Forgot to mention when it came out, but I'm on the Badass of the Week podcast talking about Black Agnes (a supreme Scottish badass who defended her castle against the English) and IT WANTS US ALIVE (some book I wrote). #booksky #amwriting #amreading podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/b...
Oh, and I probably swear in it. It's a sweary podcast. But it rates Clean so maybe I didn't. Either way, you've been warned.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

500,000 Pennsylvanians are about to see their healthcare premiums rise because of the Republican budget bill he supported.
People across Pennsylvania did not put time, money, and energy into his campaign just to elect someone who votes against our interests.
Let's defeat Fetterman together.

Thank you @democrats.senate.gov for voting unanimously for Senator Sanders’ Amendment to strip ICE of BBB funding. Can you please demand the Sanders Amendment as a condition to fund DHS now that you’ve successfully separated it from the larger spending package?

Thanks for another great #horrorwriterschat everyone. Today I'd like to promote Bruce Springsteen's new song Streets of Minneapolis. It chronicles some real life horror. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKS...

When Bathory does it in Innocent Blood, she becomes more powerful and frees herself from the strictures of society. Seems like it could be a good thing, but isn't for society. Sometimes it's better that have a f*ck or two to give. #horrorwriterschat
All the abuse. All the manipulation. All the tyranny. Blistering scabs on your soul. Your breaths rumble in the mound.
Your eyes lock with the god in front of you.
How changed do your characters become if they embrace their darkest parts? Do things change around them?

I like to think only the villains act on them. I'm simple that way. #horrorwriterschat
You lob the sack onto the slab. The human spills out of it – battered and broken, your dagger lodged in their skull still.
Their face. You remember everything they’ve done.
The eyes glimmer at your contempt.
What are your characters’ darkest parts? Do they embrace them?

I'm Rebecca Cantrell. I write mysteries/thrillers/horror/comedy/grocery lists. The darkest part of me is what I explore when I write villains--those who cause suffering for their own private causes, but even they are redeemable and trying to do what they think is right.

The mound’s warm innards thrum as you descend. A huge, stone slab is ahead, shining with portent.
Eyes, older than words, behold you from the darkness. A question emerges.
Tell us who you are, what do you write, and what part of yourself do you consider the darkest?

We shouldn't and if you'd held firm during the shutdown maybe I wouldn't have to be making those choices myself right now.
Each day that Senate Republicans don’t bring Democrats’ bill to extend the ACA tax credits to the floor means that more and more Americans have to make difficult decisions.
Food or health care. Housing or health care.
No American should have to make these kinds of choices.

This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding.
Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.
