Have you ever felt chased around the house by your cat? Trying to locate somewhere to work where they DON'T want to screw up what you're writing? How do you stand up to the little buggers?

This is what MAGA are doing… wanton destruction, relishing our sadness and outrage. So many of them were just bored.
Prosecutors said that as news of the crime spread, the two men exchanged messages relishing the outrage and sadness they caused by cutting down the iconic tree in northern England.

Bless you, Bluesky people for covering SCOTUS so closely. You're doing the lord's work - or the work of an old-school newspaper. God I love this platform.

Buttigieg gives the clearest signal yet that he's eyeing a presidential run in 2028
The former Transportation secretary is eyeing something bigger than the Senate.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

Someone said SCOTUS Chief Justice Roberts had already written (somewhere) that impounding budget-approved funds is unconstitutional. Can anyone in law/academia on Bluesky concur or site this? I guess we just have to hope Barrett and/or Kavanaugh support this view.

Curious to know why there is so much cycling news on Bluesky. Thoughts? It feels intentional. I'm not following any of these people, yet my feed is chock full of cycling stuff. Weird.

Just sent my daughter out the door in the rain with the dog to the groomer...on the wrong day. Feeling super dumb and guilty. I think this calls for some home baked cookies. Right?

Great news. A courageous public figure. She's been in the crosshairs of the right wing before and hasn't been scared off. You go, girl.

American Idiom Inquiry: How many generations back to you have to go before one of your relatives said "as all get-out." E.g. She's as pushy as all get-out. It's probably regional - Midwestern. My grandmother, born ~ 1910 said it a lot.

Is SciFi best marketed independently? Or are there still agents who believe in rep'ing SciFi? Seems to me you need to be prepared to publish non-traditionally in many instances. Am I wrong?

Fascinating "Fraud Fog" mindset describing this woman's financial victimization. The term could equally apply to the right-wing media that sucks in countless older Americans. "They give you a script." Of course they do.

Column | The banks warned her it may be a con. The scammer’s influence was stronger.
Scammers know fraud detection systems and coach their victims around barriers. The financial institutions warned Judith, but it wasn’t enough.

For those who write fiction, how often do you find yourself jettisoning a story because you fall out of love with it? Or just get stuck. Is this as common as I think it is? Or a symptom of immaturity?
