to 27 years for plotting military coup in Brazil

Former president sought to ‘annihilate’ country’s democracy after losing 2022 election"

Sounds familiar 🤔

Cape Leeuwin in #WestAustralia one of the "three great capes" of the world named by English navigator Matthew Flinders after the first ship known to have sailed the waters. Pretty damn awesome to stand at the #lighthouse imagination soaring.
When America couldn't come together to change gun laws after children were slaughtered at Sandy Hook, I'm afraid I lost faith!
You're right no one has to live like this, but we do! #gunlaws #Guncontrol
If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:

—Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings
—More guns don't make us safer
—A majority of Americans want gun reform

We don't have to live like this.
