Hello Bluesky! Time to create a pinned post. I'm Darcy, kidlit author, fangirl of many things, & horror lover. I have two MG books out at the moment about kids from Hell & their adventures, which I hope you'll check out. I post about books, tv shows & movies I love! (I might also show you my pets)

Since everyone is rightly focused on the Epstein files, now would be a good time to remind you:
Child marriage is legal in 34 states across the US. That’s almost 70% of this nation.
How about we end that?

I was just thinking that. These emails are like a 12 year old texting.
Am honestly amazed at how nonsensical these people's emails are and meanwhile here I am feeling bad about my constant typos.

After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

The one thing I do appreciate about the US is that no other culture I have ever encountered would produce a folksong where the devil challenges a kid to a duel in an obvious morality play about hubris and then the kid just absolutely kicks his ass and wins the fiddle

I think voters at large will very likely have trouble remembering details of chuck schumer selling out the aca by nov 2026. also I think in the next three months you're gonna see a lot of unlikely folks stopping by the dsa table at various no kings events

We must Move Our Money, away from the forces of destruction aiding this regime & into our communities. From Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday, folks are collectively committing to avoid Target, Amazon and Home Depot. If this leaves you $ to spare, local food banks, shelters, & community groups need it.

Unfortunately, until we have instant runoff voting we are stuck with two major parties. Change it from the ground up and get us IRV and we can finally get the 6, 7, 8 whatever parties we need.
Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

There is no point in them. Primary everyone. We don't have to be staring wistfully at NYC, let's make it happen nationwide. And the thing that drives me crazy is that progressive policies are popular with conservative voters too!!!
even when the democratic party has leverage and one of the craziest election swings the party intentionally self immolates it’s just so exhausting what is even the point of these people

To be clear: the deal they voted on to move forward last night still needs to be formally voted on in the Senate and House. If the eight are your senators, they should be hearing from you this morning!

The lesson: CONTEST EVERY RACE.
This is a lie. All 31 Moms for Liberty candidates in contested races lost their 2025 elections. The only "wins" were in uncontested races. Apparently, being hypocritical, book-banning scolds isn't so popular.

The reason Republicans never have a healthcare plan is because the ACA was the Republican healthcare plan. It was the compromise! So great, we all agree this isn't working. Let's have universal healthcare like every other developed country.
Democrats' response to the disastrous Trump / Senate GOP proposal to repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with health savings accounts must be "sure, we'll vote to repeal the ACA. . . and replace it with Medicare For All"
