Dear Republicans,

You claim that you want women to have multiple babies and stay home to raise those babies.

Few families can afford the health care premiums, even if the father has employer provided insurance. You have just made that situation much more dire.

normal Portland Friday night things: sitting on your friend's porch listening to choppers and cessnas and then checking ADSB exchange to see which craft are running with their transponders off or without callsigns and which you can actually document.

I’m looking forward to Danny Motta losing his shit because the homestuck pilot dropped and he has another show to react to

Honestly, a really good article.

It's not just Fox News and MAGA that have made it hell for trans people in recent years.

It's some of the "liberal" news outlets and centrist publications that made this possible too.

The vice president hosted a right wing podcast from his ceremonial office and the White House is pressuring media companies hosting critical voices, even those as tepid as Jimmy fucking Kimmel

It was never about free speech or small government

they didn't do this when democratic lawmakers were targeted by a gunman. the mainstream media barely peeped when a Kyle Rittenhouse fan did a mass shooting at a Portland protest. Democrats and the mainstream media are just terrified of conservatives to the point where no one else's lives matter
Jesus christ what is wrong with Democrats

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Today’s *other* shooting was at Evergreen High School—my old HS.

Mass shootings are a solved problem in every rich country but the US, entirely because of the GOP and the gun industry. If you support either, repent of your sin and demand gun control.

Guys my second editing pass is done I sent it to my beta reader to make sure it makes sense and then it goes to my sensitivity reader

some thoughts on Newsom:

1. the reason I am desperate for Literally Anyone Else to be the standard bearer is specifically his stance on trans rights - he's been bad on other issues, like homelessness, but I really worry he'll lead the Dems towards Labour if he's the guy in charge

The progression of this villain in my work is fascinating the more I write her. Nothing about her core beliefs has changed but her execution improves with every pass. #writingcommunity

Quick little fact check here: Israel has armed the Burmese military for decades, including during the Rohingya Genocide. Protesting Israel’s genocidal regime directly and materially benefits the people of Myanmar.

Don’t you hate it when you’re writing a scene and you go to bed and can’t remember what the point of it was when you come back to it?

This can’t just be me right? #writingcommunity

My protagonist never explicitly calls herself a lesbian but without a doubt is full of yearning.

My main vampire is openly so, so queer and is unapologetically open about it #writing

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner.

Seniors Are More Conservative Because the Poor Die Off
Sometimes older voters aren’t just naturally more conservative. It’s just that wealthier and whiter people tend to live longer and healthier lives.
