Folks, I've created my own personally curated block list.
These people and organizations are offensive, reactionary, or rude. That's why they are on this list.
One person confessed to committing a serious crime. Report them, if you please.

At one point or another, we're all going to need to see a doctor.
But our health care system remains unaffordable, inaccessible, and deeply dysfunctional. It is unacceptable.
That’s why a strong majority of Americans agree: We need Medicare for All.

I sold my books by providing free talks at civic events, libraries, schools, and bookstores. I contacted local media to offer myself as a guest.
One local morning TV talk show had me on as a guest as each book came out. Local newspapers were glad to write about a successful Tampa Bay author.

Of course, you can't beat a Classic British bike. This is a Classic Triumph T120V (5 gears) from the 1972 model year (which ran from July 1971 to July 1972). #motosky #motorcycle #bikesky #bikersky #motorbike #triumph #bonneville #t120v

Have you ever tried to flip a boat over from the water? It’s impossible…try it with something small like a canoe and let me know how it goes, then try it in the ocean with huge swells.

TRYING TO FLIP” THE BOAT MEANS THE BOAT WAS CAPSIZED AND THEY WERE SHIPWRECKED IN THE WATER.
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

For 5 years I wrote on a Kaypro computer. Because my signing bonus was $9,000, I ditched the Kaypro for an IBM clone computer.
To promote my books I created publicity pictures, advance posters, and releases for newspapers and TV producers to promote me as a paperback writer.

June 1987, two years since I had begun to write Kill Cue, I checked with my agent to see who had rejected my novel that month.
To my amazement, he said, "Bantam Books (Lynx Division) wants to sign you to a paperback contract with a hefty advance and a nice royalty figure." I almost passed out.

The people saying that nobody heard of Kate Bush in the mid-eighties are really getting on my last nerve. Most of the world knew her for years and in 1985 she finally broke the USA. Either you were a baby you just had your head in the sand and were exposed to no music. She wasn't niche (anymore)
