Street scene with a gaslamp and a bit of fog with pink roses in the lower left corner. Text reads: “One of the things I promised myself, Miss Mancini, was that I’d give enterprising young women as much support as I could, when I could. But that doesn’t mean I’ll expect less from you than I would a man.” “Of course not,” Rett said, somewhat incensed. “A job done is a job done right, no matter who carries it out.” “Precisely."

As with COVID testing numbers, jobs reports, and Gallup polls, if we don't allow the numbers to be measured no one can say there's a problem.
It's the Ostrich Approach to policy.

john fetterman wants you to believe the 'sexism' problem is calling Kristie Noem a (very tame) name instead of how pregnant immigrant women in minneapolis cant go to the hospital or get prenatal care bc they're too afraid of being kidnapped & brutalized by ICE

Fetterman: "I met with Secretary Noem. I've always treated her with respect. I refuse and never will engage in the kinds of sexist terms like 'ICE Barbie' that the left media will use."

The media has moved on but the assault on the state of Minnesota continues. Small towns, medium, and in both of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul—where this incident happened.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Everyone in the Epstein emails is making a pubic statement like, “You have to understand: at the time, nobody CARED that he was raping girls!”

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

But you can also go put that beer in your car then go back and buy another 6 pack. Or 12 pack. Or a bottle of something.
States DO have ID checks and limit your vote to ONE.
You can't vote where you are registered, leave, then return and do it again that election.

Rep. Brian Steil: "I flew home to my home state of Wisconsin, went to buy a 6 pack a beer, the clerk asked for my ID, confirmed it, and then I was allowed to buy the beer. I just think it's nuts that we protect our beer more than our ballots."

Hey so remember when I said white women are endangering their own freedom when they cozy up to white supremacy? And that the hard right fantasies do not include sharing power with women? Yeah so the not so quiet part is here

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

You know what this means? It means I'm going to go HARD on Historicals for this year's Bookstore Romance Day. Let's remind publishers (& authors & readers) that there's still a huge, voracious readership for them.

I have always approached sex scenes with a similar design of choreography as a fight scene.
Just with more kissing.
And less clothing.
Usually.

How's drafting book two going?

There are so many limbs to keep track of.
A venn diagram with two circles. circle one says writing a sex scene. Circle two says writing a fight scene. In the middle it says where are everyone's limbs.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.
Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate
US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.
