Many thanks to @m_m_mcginnis & @LAReview for this lovely, generous review of SAD GROWNUPS!.

Where is Congress? Trump defied a federal judge and deported people without due process after already defying Congress in more ways than I can list here. Does Congress not care about losing their power and purpose?.

Anyone who tells you the government is eliminating waste: no. they're eliminating programs that rich people aren't making money off of so rich people can make more money.

The US is currently a country that targets, threatens, detains, and deports people for political speech. Where are the congresspeople who've spent years expounding on the importance of free speech?.

RT @dylanotes: If the dean of one of the country’s top journalism schools is advising students to self-censor because “nobody can protect y….

nothing is working as well as it was 2 months ago (airlines, the economy, the government). republicans who used to want the govt out of things are singing absolute power over to a president who wants to control everything (private law firms, private universities). Terrifying.

RT @taliaotg: BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home….

Here it is: the Republican party no longer supports free speech. Imprisoning people who disagree with you is illegal, anti-American, in opposition to The Constitution, and is very much what dictators do.

Is this administration actually cared about anti-semitism, they'd go after these guy and not universities

white people: if you're so fragile you can't handle amplifying the history and accomplishments of Black people in the US, do some self-reflection. It's #BlackHistoryMonth2025 - time to learn about & and celebrate the history & accomplishments of Black people in America.

RT @EricScotTryon: Wow wow wow! Another stunner by @amy_stuber_ ! 🔥🔥. Stuber is a must-read author that more people need to know about!. R….

I haven't been posting here, but I have a new flash - about being young & in a new place (entirely unrelated to my current personal experience, as I'm old and in the same place!). Still, I hope you'll read it - thanks @Wigleaf 💚

If you know of anyone who might like a "funny," "humane," "sensitive," and "deeply satisfying" short story collection, I hope you'll consider gifting them my debut book, SAD GROWNUPS. Indie books need support - I'd appreciate if you'd share this!

RT @Matt_Stefon: Hi, All—I’m in need of $80 to get through the upcoming week. I’m off a really busy, rough week. I really just need gas and….

RT @Matt_Stefon: Alex is at 25% of his goal right now. Let’s help him get to 50% before mid-week. Please help if you can.

Thank you so much, Eric - so very kind!.

not on this site much, but this was so nice - made my weekend - thank you @StanchionZine!.

trump's statement about forcing universities to comply with his policies or risk their endowments is absolute dictator shit. here we are, so quickly, so unsurprisingly.

focusing on the little/good things so wanted to share that my son who is 16 has a new poem up @rustandmoth (long live literary magazines and writers and readers!).
