Whimsy!
Adventure!
Parental trauma!

Inspired by Assyrian & Habeshan history, ARMS is a #SFF #GN about overcoming the expectations of others in order to fulfill your true destiny.

Best friends since childhood, Anna, Siduri, & Rena will face enemies, & each other, to save their world.

Desperate to save their world, childhood friends Anna, Siduri, & Rena cross the 2 realities to find the source of all life. But nothing is what it seems. They will have to resolve old conflicts & forge a new bond to make it home. ARMS VOL 1 is a #YA #GN similar to DESCENDER or SAGA.

the answer to the trolley problem is not to pick who to sacrifice, it’s to dismantle the system that led to an unsafe trolley crossing.

if any part of your morality strategy involves picking a group to let die on a hill, throw the entire strategy out. it’s wrong.

Anna is the priestess. Rena is the soldier. Siduri is the scientist. Together these teenage heroes will save two worlds, discover their destinies, and maybe even get along for a while. ARMS VOL 1 is a #YA #GN similar to DESCENDER, SAGA, and SUPERGIRL: WOMAN OF TOMORROW.

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.

Republicans in Washington did this.

This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

That strategy won't work this time. Trump is ready to let (and wants) Americans to suffer. The Dems will have to cave or risk looking like they're the ones who don't care about us. Trump is much better positioned than the first time.

To misquote Pelosi, this time "He does have the votes."

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”
