I am required to show off this spectacular cover (artist: Juan Bernabeu) for my near future political novelette coming on @reactorsff.bsky.social on Nov 5.

An older medic with scant resources fights to support her community as they survive life behind the company wall.

Barnacle, Kate Elliott. Washed up on a beach, a big cluster of barnacles holds together while crows flock down from the sky, trying to pry them loose from each other. A truly stunning image by Juan Bernabeu.

With SNAP benefits going to shit because of rich assholes and corruption running rampant through politics I'd like to point your attention to a Clinton.

No, not one of those Clintons. This Clinton. Clifford Clinton.

I just don’t think we’re freaking out enough about this SNAP cut. I have spent my whole career working with people who rely on SNAP for food. People who work multiple jobs. Who have kids. What do you think happens when 1/8th of the population can’t buy food anymore? Everything is going to collapse.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes

Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre

Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast)

Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

Well, when it rains, it pours. For whatever reason, LIKE-MINDED INDIVIDUALS was scrubbed from Goodreads, all reviews lost and unable to retrieve. If you have read LMI, would you mind adding your review back? Pain in the arse, I know. Christ it has been a year.

Mr. Political Instincts over here with the dumbest imaginable attempt at moderation on trans rights. You can't say that you'll protect LGBT policy while affirming bigotry in the next breath.

This doesn't appeal to the right, angers the left and reveals you as a worm to absolutely everyone.
