This was such a good tournament performance. The way people laughed at their coach for saying they might actually win against Nebraska... to national champs. It's so good. They did not let their foot off the gas once

Minutes later, with the hearing still going on, the website updated. The word "independent" was gone. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Writing books is work.
Authors write books.
Authors are people who live under capitalism.
Capitalism requires people to make money to live.
Authors need money to live and they do WORK.
"Capitalism is evil so you should pirate books" isn't the "activism" you pretend it is.

Query my agent. They are great! Especially if you are neurodiverse and want straight talk and dont want to worry about small talk, just get right to the point
My top two #mswl wishlist items for 2026 are:
- an exciting adult mystery or thriller with something to say. Something that feels like Alyssa Cole's WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING or @kellyekell.bsky.social's MISSING WHITE WOMAN
- mg or ya set in Appalachia by someone from there. Especially with 🏳️🌈 or ♿️ rep

Budget cuts are forcing the library to be open just Monday through Wednesday. But a new fundraising effort aims to offset the cuts in the future.
