I know there's a lot going on in the world, but may j just say that you have to be a special kind of asshole to try and scam someone whose relative is in jail.

They won't call you asking for bail money via credit card, FYI.

What would you do if you were kidnapped and held hostage by a duke?

Worse — he is completely unrepentant.

A felon who married an immigrant is telling a lot of y’all that the problems in this country all stem from felons and immigrants.

But keep buying that stupid red hat that’s made in China.

This whole thread.
Watching doc about resilience that reaffirms many changes I made last few years to my mental outlook (I read a LOT of brain books). Brains are hallucination engines. If the story is the world is shit, everything is fucked, brain reframes every interaction this way. It impacts behavior; shuts us down

Just a reminder that George Conway is not fundraising right now to run against a MAGA republican.

He is fundraising to run against progressive Democrats.

Re: LRT

A sex scene is an action scene.

Like an action scene, it is primarily about what is happening to the characters. Like an action scene, it will be boring as fuck if we have no idea what the stakes are or who we care about.

I went to update the covers on my Cavalier Cove novellas, including the paperbacks. I cannot believe how much paper prices have jumped. I'm embarrassed to charge $9.99 for a print novella, but if I charge less than that, I hardly make any profit.
