I rode my bike by some kids and I was wearing *an outfit* and they started singing circus music (fair) and so I just looked straight at them and said “6-7” and they screamed. I hope an old person saying it ruined it for them. Happy spooky season.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Thank you, @lzats.bsky.social !!

(Fun pub day fact: If not for Laura, this book would have had a very different skew, relationship-wise, and at least one crucial character probably wouldn’t have lived to be in the sequel.)

Okay, let’s do this: THE LOST RELIQUARY is out TODAY! If you’re a fan of badass FMCs, enemies to allies, & taking down regimes (with just a touch of quasi-cannibalism) then this book is for you!

Many thanks to the team at Saga Press Books for helping get this book out into the world🍾🎉📖

This morning, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.”
“That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as grounds for these raids,” Johnson said to applause. thetriibe.com/2025/10/mayo...

I’m sorry why did no one inform me authors could do condiment-based collaborations?

(And what book do I have to write to get Maille mustard to work with me?!!)
no no the publishing industry is doing fine, why do you ask

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

This is heartbreaking and also infuriating. Bluestockings was absolutely the sort of space every community needs—restrooms (for all!), cafe, free Covid tests, contraceptives, community space, and, of course, books. An absolute loss.

It’s oddly depressing to watch superhero movies when you’re living in a timeline where the villains never get held accountable.
