The concentration camps will not only be for immigrants, documented or otherwise. They already aren't.
They won't only be for brown and Black people.
The targets will keep expanding. It will not end.
The only way it will is if we stop it. Both in and out of the system. There is no other way.

Hey so this is important. Amazon is removing ALL erotica and new queer books from its Amazon associates program, which seems to be a first step towards delisting these books a la itchio.
This includes my book, your books, and the books you like to buy.
This is bad news, and we can expect worse

This feels like a REALLY BIG DEAL. I personally don't buy from Amazon if I can help it, but when I Heart SapphFIC promotes my 🪐📚books, I for sure include their link.

No.
Yeah, so my feeling is NOPE, NO, NUH UH, NEVER
For one thing, IQ is bullshit. For another, there is a reason we DON’T want a streamlined way to identify “the most vulnerable”. Please see the United States for further details.
Lastly—who is this for?

When you decide to up your 20 min kettlebell rputine weight and then pushing with the treadmill music is too good to stop at 45 min so you go for the full hour and the cool down.

I edited issues 62–67 of Uncanny Magazine and content edited the It’s Storytime with Wil Wheaton podcast. If you liked these things, I would be very honored if you considered me for a Hugo Award nomination. 😊
Uncanny Magazine is eligible for the Best Semiprozine Hugo, & Michael Damian Thomas is eligible for the Best Editor (Short Form) Hugo. (Note: If you are nominating Michael Damian Thomas in this category, please only list Michael. They solo edited Uncanny Magazine in 2025.)

Couldn't make it to the gym today so I did my 20min kettlebell routine with a 10lb bag of flour.
15,100 calories + awkward grip = OUCH
But I did it.
