#Booksky Reviewer Cynthia Ward says the Astreiant Series is ”One of the greatest fantasy series of all time.” We couldn’t agree more! And the omnibus edition drops on 12/15! Preordering direct from us is really helpful - Amazon is taking a 65% cut on this.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

been having a chuckle about this. looking on that subreddit, the mods are constantly running searches for and deleting posts that mention mamdani. the posters have been saying things like "the frontrunner for mayor" and so on to evade getting banned lol
The Reddit community r/Democrats has a conspicuous absence of any news about Zohran Mamdani today. But that's by design.
The moderators have rules that ban people from talking about democratic socialists.

Baron Nathan, the celebrity dance teacher of the 1850s who danced the hornpipe blindfolded, surrounded by eggs. There's something SO malevolent about this image. It's powerfully frightening.

I think what's wrong with RFK jr is that he hasn't yet managed to suck the life-force from the fourth guy that opened his sarcophagus.
