Big shift from a "alright, the party's over freaks" to a "this place rules!" theory of mayoring
Outside Gracie Mansion. This is his job. But dare I day it he seems genuinely affected and happy to be there. There’s potentially immense power in that.

New Daughter of Dusk chapter! Highly recommend checking it out, poor Thomas is really going through it. In ways that seem, ah, oddly familiar somehow. Can't quite put my finger on it though... ah I'm sure it's nothing. Go read.
Chapter 4 of Daughter of Dusk, "Aurora," is now available! Thomas is visited in his new home-for-now by Aurora, Lady Marié's chauffer, who is a little bit more down to earth. But Thomas is not exactly doing well, it seems...

I am down on my knees begging straight women to read/watch sapphic media if this is their problem with media for cishets. Like, I get it, even stuff BY AND FOR straight women can have crazy misogyny in it, but I think the solution to "too much misogyny in my escapism" is to find better escapism
I spoke to women (and one man) about what they find so hot about Heated Rivalry.
"The main reason I read MM is I just absolutely cannot stand reading or watching women suffer at the hands of men – in any way, big or small, anymore... We, as women, can just watch this and relax.”

Women are feral for Heated Rivalry. What does that say about men?

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.

The notion that Donald Trump (or MAGA) is anti-war is one of the most catastrophic misreads in the history of mankind.
MAGA's approach to every political issue is maximizing belligerence to secure their objectives, and there were people who seriously believed this somehow wouldn't apply to war.
