That’s not me asking for money, it’s someone spoofing me. I promise. On social media hiatus until October 31. Non-stop book reviewing lady! Also writer, editor, aunt, godmother, curmudgeon. I love books and birds. No DMs, sorry! I am extremely shy.

BRUTALLY CANDID, WITTY, eloquent memoir about the pressures of infertility, divorce, being a writer, being a woman, being queer, simply existing as a person in the world. Charming and spare prose complements the daring frankness. B PLUS

people were absolutely obsessed with sardines back then, this I have learned from the wonderful YouTube channel Sandwiches of History

sardines appear in sandwich recipes of the era without any warning

LOVE, MAGIC, HORROR and the hot sun of inland California bake up a compelling tale of a long lineage of women with special powers and the havoc they unwittingly create. Sharp and evocative writing. B PLUS

Here is the image with alt text

tuckermaymysteries My name is Tucker May. In April I married the love of my life, Barbara Marques. Right now I fear for her life.

A week and a half ago she was taken by ICE at our properly scheduled green card meeting at the Federal Building downtown. At the end of what we were told was a successful meeting, the officer used the excuse of a broken copier to trick her into walking away from our lawyer. Once separated from her legal counsel, she was arrested. The reason for her detention was a missed court date from 2019 which my wife was never notified about.

We have been working with lawyers since that time to correct the situation. The Adelanto detention center has actively been keeping my wife from correspondence with her lawyer by delaying in giving her documents that were mailed to the facility.

Last night, she was taken from the Adelanto facility to an undisclosed destination despite our lawyer having filed a temporary restraining order to stop this from happening. They could be sending her anywhere in the world and we have no way of knowing.

I'm asking for help in bringing to the attention of media and authorities these multiple lapses in due process and proper procedure through the unwarranted deportation of a woman whose legal marriage has been duly recognized as legitimate by immigration through the 1130 petition process.

Please, if you have any contacts who could help, send them this information.

here’s somebody doing the thing instead of whining about “distractions”

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

it’s wild to think that it’s been so popular a term for so long! #HorrorWatch

oh, it was very widely used after 1851 and the publication of the novel Scènes de la vie de Bohème, and then after the 1896 premiere of the opera La Bohème it was everywhere
