My nervous breakdown is presently simmering in the background because I got a lot of work done today (considering) but I expect to remain mostly offline for the next two weeks as various deadlines for things approach. Please buy my books and/or buy at least someone's books. Just buy books.
I know there’s a lot going on, but we can’t ignore this.
Mystery writers in particular might enjoy Peggy Blair's A Mystery Writer's Guide to Getting Published. Blair's book is straightforward and provides advice from her own experience. I reviewed it recently for The Seaboard Review of Books. www.theseaboardreview.ca/p/a-mystery-...
Please do your part to help stop this. Write a letter to BLM today! mikerembis982868.substack.com/p/the-road-t...

Turtling. Trump is unhinged and waging a “religious” war. PP is off on his taxpayer funded gap year. Carney is falling back on his “I know banking” which is long term help but at least he’s an adult.
I've been living in a hotel since mid-2024, and I've finally found an apartment if I can come up with $2500 up front for the deposit + first month's rent. Any help is appreciated, including sharing this post. #MutualAidRequest #TransCrowdFund

Yes, we’ve entered the nightmare era when machines decide on kills. My thoughts are with Sarah Connor at this difficult time.

Need some distraction material this weekend? Skyla has a big sale on her website.
Skyla's books are full of female rage and found family and are just magical! If you need something to read that's supernatural horror, thriller, urban fantasy, or mystery, she has you covered! I truly cannot say enough good things about her books.
“The recent epidemic waves have exposed the vulnerability of our social infrastructure to disease dissemination, and additional engineering controls focused on airborne pathogens are needed. The COVID-19 pandemic, a resurgence of endemic respiratory viruses…

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.
I normally don't do this but my family is in dire need of help! My stepfather passed away last week and we immediately need money to not only cover his funeral expenses but living expenses as well for 5 kids and both my mother and I are disabled.

Trump: "Spain said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it"
Not receiving consent and moving forward anyway is a consistent theme in his life — as E. Jean Carroll can attest
Good.
Let my get this straight. As fascism sweeps across our country and American citizens are being MURDERED in the streets, as the pedophile führer plots to rig the 2026 midterm elections — the authoritarian psychopath is pushing Iranians to fight for democracy in Iran? Really? 😂🤣
As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter
Mature commentary by Bob Rae on today's events in Iran. I would have preferred this tone from the Prime Minister.

Dude in a truck stopped alongside me as I was laying out the vultures' snacks, looked up at the circling vultures and back at me, and then poked his head out the window to ask, "You the vulture woman my son's schoolbus talks about?"
Trump in 2011: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.”
I said it and I meant it.
"I have little faith in our representatives, seeing as they knew about Epstein all along and did nothing, but there is still stigma in being a pedophile protector. Pressure officials for truth and accountability and call them a pedophile protector if they resist.
This is because the Pentagon and Trump don’t like Anthropic’s language preventing their tech from being used to surveil Americans or for autonomous weapons. Which means the Pentagon wants to use their tech to surveil Americans and build autonomous weapons apnews.com/article/anth...
On one hand, people are celebrating Anthropic for saying "no" to Trump, and I respect that.
On the other, they stole every word I've ever written and ruthlessly exploited my work for their personal gain without even thinking of paying a penny for it, so...fuck 'em anyway?
Be really funny if the thing that prompts the AI bubble to burst is the world's most poopy baby being mad that AI is too woke.
I wish this was talked about more.
