Unveiling my second novel: WEARING THE LION.

This himbo hero Heracles, Hera's biggest fan, collects a menagerie of monsters in pursuit of the god who destroyed his family.

The trouble? Hera is responsible, and she'll do anything to hide the truth.

Coming June, 2025!

I approached this from a says something about me rather than trying to pick an all time favorite.

But in the book category if I was to pick a favorite (and one that feels particularly relevant this week) I would choose @charliejane.bsky.social Unstoppable trilogy.

I did passably well with her: I saw The Belle of Amherst twice (indelible, and I met and chatted with her after one performance), Lucifer's Child (in which she played Isak Dinesen), and The Glass Menagerie (though she was not an ideal Amanda—a bit too nice, as I recall).

And the answer is: June Havoc, who appeared in the first Broadway production of Pal Joey, whose score includes "Zip!," a song about June's sister, Miss Gypsy Rose Lee.
Celebrating the birthday of the only actress to have originated a role in a Broadway musical that included a song about her own IRL sister.

my understanding is that this is the violent drunk who shot bin Laden while he was dying so he could switch careers to the motivational speaking circuit by telling everyone he shot bin Laden

Not saying you shouldn't use the word "tankie", but there is a second word for this - "campist".

a cool thing about Bluesky is that between my own blocks and blocklists I’ve actually been able to block almost all the tankies and MAGAs on here and it’s super relaxing
