Out of town ICE thugs physically intimidate an immigration attorney protecting her clients.
ATTORNEY: "Don't push me! Why are you trying to pick them up?"
ICE GOON: "It's none of your business!"
ATTORNEY: "It is my business—I'm their attorney. It's EXACTLY my business!"
They give up and leave 😭
Thank you Eugene Goodman for saving Democracy during the Capitol insurrection #January6th
I needed a good holiday read to help me procrastinate on gift wrapping...
Exploring the radical concept that yes, even Alexander the Great probably had massive amounts of battlefield PTSD 😬

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential
Among other writing shenanigans, recently got to join in the fluffy Les Mis AU created by the ever-talented @musicalibrarian.bsky.social
Javert lives, Gavroche lives, and everyone is a little less Misérables. ❤️

The image is of a comic. Panel one depicts Santa Claus. He says, "Have you been naughty or nice?" Panel two depicts a happy dog. He says, "I am ALWAYS a good boy." Santa responds "Very nice!" Panel three depicts Santa again. He says "...And you?" Panel four depicts an orange cat climbing a Christmas tree, turning his head to look back at Santa.
This is Bear. He is in charge of supervising Thanksgiving dinner preparation. Appointed himself to the role, but takes it very seriously. 14/10 (TT: emileebellant)
glass--beach@tumblr.com: "the point of art is not to be great but to make it transparently obvious that there is something wrong with you" naniiebimworks@tumblr.com: "oh. this is a much better standard to live by."
This is my writing philosophy 😂

I, a living god, have no flaws and take offense at the question...

Oh man, I needed this too ❤️
They turned out so lovely! A great Christmas gift for the hubby. Can't thank you or praise you enough for this fabulous artwork @faindriart.bsky.social
The Midwife's Apprentice by Karen Cushman is a YA historical fiction, but it's pretty well researched. Set in medieval England.
Thanks so much, Maureen! I'll pass this along! Very helpful!!
Arlington does have an eviction prevention/emergency financial assistance program, but there is far greater need than the resources available.
Folks should contact 703-228-1300 or dhs@arlingtonva.us to explore this option/see what other programs might be available
(I should specify: the resources are there, but the agency isn't facilitating them necessarily)
Lots of good resources for feds at my agency's level, but the local and statewide resources are a bit of a gap.
Gov't employee but not presently furloughed, but I have friends who are. Most aren't sure of their rights as renters (if any). Can they request delayed payments for their monthly rent without getting exorbitant fees, etc? MD has certain renter protections, but many aren't sure what is codified in VA
I've also been obsessed with the ancients lately! Greece, Macedon, and Persia for me.
Shameless self-pitch, but if you're into fiction on this time period, my latest work is about Alexander the Great and very much ancient Greek-y. No prior knowledge required.

When all you wanna do is go to battle with your guy, and all he wants to do is kiss ya. I guess you just do both.🤷♀️

Since most of the character arc is about his speedrun towards a massive god complex, I wouldn't describe Alexander the Great as a good winner or a quiet gloater. 😬

61,000 words since August, y'all. The downfall of law and order is apparently my muse.

Military guy points to bar “this one is for enduring Pete Hegseth’s display of toxic masculinity.”
Liza Donnelly nails it.
~~AITA (12M) for contriving various tests that will make everyone see that my arch-nemesis (13M) is awful?
No, he hasn't *done* anything wrong, but I just have a feeling about him.

Awesome, best of luck!
And yeah, they used to be one of the better platforms, but they've gotten overly restrictive. Mature themes are part of life, and it's far better to let users self-select their preferred content instead of the host site itself controlling it.
Still counts as writing.

Archive of Our Own; it's an online writing community that started mostly with fanfiction but has spread to original works too. (A lot of people are coming from Wattpad since they began censoring their works).
It is not monetized, but it's a good way to get an audience started.
A deserved shout-out to @musicalibrarian.bsky.social for tuning me into Ao3.
I never expected my work to be The Next Big Thing, but I hoped that at least some people would enjoy it.
I now have a growing(!!) audience and lots of supportive folk. It means a lot!
Thanks all ❤️

Normally a cat person myself, but I'm sold on this by the title alone. Adorable.
