Sabotage in multiple ways against ALL white supremacists/ fascists/ nazis and their evil leaders and regimes is a long established tactic, used successfully for hundreds of years.
It's fun too!! πŸ˜‡
Something almost everyone can take part in. Even when news and events make us feel powerless.

This is what's left of the WaPo's eviscerated writing staff. Complaining about people engaging in commerce in agreement with what's being offered to them. Honestly, it's an incredibly convoluted and elitist way to endorse conformity through simplicity.

Ironically, this logorrheic argument against hyper-individualism is a particularly unique way to reshape the "Reject Modernity, Embrace Tradition" meme.

Being a Luddite Is Cool and All, but Have You Seen the Hilarious Tapestries These New Looms Are Making? Don’t get me wrong, I’m as invested in keeping my job as the next weaver. When the boss brought in that big new power loom, I was pretty skeptical....

Undoubtedly, this machine-slop will be cheaper to make, leading to the death of my craft and the loss of my knowledge, all so we can reflexively consume greater quantities of mass-produced garbage and keep the working class poor. I get why the Luddites are pissed, I really do.

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

I stopped after he left office, though I continued to (obsessively) track my reading on Goodreads. I'm tempted to revive the annual letter tradition with Pam Bondi, except, unlike with the W admin, I'm afraid I might be subject to an extraordinary rendition to a camp in Texas if I do. 2/2

After the passage of the Homeland Security Act, every December I used to send then U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft a list of all the books I read that year with a short summary of each because I know he would like to be kept abreast of the reading habits of all Good and Loyal Americansβ„’. 1/2

I have to periodically remind myself that a lot of men don't read (or at least they don't read quality material and fiction). I circulate almost entirely in nerd writer circles and I know a bunch of men absolutely obsessed with books and reading. I often forget, we're the weirdos.

Thank you for mentioning Andrew Vachss. Reading Strega as a teen was the first time I ever thought there might be someone out there who cared what had been done to me. He was a mentor and friend. He was a tough person for a lot of folks to interact with, but I'll vouch for him. He was a good man.

A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.

If you're a military veteran at risk of foreclosure, NPR wants to hear from you The VA has abruptly ended the only low-interest, affordable loan modification option for thousands of vets who are behind on their mortgages. We want to hear your story.

But then I sigh, and, with a piece of scripture,
Tell them that God bids us do good for evil:
And thus I clothe my naked villainy
With odd old ends stol’n forth of holy writ,
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.

The first release from Mystic Monkey Press is one of my favorites! THE OCEAN DARK, originally written as "Jack Rogan." I've licensed the cover of the German edition by Samuel Araya. This is available now in paperback, hardcover, and ebook from most online booksellers.

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).

Yes, ICE and ISIS sound the same, but they are different. They are state-sponsored terrorists sponsored by different states.
