Cass (who doesn't know any other shifters) meets Tommy (puma shifter) on her first day of college. Instant attraction, but it takes about ten years of heartache to get together.

Trump is and will always be a mass muderer.
The death rate among children under 5 is expected to grow this year for the first time in the 21st century, researchers say. A key factor, they say, is cuts to U.S. and other foreign aid

I got writing-related stuff done for several hours this morning/ early afternoon.
I guess that was it for today's spoons
I want to get Xmas decorations up, too, but I want them up without doing the work.

sometimes at night when I’m trying to sleep, I’ll close my human eyes & look through bird eyes
birds can see the electromagnetic field of the earth
so as wind hits my feathers in shivers, ribbons explode from the east, from the west, one way to food, another to water, another to my wife, to home

All you had to do was vote for Kamala.
That's all you had to do.
No Tariffs.
No ICE turning into the American Gestapo.
And Trump finally facing consequences for his illegal acts.
But no. She wasn't "pure" enough for you.
Even though she warned you again and again and again:

Hello indie/hybrid writer friends! I'm working on a rather episodic thing right now and am wondering if anyone's had success with episodic publishing. And what platform.

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

It occurs to me, at the same time they’re going after the industry that is built around the consensual production of sexually explicit images, they are enabling an new industry being built around non-consensual non-consensually produced, sexually explicit imagery. I don’t think it’s coincidence.

it is an underrated miracle of the 21st century that we really did massively, massively reduce bullying in schools
My experience as well. So far we're 2-for-2 on kids having a largely bullying/abuse-free middle school experience. Not without bumpy spots of course, but light years away from what I endured.
My hot take: the anti-bullying stuff has really worked, which is why conservatives are pushing back at it.

for what it’s worth I got roped into helping out with my sixth grader’s extracurricular thing so I’ve had more recent contact with middle schoolers who aren’t mine than I usually do, and biased sample/biased reviewer/etc but my verdict is that the kids are all right

Melania chose “Home Is Where the Heart Is” as the theme for the White House Christmas decorations, which is pretty tone deaf for an administration deporting people from the only home they’ve known for decades. What’s next, a Great Gatsby party during a government shutdown?

The fascists are counting on you finding erotica and porn too distasteful to support. Because they always start here. And even if they ended here, sexuality and erotism are integral components of queer expression. You can't support queer creators without supporting 'nsfw' content.

Finished Na-Not-WriMo with one day to spare! Almost 30 K on a novella (episodic, so might release by the episode? To newsletter?). Light Paranormal romance called the Match-Un-Maker.
And just over 20K on the book I'd intended to write, but it was getting grim.

My husband's called me from the hardware store and asked me to check the wattage on this bulb that flickers. It's written in tiny white print on the silver background, so even in good light, I couldn't read it.
And it's not wattage, it's lumens because it's an LED
But whatever.
