Workers in the sanitation, water, housing, and more could now go on strike.

87% of the voting members approved the authorization.

Libraries buy books! We buy a lot of books (even though bookscan doesn't count those sales). People find new authors at the library and buy their books later. Everyone wins and authors make money.
Honestly it brings so much joy when I see someone post a picture of them reading a library edition of my book. Libraries know their communities and buy books bc they think their communities will want to read them!!
Speaking as an author: one thing you can do is to contact your local library and ask them to order a book. Quite seriously no pressure on anybody to do anything! Times are hard. There’s too much to do. Just want folks to know that authors appreciate library orders very much.

The slow trickle of MAGA folks over here underscores how much their experience of online is entirely dependent on people getting mad at them. It also underscores how even they, given the option, would rather not hang out with themselves either.

Scoop: Republicans are quietly delaying more than $1 billion in planned funding for a life-saving HIV program — demanding changes to terms like abortion, sexual reproductive health, even "human rights" in the program’s documents.

It’s the latest hurdle facing PEPFAR. More here.
Republicans delay more than $1 billion in HIV program funding
The funding delays are the latest complication facing PEPFAR, a life-saving program that has been ensnared in a broader political fight around abortion.

I saw someone say it was "art heist romance month" and wanted to remind folks of my F/NB art heist romance where bitter thief exes turn rivals over the same target and old sparks start to fly again 🔥

Lewiston is still in lock down. Since the gun debate is so often framed around freedom what about the freedom of movement, to leave your house, go to work, go out? Why does your right to Rambo cosplay trump my mom's right to run to the grocery store?
Mass shooting in my home town. Suspect at large according to the local newspaper. My mom is fine. It's just...the "serious" people who tell me I'm suppose to respect the people & opinions that keep this country drowning in guns. Fuck that & fuck them

There are mobs of armed settlers rampaging around the West Bank brazenly stealing from Palestinians and forcing them to flee their homes, and we're here being tone-policed about how we talk about it.
