And just like that, it's time for another #BookishTues
This time, it's all about #GOODBYE ... something I would like to say to a lot of 2025 bullshittery.

Kiss Me When I'm Dead. Dominic Piper.

"Pure entertainment. Fast paced. Violent and debauched. Dominic Piper has a distinctive style. Clear, knowledgeable and not a word wasted. Each book in this series, though linked, stands up well by itself."

The teen stared into Dravidian's green gaze.

"We have a big issue, Mikey."

Michael was trapped by the authority in those eyes.

"Issue, sir?"

"I know how much you like my emerald inlaid Rolex."

He swallowed hard. "I..."

"It returns in five, or my foot will be in your ass. We clear?"

Bi flag with screenshot (from 2013) over top that says It is a sin to not be bisexual. The bible says Adam and Eve, not Adam or Eve.

Dear world:

Instead of, you know, sucking, could you please give my friends enough sales that they can quit their jobs and write or make art full time if they want to? Please.

Love,

Need an escape from *points all over*?
Escape to London, just as Ellie did.

#IndieApril #escape #London #NornIron #NeedABreak #ReadAndShare #NewLife
Side by side pic. On the left is the cover of Rathlin Lass. It shows two people embracing on Westminster Bridge in London. On the right side of the picture has the first five paragraphs on Rathlin Lass. Alt Text cuts the 5th paragraph. Message me for a PDF if you are visually impaired. The sky overhead was grey and dull. The air grew heavy with the dampness of the rain that had yet to start falling. It was another dreary day in London; same as yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that, going all the way back to that cold and dreary day in February when she’d first arrived in England. The only difference is that the temperature had warmed up over the last four months. She missed the open spaces of land that used to surround her; so different from the congestion and noise of London. She missed the infinite shades of green, from hilltop all the way down to the ocean. She missed the gentle breezes in summer and the whipping winds of winter and how both carried the tang of the North Atlantic. She missed the smell and warmth of her grandmother’s cosy kitchen. She missed home; the home that was no more. Ellie gave herself a shake before the thoughts of all that she’d lost threatened to engulf her. Now was not the time. This was not the place. She could fall apart later after work, enclosed within the walls of her tidy new flat and wrapped up in her favourite blanket her grandmother had hand knitted for her when she was a child. Standing up from the low brick wall she’d been sitting on, Ellie takes one last drag of her cigarette before crushing it under her foot. She bends down to pick up the crushed end and tries not to berate herself for smoking again. She’d managed to quit a year before her grandmother had passed away. But since her world was turned upside down, she’d picked the habit back up. Once things settle back down and life doesn’t feel so out of control, she promises herself that she’ll work on quitting again.

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children.

It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.

I’m at the annual paleontology conference. Here’s how people today have described their work:

“I basically study swamp monsters”
“I’m a dinosaur orthodontist”
“Dead bird bird watcher”

Oh this is brilliant!! We could use the tag #IndieMediaDay and do threads sharing all of our favourite indie creators, and of course boost each other's threads

Maybe someone with more spoons than me could even make a rudimentary web page with recommendations

What if instead of Cyber Monday (aka Daddy Bezos Day), we did a Support Indie Media Monday?

What are your favorite indie publications? Who are some of your favorite freelance and indie reporters and commentators?

Can we make this a thing?

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.

She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

I know, I know. I should be working on the main story. But it's coming up to the end of the year, Mariah Carey is blasting out of all the shopping centres, and I had to write this down or it'd haunt me like three ghosts visiting a millionaire.
