Someone asked me recently, "What's your favorite book?" 😳 How could I ever choose just one? At best, I might be able to make a top ten list.

Am I the only woman that's not feeling "empowered" by the Blue Origin jaunt into space?

I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

My husband could wash his face with a shit-covered cactus and he'd still have better skin than me. That asshole. 😆

This does seem to be the case. Those in power want the world to believe USA Americans endorse this fuckery. WE DO NOT.
We have lost mainstream media.

The only thing we have in this fiasco administration is our voice. Speak up!
For any of you seeing this Friday morning:

His voicemail is full! Please email him and tell him to vote NO! Senator@schumer.senate.gov

A yes vote is complicity. If there is a yes vote by Schumer, immediately move to have him removed from his leadership position.

I SO appreciate his anger and passion but the shouting falls on deaf ears. THEY. DO. NOT. CARE.

It's International Women's Day. Ladies, how are y'all feelin' about *gestures widely at everything*?
March 8, 2025 at 10:50 PM
Woo... what a great time to be a woman. *snort* I feel like all that's been accomplished in the realm of women's rights and equality is being erased, and it makes me simultaneously furious and despondent.

The world hates women. I said what I said.

Yep, because he's a moronic twatwaffle and a bully. He's throwing shit around to see what he can get away with and to get people scared and submissive. I sure hope those we elected who have a chance of keeping him in check grab their balls and ovaries ASAP and crush this fuckery.

I have eagerly awaited the results of the Million Mito Project for a few years. (For those who don't know, it's a massive undertaking by some amazing scientists and genealogists to update the mitochondrial phylogenetic tree that classifies maternal lineage.)

I'm still H1. 🙃

A medication that I take, which is non-negotiable, is still on patent for two more years so there's no generic. My cost went up by $600 a quarter at the beginning of 2025, and that's WITH insurance. 😡 How the hell can a medication go up $2,400? WTF? I'm nauseated.

How am I still worn out from Mardi Gras? I didn't even stay until Fat Tuesday, we were home by Saturday. I guess hours and hours of throwing throws and handing out glittered shoes, then a 1000 mile drive, is hard on the older body. 🙃🙄😆

I can't love this any more than I do. This is brilliant, amazing, and it's the TRUTH.
I love Stacey Patton.
Unfortunately I don't believe she's on Bluesky yet.
I follow her on FB.

I think I need to find a literary agent. I've got a contract in front of me, waiting for my signature, for my third book. I winged it for the first two, but I feel like the contract needs changes and I'm a bit lost. Suggestions? I have no idea how to even go about finding an agent.
