We! Never! Stopped! Getting! COVID!!!! What the actual SHIT is this headline?????? There has never been a time, in the last 4.5 godforsaken years, when we didn't have people getting COVID!!!

A seasonal wave of #Covid is sweeping across the U.S., driven by the FLiRT variants, a trio of the latest #SARSCoV2 mutants making the rounds. So no, it's not your imagination. People are getting Covid again www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...

Yep, people are getting COVID againwww.seattletimes.com A seasonal COVID-19 wave appears to be underway with cases growing or likely growing in 39 states.

We’ve returned to the olden days, when word-of-mouth was the only real way to advertise. As an author, if you enjoy a book, please: tell your friends. Your group chat, your sewing circle, your family WhatsApp, your work Slack, the voice channel of your MMORPG guild, anything.

Hey, so. I understand that this is anecdotal and not research, but. It is WILD how useless social media has become for promo. It's a fucking disgrace, really.

forgot to tag #kidlit 🙂

I’ve been poking around on Ancestry.com and found out that my last name might have originally been L’Heureux and was just mis-written phonetically. The translation? heureux happy, pleased, glad, fortunate, lucky, content What do you know about your name’s meaning?

genuinely hopeful sign that every big name GOP garbage monster is frantically trying to distance themselves from Project Say The Quiet Part Loud In an Easily-Digestible Bullet Point Format About Which There Can Be No Confusion. this means we should all absolutely continue never shutting up about it

I really don’t think most people realize just how hard the boot will come down if Trump and the Republicans win the election. Most people have never experienced the totalitarian surveillance state with the power to reach into their homes and minds at will they are telling us is their plan.

Despicable Me 4 (in 3D!) was just the kind of silly, slapstick distraction I needed

Trump: I don't know anything about Project 2025 Here is a list of all the Trump officials who authored the Project 2025 blueprint, Mandate for Leadership. 25 of 36 were part of the Trump administration. project2025istheocracy.substack.com/p/project-20...

“The Project 2025 playbook was written by more than 20 officials who Trump himself appointed during his first term. If he has ‘no idea’ who they are, he’s showing an alarming cognitive decline.”

“… Project 2025 calls for withdrawing the abortion pill mifepristone from the market, expelling trans members from the military, banning life-saving gender affirming care for young ppl, ending all diversity programs, & using ‘school choice’ to gut public education.” theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Surely reporters will be asking Trump and his campaign to identify the things on Project 2025 he disagrees with and what part are "absolutely ridiculous and abysmal" His own people wrote the fucking thing. So get the answers. Obsess over this for a change

Trump can say he'll distance himself from Project 2025 as much as he wants, but in his last term he appointed every faithful FedSoc judge he could get his hands on, and that's basically the entire game.

No one has written about this (I will) but Project 2025 will destroy federal lands as we know it as well as any progress towards recognizing Native peoples.

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).
