this is about where I’m at

the level of incandescent rage at Dem leadership is as high as I’ve ever seen and it’s not the rage of a population that is ready to go “well, I wanted to fight Trump but Schumer sucks so I guess fascism it is”

but primaries are going to start looking a lot different

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

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Screenshot of Tweets that say: "Once at my granny's house my uncle excitedly said a James Bond film was on the tv. My Da said "sure they're all the same, a load of lads shooting at one lad then a mountain blows up." My uncle got really mad at how reductive that was then became furious when the mountain blew up. My Da, of course, knew it was the one where the mountain blows up at the end. This was a foundational lesson which illustrated to me that walking the path of the hater means knowing more about something that people who profess to like it."

I think everyone should every now and then stop and question their identities. Just think about your gender and if you might be happier as something else.

Deciding you're perfectly comfortable as you are is a completely valid outcome.

Just give yourself the chance to explore who you are.

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

Because THE DEAD MAN is out in exactly one week, let's go for the first sentence of that.

Convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence. Share yours if you want!

Screenshot of the opening of The Dead Man showing the first sentence of the book. The text shown reads: The Dead Man There comes a point in the life of every mage-for-hire when the thing they want most in life is a knock on the door, an indication that someone – anyone! – might want to part with a few copper oars, maybe even a silver shield, to employ them for their valuable and irreplaceable services, preferably before they starve to death. And there comes a point sometime after that

Excited to show everyone House of the Underworld's cover!

Madalithea's story is going truly wild places alongside Maria Ying's The Persephone Effect, so please look forward to more turmoil, lesbian romance, sisterhood, escalating danger, and baking!

Book cover for House of the Underworld by Cirice Gray. Two nearly identical figures face each other in mirrored symmetry, both have vibrant red hair and freckles, one has brown eyes, the other grey. Above, in the background, a golden sunburst and a pale crescent moon loom over a cityscape. The image is framed by an art nouveau-style silver-grey border.

Baby pigeon mystery.
My pigeon book is here: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/rosem...
A six-panel comic. In panel 1, text says "People often wonder, why don't I see baby pigeons? Here's where they're hiding:" and there's an egg with an arrow pointing to a question mark, then an arrow pointing to an adult pigeon. Panel 2 says "Pigeons don't nest in trees. They nest in sheltered spaces on or in buildings. This keeps their babies safe from weather and predators." There's a pigeon nesting in a sheltered cavity in the side of a building. Panel 3 says "The hidden babies look like this: like moldy potatoes, but cute" and there are two baby pigeons looking, well, like moldy pink and gray potatoes with yellow fuzz. Panel 4 says "Older baby pigeons hide in plain sight. When they leave the nest, they're adult-sized, but they're still young and learning" and a fledgling pigeon is flying out of a building saying "aaaaaa". Panel 5 says "Here's how to identify these young pigeons" and shows a fledgling pigeon with arrows pointing to these features: eyes may be gray-brown, pale-edged feathers, smaller "nose" (cere), subdued hues, and looks worried. Panel 6 says "Scientifically speaking, though, all pigeons are sweet babies" and there are three very cute round pigeons, a gray, white, and red one, with arrows pointing to them to make things look scientific.

I… am also presently in need of assistance. My needs are scant but I basically have no buffer for emergencies right now.

The best way to help is by buying my ebooks, which pays me out directly. If you can afford it and are in the market for gender euphoric isekai, try them.
