I'm scatterbrained today. Editing a novel, writing novel, subbing stories, writing a newsletter, promoting reading events, booking more events, scheduling classes...There needs to be three of me to get all my ideas written & all my work done. Yeah, & another idea for the list.

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to read books in a cottage during a pouring rain in front of a crackling fire whilst enjoying a plate of emotional support cinnamon rolls?

Yeah, those protestors look so dangerous and threatening. Ha! What a fucking joke this admin is, but their joke isn't the funny kind--it's the kind that should get them charged with terrorism and sent to prison. Every one of them & every ICE agent needs to go NOW! What the fuck is taking so long?!

Lies & secrets. Secrets & lies. Lies. Lies. Lies. She is a sad and pathetic fucking joke! This administration is so incompetent and corrupt it makes me sick to my stomach. And, man oh man, she has such a punchable face. Everyone in this terrorist admin needs a good 'ol ass-kicking, then--PRISON!

Pam Bondi is feigning willful ignorance.
Pam Bondi was the AG of Florida and could have prosecuted Epstein.
Pam Bondi covered the Holman investigation.
Pam Bondi needs to be investigated for perjury like Comey. Comey's case is weaker than Bondi's perjury she made before Congress.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

New from me:
newrepublic.com/article/2014...

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion

Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

The same people who insisted devout Catholic Joe Biden was leading a “war on Christianity” are now cheering Trump on as his armed goons assault clergymen.

It's a new Tracing The Shape, and all the pieces are moving into place to make Halloween into HALLOWEEN. This time around I'm mostly just focusing on how efficient the storytelling is in this section, with a few notes on Michael's added menace.

If you know anything about the production of Halloween, then you probably know that the film was shot not in Illinois in the fall, but in California in the spring. The streets of Haddonfield are quite...
