Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

Thinking about the early closeted days as a teenager and a memory I hadn't thought about for ages popped in my head.

As a teen I was DEEP in the Experimentation->Shame->Repression->Repeat cycle that lasted until I came out at 28 and one way I experimented was sneaking make up from my stepmother

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

OOOH Bookshop.org is doing an Anti-Prime sale, so FREE SHIPPING! This includes my book!

It's a *very* pretty paperback, if I might say so: designed to give old-school romance vibes. (See the spine?! 😍)

Get it here -- it's priced like a trade pb ($17.66) so, reasonable!
bookshop.org/a/116591/978...

two books, one standing atop the other. Title is Rears & Vices by E.M. Caro. The cover has three men: an auburn-haired man, a black-haired man, and a blond man, all dressed in early 19th century clothing. The auburn-haired man is embracing the black-haired man and the blond is standing protectively by.

"[Bodycam] video shows an agent turn federal vehicle left into Martinez’s vehicle, after which an agent says, 'Do something b----.' The agent then exits the vehicle and shoots at Martinez.

[Her lawyer] Parente said Martinez has 'seven holes' in her from the shooting."

Govt didn't show that video.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

I like that it doesn't really try to make itself clear cut in terms of identity—the messiness reflects this inner truth that can't be simplified, and McGill really nails the strange, magical nature of the situation in the prose and world building. Very nice.

"A Good King" by Sarah McGill is a lovely and moving story about a king, a fox, and a secret (maybe more than one secret). It moves like a fable but messier.
