So, I've trying to make my Kindle Unlimited give me enough bang for my buck, and I've read 20 books (comics compendiums over 250 pages) & regular novels (all over 80k words) this year, so far.
From well known authors to self-published ones who put out complete series (six to ten books each.)

NEW: Trump just rescinded the federal freeze order.

This is a reminder that resistance matters.

The going got tough and Trump just folded like a cheap suit.

But I do love a bit of stuff. How about YOU?

So, from a group on other social network I'm part of, I've come to realize there's a bit of resentment for the company currently creating products for a time-tested & relatively popular game line that its players love.
I went away from this particular game universe for many years (two decades or so)

Trump can’t end birthright citizenship constitutionally but that’s not the point. He’s giving people permission to police who seems to be American or not and by “American” they mean white. Vance’s family will get targeted because they’re not white. They’re already getting some of it.

Wow. Fist day on the office and that plan all Republican and MAGA idiots said didn't exist, suddenly seems to well on its way.

Most of what this Administration has done is unconstitutional, but will the Supreme Court even review these flagrant abuse of invested power?

How long before overreach?

This might help many of you.
Pass it along.
Thank you.
I encourage trans and non-binary to contact me for work on a new film I’m shooting SF Bay in June- especially looking for line producers, production coordinators, and other film professionals!
alright you wanna know how to support trans people?

hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.

Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

Bluesky has been flooded with automated reply bots - they'll offer a sort of confrontational opinion as a reply. They're pretty convincing and we all need to train ourselves to not reflexively reply to all responses until we check

Dead giveaway is new acct, few followers + original posts

One more sign over 50 million individuals voted for an absolute imbecile...
Trump’s anti-trans Executive Order is bad BUT it technically defines everyone as female. It states:

“'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell."

Since all fetuses "at conception" are female, Trump just defined EVERYONE as female.

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital.

You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library.

You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library.

You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library.

You want sourced info? Library.

So, on a more positive note, shall we talk about professionally writing for roleplaying games?
It sounds great, right? Well, it is... until I might be not so great.
Don't get me wrong; I love writing for my games & I usually go the extra mile when listing possible plot points & detailing locations

So, James Woods broke in CNN after losing his home...

I can't say I'm going to celebrate, but I do hope that racist asshole finally finds a way to be a little more compassionate and apologizes for all the hateful bullshit he tweeted.

Or not and he can still go fuck himself.

Mockery is a superpower with the incoming US administration. Trump in particular is so weak and so insecure that open mockery will devastate him. Make it a core aspect of all resistance.

All narrative is political. All stories are social. What a callow stance.
