Fun fact about obscurity as an author: Nobody has banned my books.
My historical fiction features a strong, neurodivergent, cross-dressing female protagonist. And, as a former secondary school English teacher, I can tell you they are great reading for teens and up. Ban away, I say. I’d be honored.

Projection is their forte. They know a lot of their rallies are filed with seat fillers paid to be there. They also know their audience will believe anything & everything that comes out of their mouth. They just can't accept that people hate them for free..

Outlining a dire consequence along with the usual warning seems a bit harsh. Made me want to jump, if I’m honest.

And there you have it.
Netanyahu’s “battlefield” is not just with Palestinians, Lebanese, Houthis and the rest of the Middle East.
It’s with us - Western democratic nations and our free speech. That’s what he wants to colonise and dominate.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.
They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

just sitting here thinking about the courage and determination of E. Jean Carroll compared to the abject craven collapse of the pretty much every silicon valley CEO
Breaking News: A court upheld E. Jean Carroll’s $83.3 million defamation judgment against President Trump after she accused him of rape.
Appeals Court Upholds Carroll’s $83 Million Judgment Against Trump
The judges rejected President Trump’s argument that the Supreme Court’s decision extending presidential immunity should shield him from liability for defaming the writer E. Jean Carroll.

Victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell will speak out publicly on Capitol Hill at 10:30 am on September 3, many of them for the first time. Expect Trump to create a diversion around that time.

“Pear with me”. I KNOW there are foodies who have great ideas out there but I’ll narrow it down for you: I’m going to make pear salsa. Anyone have a brilliant recipe??? #recipes #canning #summer #pears
Okay foodies. I’ve got about a dozen Bartlett pears. What would you make that could be frozen for later? Pear butter? Pear crumble?

In summary.
The victims and their families know better than anyone what a monster Ghislaine Maxwell is.
Trump getting Maxwell to lie to make himself look completely exonerated in exchange for her move to a country club prison and early release is the biggest insult to sexual assault victims everywhere.
