This is Artie. He likes wool things. He likes to keep his toys in the dining room. Last night he found a box of dog sweaters in the basement & brought them up 1 by 1 to put under the Xmas tree in the dining room. Why? Who knows how Artie's mind works.

The truth is rationed and obscured while the women who survived these horrors are dragged back through them yet again. Predators remain protected. Evidence is hoarded, withheld, erased. The truth is being smothered in real time & witnessing it is fucking horrific.

I didn't have to take a law school class taught by @courtneymilan.com in order to recognize how insanely exploitative this contract is, but it sure helped!
Behold, if you will, the...astonishing...contract from Shadow Light Press. A rolling 10-year term...payment on profit (but only after costs are recouped)...appropriation of the author's universe if they can't continue the series...and more www.reddit.com/r/Progressio...

Hanukkah begins tonight as we remember the world needs more light.
In Sydney, families gathered on a beach to celebrate the start of Hanukkah. They were met with gunfire. At least twelve are dead, twenty-nine wounded—terror aimed at joy itself.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

The fascist right doesn’t believe that American Jews belong in America. They want us to live in our own ethno-state—not here.
People like Zohran believe America is a multiracial democracy in which everyone should belong.
It’s insane the latter is treated as antisemitism.

Premise: novel about a teen who discovers that the surf camp in Hawaii his rich uncle pays for him to attend is actually a secret witchcraft academy, of which his family are prominent graduates. I figured it could be popular on today's YA fantasy market. Dark macadamia is all the rage.
