I also block: Accounts that only post politics; Accounts that only repost, no original content; Accounts with bot-vibe bios; Accounts only posting memes. I am not farming for followers, I only want to speak to human beings. Humans with a variety of interests and an actual life.

I need a good pollster to do the following questions: 1. Do you expect men in power will rape? Y/N 2. Is this: - acceptable - unacceptable but can be overlooked - unacceptable and needs to be addressed - I don’t know And then look at the numbers based on victim demographics (age, gender, race)

We're dropping the first 34 pages for Halloween!

And here is book two! www.goodreads.com/book/show/26... (Amazon help says it can take up to a week to merge old and new versions. Good thing I'm SO PATIENT. Also waiting on D2D listings to go out for other platforms, but at least that was approved today.)

Well the good news is that goodreads, at least, has my new cover available and knows the new ebook will be on sale soon... so if you haven't add, maybe add on goodreads?? www.goodreads.com/book/show/26...

All the world over, police are the most essential element of capitalism, without which it would be impossible to preserve such intense disparities in wealth—and those who confront them in France are fighting for all of us. crimethinc.com/cops

(Or read it online for free because we're all flat broke)

Amazon is running a sale on the first SIDEQUESTED! Twelve bucks gets you a fancy 300 page introduction to our book girl as she falls in love with the princess she rescues from a tower. www.amazon.com/SideQuested-... #GraphicNovel #YA #book #books #comics

I am enjoying the temporary and free ability to share gift links. Also enjoying hearing the people singing the song of angry men. It's the music of a people who will not be slaves again, y'know? www.nytimes.com/live/2026/10...

Good godDAMN these women can SING. youtu.be/oC6brLXQe4I

Noticing that that whole thread is getting love from people I literally went to school with and/or have kids the same age as my kids, lol. We remember how shitty things were! Peppridge Farm remembers!

So, one of my favorite Kpop groups, MEOVV, gets flak for *heavy* reliance on the backing track during live performance - lip synching. Have you SEEN their choreography??? This proves they really CAN sing! Just not while sprinting for three minutes! youtu.be/QsdKHvvHOFU

I'll have openings for new editing clients in December! Please bookmark this or email me if you have questions. I'm usually slammed up so I can probably help you find another editor if I'm not a good fit. kbspangler.com/contact/

It is a genuinely beautiful day to to yard work here in St. Paul.

No one enjoys accidentally deploying chemical munitions in the kitchen first thing in the morning. (Two quail eggs were EXTREMELY elderly and *exploded* when cracked, releasing clouds of sulpher dioxide.) (The entire house is open with fans going.)

I truly cannot find words to express my anger at the federal paramilitaries. apnews.com/article/rene...

Gosh, I really do enjoy the movie The 13th Warrior. A fanfic of The Travels of Ahmed ibn Fadlan and Beowulf, as written by Michael Crichton. (Literally. The movie is based on Crichton's book The Eaters of the Dead, which is based on those two works.

It is truly difficult to explain how strongly emotional and mental stress affect autoimmune conditions. My absolutely *twisted* immune system not only belives my trachea is a wound to be sealed shut, it thinks that stress is an allergen worth a five-alarm response.

Yes, we can have nice things. Thanks to gravitational lensing. nautil.us/nasa-shares-...

If you’re reading this, you’re probably a target of NSPM-7, Trump’s effort to criminalize all resistance. It’s time we got organized to fight back. The NSPM-7 Defendant’s Union presents a collective defense pledge, repression tracker, handbills, and more. crimethinc.com/NSPM7Defenda...

Prospect Park (Minneapolis) Thursday morning bridge brigade over I-94. People will also be out there with "vote" banners at some point each day from Tuesday before Election Day to November 2.

Please vote, nobody knows wtf is going on anymore and the lies have the bit between their teeth.

Please don’t trust the polls, y’all. They have been inaccurate AF way too often. Vote like we are 3% down in every race and we need every single vote to pull out a win. Bc I fear that may be more accurate. Vote like your life + liberty depend on it. Come hell or high water, get to the ballot box.

I have just watched The Wolf Man (1941) for the first time. This is a jam-packed 70 minutes of amazing acting, a packed cast, great cinematography, and a much better story than I ever suspected. Highly recommend.

The wait times at the early voting locations in my vicinity are around an hour. Folks here are absofuckinglutely determined to tell our duly elected government not only what it should do but who should be doing it.

Ramsey County sheriff Bob Fletcher’s racist gang task force was broken up years ago. Now he’s getting it back together, leveraging Trump and Emmer’s anti-Somali screeds. The Star Tribune is helping him.

I listen and re-listen to the Andy Serkis audiobook of LoTR and The Hobbit many night in order to fall asleep. I let them play all night. When I half-rouse in the night they let me fall right back to sleep. The only very tiny complaint I have is that Serkis's Gollum screech will wake me up.

"I have friends everywhere."

MSPsky, someone in Minneapolis has found what appears to be a stolen Mac laptop and would like to return it to the owner.

Whatever else is wrong in my life, at least I can be righteously irritated at political spam texts.

you can have whatever body you want at the age of 42 if you start robbing graves now
