Today, Michelle and I are proud to announce that we will be hosting the dedication ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center on June 18th in Chicago, and welcoming the public on June 19th.
We can’t wait for you to visit. Go to obama.org to learn more.
Reminds me of how I desire to write "confessions of a love lorne stripper" but characterizing it as not not semi autobiographical, but i was thinking about killing off a few characters.
Some days I think I could actually make money as a writer/publisher who hadn't selected a super niche genre to publish, you know, like one I didn't have to explain to people what it actually was before they bought it.
But dang, it would be less fun.
And I think writing and reading ought to be fun!
Primordial soup.
Yum.
Order! Order!
There will be order at the circus!
Wait. They are releasing Epstein files to distract Americans from the war in Iran now?
See....
Doomed.
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
I believe that belongs in Egypt.
How OPERATION EPSTEIN FURY is going so far:

In today's edition of doomed:
Humans - the "special" animal.
The cover has a light blue background tinge. Centered in the upper third is the title and underneath is the author. The illustrators name is centered in the lower one-sixth. In the middle is Stuart, dressed in a red shirt and yellow shorts. He's steering a canoe down a stream. There are various green plants in circled around the canoe, but Stuart and the canoe are center stage.

Gray and white tuxedo cat, Mina Harker, licking a dilute tortie kitten (Clover) in front of an opened, screened deck door.
It's blurry, but cute. Mina and little Clover enjoying the warm weather, fresh air, and birdcalls.
I'm never moving because books.
A democratic candidate just won in the *checks notes*
Arkansas state house special election.
Flip from R to D.
Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
Idk man, I voted for the black lady.
It actually doesn't matter whether this war is unpopular or not if you have a party that clearly has no intention of getting re-elected through democratic means.
"The things that will DESTROY US are:
POLITICS WITHOUT PRINCIPLES;
PLEASURE WITHOUT CONSCIENCE;
WEALTH WITHOUT WORK;
knowledge without character;
BUSINESS WITHOUT MORALITY;
SCIENCE WITHOUT HUMANITY;
and worship without sacrifice."

My baby is back in print today 🥰
A woman trying to save her city has to slit a few throats to do it in this noir-inspired dark fantasy world, a story I wanted to tell that was the reason I became a writer.

Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to.
Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.
As soon as they changed the name to "Department of War" it was obvious that we were cooked.
Be right back. Gonna punch my neighbor before he can punch me for getting punched by some other guy.
What's up? Chicken butt!
