You know you're getting old when staff barely glance at you before they slap the "Over 18" wristband on.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

I keep seeing authors getting duped by AI users pretending to be artists (and then sadly realising it when everyone calls their book AI slop).

These grifters are everywhere and I don't have a solution, but I have a few pointers:

To anyone that needs clarification, "your best" is what you can accomplish without damage to your physical, mental and emotional health, not what you can accomplish by destroying them

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Listen. The average person just doesn’t need training to know that it’s wrong to kill people.

This is not some big complex problem that requires expertise to get right. If ICE is killing people, it’s from a lack of morality, not a lack of knowledge.

Folks, please don’t tell artists they shouldn’t be making or selling their art right now. For many, it’s how they pay the bills. Art is vital during times like this. ALL ART. Whether it’s a protest sign or a book cover or just a beautiful drawing. It’s part of the heart of humanity.

Thank you for talking about BPPV and sorry you have to experience it. It is truly the worst.

I have BPPV & it is the WORST. An episode feels like being shoved in a barrel, thrown roughly down a bumpy hill, & landing in a rapid before finally crawling ashore feeling more nauseous (& vomiting) than you ever have in your life. I'm glad to see people speaking about how debilitating it is.

January 15 entry on calendar: "MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.'S BIRTHDAY Xena ends the Trojan War"

I found out that you can reuse a decades old calendar if its year’s dates line up with the current year’s, so this year I got a lovely 1998 Xena: Warrior Princess calendar. The way they added show events into it is cracking me up.

A poem by Diana Wynne Jones, very early in her career. Wilkins Tooth was published in 1973. Richard, Colin and Mickey in the poem are not fictionalized: those are indeed the names of her sons.

It bothers me a lot when people erase queer, trans, and nonbinary authors writing m/m fiction in favor of calling us all "straight women" because we aren't gay cis white men,

But it especially pisses me off when people toss my friends' names at me like a gotcha.

A giant yellow sign on the side of the road announces β€œYOU ARE ENTERING A FRUIT FLY CONTROLLED AREA” and below that in smaller letters β€œMake sure you know the rules.”

I don’t think we should have ceded control quite so quickly and without so much as a fight.

The most recent one is β€œRobin Hood was a murderer and terrible person actually.” Like, do you even get the point of Robin Hood?

I grow weary of these gritty Robin Hood retellings. Where are the adventurous, romantic, camp, and vibrant Robin Hoods of yore?

When that Man is Dead and Gone (1941) - Protest song against Hitler (Live Take)
When that Man is Dead and Gone (1941) - Protest song against Hitler (Live Take) YouTube video by Lizzy & the Triggermen

Here's another take on a song which has been running through my head a lot these days β€”

"Satan thought up a plan
Dressed as a man
Walking the earth and since he began
The world is hell for you and me
But what a heaven it will be
When that man is dead and gone."
