Whelp, I have some big news! My good friend Rayanne has been running a mobile romance book truck for the last year, and she’s done so well that it’s time to open a brick and mortar. And that’s where I come in! I’m going into business with her to bring Good Girl Books THE STORE to Knoxville!

So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.

They will try to censor porn. They will use those rules to then censor anything and everything else 1 inch at a time. You need to support porn and you need to do it vocally. The Internet (and all other media types) you save will be your own.

I swear. I don’t care if you watch or use porn. If you are in the Internet you need to support porn. Without porn most of the Internet you love wouldn’t have happened and wouldn’t be happening. Porn makes the wheels go round. Not that enough ppl pay for theirs but that’s a diff issue. (Cont)

Three of my books that were write-for hire were in the Anthropic suit, and I just got an email from the company that owns the copyrights that they’re offering a percentage of the settlement to authors “in recognition of the value of your work.” Wow, good news in the world of publishing for once!

Whenever food delivery arrives I usually shout “food’s here!” to get the boys to the table, and the dog has learned that one and comes BOLTING (the pizza delivery folks love her the most, I swear they’d give the pizza right to her if they could)

Proof positive that JD Vance has never once in his life done anything physically demanding enough to have had muscle pain or soreness. The softest man who ever lived (derogatory)

This is what breaks through my reflexive cynicism. This is a guy who has correctly stated he could shoot someone in the middle of the street and not lose support and he is obviously panicking about this

There is a table full of Campus Crusaders/future divorced dads sitting next to me talking about how important it is to date a girl who believes a man is the head of the household, and not one of them gives off “more than one bath towel” vibes.

Exactly, they basically gave Rs a win. It’s like rejecting the layup in favor of seeing if you can make a winning 3-pointer from the parking lot and then being like, “Well, we did what we could, you just didn’t understand the vision.” -H

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.
