Okay troublemakers, punks, antifa supervillains, and anyone who just enjoys being a petty little shitbird while they fuck up the algorithm of a massive media corp. Here's your assignment for the weekend. Get on it and spread the word.

A disabled woman just hired a care provider through IHSS. (CA's in home care program for low income.) Today is the new workers first day. Her assigned work is cooking and laundry. Client is feels bad about canceling because she has no food in the house (SNAP) and her washer is broken. 😭 #SNAP

“They asked for a sword, and we said, ‘Well, we do have swords, but we can’t give them away because they’re museum artifacts,’” said Todd Arrington, forced to resign as head of Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library.”

Sometimes I get hung up on a detail in a book and can't move forward till I resolve that story. This time, in Blacque/Bleu, Blacque's father, Dane, has a tragic backstory that affects how his children find love. So now, I'm writing Dane's story. It's gutting me. :( #writing #romance

Please, view this entire thread. Then share it. A lot of folks in the gaming world, in the sci-fi/fantasy world, have brushed up against some of these people. The topic is heavy, but folks a lot smarter than I am have taken time to offer some education and explanation. #CharlieKirk

Due to Bluesky video limits, a lot of people haven't been able to share some of the fabulous Groyper explainer videos being passed around the internet. So I'm splitting them up & posting the best ones here: Please save the thread & share with others! GROYPER EXPLAINER THREAD: 🧵👇🏼

One of my first novels, and possibly my personal favorite! Belle was inspired by a beautiful, imposing woman I crossed paths with in a grocery store. She was over 6'4" and traveling through with a women's basketball team. Absolutely gorgeous.

Just dropped into Twitter for a few masochistic moments and the first posts I encountered were...interesting. There's a right-wing theory taking off: Kirk was murdered by the T administration because he was calling for the release of the Epstein Files... Things are turning upside down.

If you haven't been following this account, she's been digging into the FBI coverup of the Epstein Files. This is the sort of reporting we expect from the media, but are getting only from independent journalists. #TrumpEpsteinCoverup

My reporting uncovered the existence of DoJ training videos instructing FBI personnel on how to flag Trump’s name in the Epstein files. I’m suing to get the videos under FOIA. substack.com/@muellershew...

I have a lotta, lotta favorite authors...so many. But the name that immediately comes to mind for romance...sincere, quiet, everlasting love is Mary Balogh. Her novel "Simply Love" is ones of the simplest, deepest love stories I've ever read.

There's a Go Fund Me circulating, raising money for a golden retriever in Europe, who allegedly has pyometria. The GFM went up Aug. 8. This dog is either dead, recovering, or it's fake. Pyo is deadly. It's an infection of the uterus and must be treated immediately. The profile has been suspended.

During Desert Storm, my nephew enlisted in the Marines. He thought he was joining the "good fight" and was going in a hero. He discovered wasn't the hero. Same with today's military who are occupying US cities. The government tells them they're doing a good thing. They aren't. #NationalGuard

Thinking about assault by sandwiches. (thread) When I was in the 8th grade, (a very long time ago) our class went to observe a local trial at the courthouse. The charges were Assault With the Intent to Kill, and Assault With a Deadly Weapon. It was a bar fight, the weapon was a beer mug. 1/

These are very bad, sad, and dangerous times and it's just getting worse. A beer mug can do actual damage, but unless an assailant stuffs a sandwich into a sleeping person's mouth, it's not a weapon. It's disrespect, but a crime? Come on. What a bunch of snowflakes.

Bottom line is this is overreaction. It's punitive. We have men and women who used dangerous weapons to assault police, and they're now the good guys. A guy in a pink polo shirt is going to get all kinds of repercussions because he threw a sandwich, while facing down a ton of LE. 4/

This guy might have been the instigator. He might have shit-talked. Who knows? But he was one man doing the same thing the others were doing. And the charges were extreme. When I saw the guy who threw the sandwich, my first thought was to laugh. Then..."Oh shit. They're gonna bust his ass." 3/

A beer mug can cause some legit damage. But in this case, it was several men on one. Specifically, several white men on one Indigenous man. In a bar where only whites were allowed. (very backwoods, very Shasta County.) Even a bunch of 8th graders saw the issue. This guy was defending himself. 2/

Fun as this sounds, it's one thing to go low, another to do it illegally. We don't have the SCOTUS in our pocket, so any gains would be erased. Regardless of how much support CA is showing for the redistricting plan, watch how fast we'll pivot if it's done without our support.

The new political strategy for virtually anyone, but I’d personally like to see the left embracing it a lot more is: Just Do It, Lol. California shouldn’t be having a ballot prop about gerrymandering, Newsom should just do it, lol. Let someone try to figure out how to stop you, and ignore them.

Representative Doug LaMalfa (R, CA District 1) finally put his big boy pants on and started doing town halls. At 7:30 in the morning. It didn't go well. For him. It's really bad sign when you've lost your white senior voters in a majority Republican district. #GOP #MAGA #2026Elections

Imagine being a Russian spy and wandering into the restroom at Mar-a-Lago to take a dump. Jack Smith is an American hero who should've received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Trump is an American traitor who should've received a life sentence.
