The tradition of telling the bees upon a person's death (or marriage) has a dark side: if the bees did not know the person prior to being informed, according to Lincolnshire tradition they become ill and die themselves. Keep your bees socially engaged! #WyrdWednesday

hey. you guys know i'm a smutty romance author right. and i can read what you're saying. and that way too many of you are dogging on romance in ways that sound like puritanical nonsense in a time where nsfw works (especially queer ones) are being censored, right. consider your stance. heavily.

Also for ANYONE ELSE confused I'm NOT using 'judeo-christian' to legitimize the term IT'S A FAR-RIGHT DOG WHISTLE. I assumed people seeing it used in context with Christian Nationalism was enough but as this isn't clear to some
you're preaching to the choir here

Why ‘Judeo-Christian values’ are a dog-whistle myth peddled by the far right
Its real purpose is to subsume Judaism and exclude Islam.

This is how you do it. Copyright law isn't "uncertain". Tech bros are just greedy. Don't let them get away with it.
Fantastic ending to Baroness Kidron's speech in the House of Lords yesterday, which led to the government's defeat on AI & copyright.

Every agent I know goes IN on A.I. clauses in publishing contracts to fight against this exact thing, and oh boy *rolls up sleeves* I am ready.

To hell with all this.
Hate this a lot. Value human creators, writers, artists, narrators, editors -- everyone in the chain of making a book and putting it out into the world should be a human being. Humans make art for humans.

P.S. fuck AI -- eat shit, artbarf robots

This is how cases like Aldrich Ames happened, and it's one of my biggest fears.
Huh, lots of angry people, some with security clearances and lots of knowledge valuable to foreign adversaries, suddenly facing mortgage payments and hungry kids, with no jobs, limited prospects and a feeling that their nation just betrayed them.

That won’t end badly, will it?

It's a constitutional crisis and a coup, y'all. The longer we hesitate to admit this, the more trouble we are in.
White House defying court orders, persisting with illegal action, and usurping Congress’ power of the purse, which would effectively end checks and balances. If that’s not a Constitutional crisis, what is?

Sorry, media, but like climate change, Constitutional crisis is out of “some say” territory.
We aren’t quite to the point of a direct and explicit defiance of the courts by the Trump admin. But the doomsday clock on our democracy ticks forward with this declaration from a federal judge.

I logged into SSA.gov and downloaded the history of social security and Medicare payments associated with my account, because who knows what is going to happen to government security.

Book bans are not a hoax. All kids deserve to see themselves in stories. Here are just a few of the many books I’m grateful to have on the shelves at home and at my local indie Banter Bookshop.
