New arrival

I am /not/ arguing that it is a good movie. But... Man. Eight year old me LOVED it. Made me a Godzilla fan and that has to count for something, right?

And if you've read this book, you probably don't want to be 🍄...

The cover of Wife Shaped Bodies depicts the lower part of a woman's face completely surrounded by brightly colored fungus and hands pressing in around her.

WIFE SHAPED BODIES by Laura Cranehill was one of the most viscerally unsettling books I've read in a long time and honestly I still feel a little shudder of "ick" when I think about it...but if you like feminist body horror it's absolutely a Can't Miss title. #ewgc 💙📚

I'll be there! I can't wait 💜💜💜

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1990: 25%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.
