Something I'm excited to do for 2026 is a read-or-rehome challenge. I'm picking 10 books that have been on my shelf for varying amounts of time, and by the end of the year, the plan is that I either got the nudge I needed to read them, or if I bounced off any, send them along.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I can't drive to MN, and I don't have much in the way of money, but what I do have is a ton of art kits and art supplies. If you are keeping your kids home from school or staying home yourself because you are afraid of getting caught up in ICE action, I would like to send you a distraction. (more)

kidnapping a 5 year old to bait his father and then shipping them thousands of miles away should put you in prison, yes, but it should also cause every friend and family member you have ever had to permanently reject you in disgrace, and if they don’t, they share your shame

Ok but like isn't this the second or third time Air Force One had to turn back during an Atlantic crossing. I know we all want it to be about Trump, but what if they forgot to pack Stephen Miller in the earth of his homeland, and had to turn back before crossing the water?

“nobody is insider trading off his death so it almost certainly didn’t happen” really sums up the state of the world in 2026 huh

But I can already recreate orders from last purchase in many platforms? And the rest is generally, you know, conversation with the people I'm with to negotiate an order where the order has something for each of us.
Fuck's sake, it's time-honored tradition to be indecisive on food order as a group.

I'm gonna say this with all the kindness in my heart: you aren't going to survive if you don't let your life have room for other things.
This is not a short term fight where we can just go 24/7 and then it will be over. We've got YEARS ahead of us. Take a break. Hydrate. Go bake something. Breathe.

Since getting my electric spinning wheel, I've jokingly started referring to the other one as my "analog wheel."

Acoustic guitars used to just be called ‘guitars.’
Then, we invented electric guitars. Oh no.
Which meant saying ‘guitar’ wasn’t clear enough.
So 'guitars' became 'acoustic guitars.'
‘Acoustic guitar’ is an example of a ‘retronym.’

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

I don't care if cats decided to domesticate themselves and are manipulating us to do their bidding. My life is better for their having done so.
This place needs some Innocuous Discourse pronto. Quote this with a take that’s not political or aggressive

I love me a grump/ sunshine story as much as the next, but that isn't enough to decide if the _story_ will interest me.
(And stop using reverse grump/ sunshine for stories where the grump is a woman, but that's a different complaint.)

Thinking of how I can trick romance authors into promoting their books with a one sentences description of what actually happens again. We gotta ease off the trope only vibes. WHAT HAPPENS!
