My sister reminded me that it’s the anniversary of my first book today! I published The Wolf’s Call on this day twelve years ago and it’s still going strong. Mind you, it’s free, which helps. 😀

The UK is very good at piling on politicians for gaffes, but oddly shit at piling on them for being cruel, destructive, avaricious bastards who are making everyone’s lives noticeably worse.

Cookie got a clean bill of health from the vet, who saved her when she had a close shave last month! She said Cookie is doing really well, though her issues are still ‘a ticking time bomb’. We are hoping we can manage them medically and keep her happy and comfy before that happens. I’m really glad to have extra time with her.

I need someone to explain to me why Al Franken had to resign, but Matt Gaetz is still in Congress.

Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

Did you know that the first time terrorists used planes to attack Americans wasn’t on 9/11 or at Pearl Harbor? It was during the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 when white supremacists flew “a dozen planes to drop turpentine or nitroglycerin bombs & men shot from planes.”

103 years later, we must keep fighting for reparations for Tulsa Race Massacre survivors, and bring about meaningful racial justice in America.

In his annual Pride declaration
President Joe Biden made a condemned bans on healthcare for transgender youth as antithetical to the basic American values of life, safety, and dignity.

Where did I hear about it first? Oh, just the Daily Wire.

Look, I'm not a big Biden booster, I'm particularly unhappy about the genocide support thing, but I do think we need to be willing to give credit/call attention to strong supportive statements by the US President!!
