*The* book. The one you wait till you’re grown up to write. My family’s story. Historical, magical realism. WWII Italy, fascism, cave fairies, superstition, cunning women, bombs & bees & a young woman who alters lives in a time where power is only for men carrying guns or crosses. THE QUEEN MUST DIE

Pardon my suddenly watery eyes, but a long-time regular just stopped in with this.
He'd been reading, found this line, and thought of me, so he wrote it out and brought it in.

C is for ‘Carnival of Souls’ in my #folkhorroralphabet released in 1962 and directed by Herk Harvey. It’s a low budget cult classic, unsettling period Americana that inspired directors like David Lynch and George Romero.

Ved Mehta was blind from age 3 but wrote nonfiction books full of rich visual imagery constructed from auditory, tactile & olfactory data. A reviewer once called the method dishonest. Mehta wrote to the editor that they would be "well advised to review my book rather than my disability".

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.
I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.
