Thank you! Time FLIES

Thank you, Jenna!

Thank you, Representative Green for your courage to stand alone for what’s right. I’m not your constituent but they are lucky to have you.

Thank you for meeting the moment. Let this be a clarion call for more dems to speak out & resist like you, AOC, & Bernie.

I feel the faintest glimmer of hope.

Glad you found it useful! Writing it was therapeutic earlier this month and it’s been nice to feel like I’m doing something, even small.

made this little tool, govwayback.com. add “wayback.com” to “.gov” on any US gov website and it’ll redirect you to that page on @archive.org … from before January 20th 2025

this is called obeying in advance and it’s BAD, ACTUALLY.

make no mistake: labels like these are not for readers; they’re for adults who want to control content. this is the voluntary facilitation of censorship.

Happy belated blogiversary, Dini!

Twisted Love: 7 books with vampires (that aren't Twilight) | Reader Voracious Vampires are BACK! It seems only fitting for this season of love and disillusionment to share a list of books with vampires that aren't Twilight.

Vampires are finally having a bit of a renaissance in publishing. Love & lust are often at the fore of these stories, but it is a twisted love that lacks consent and is rife with exploitation.

This season of love & overconsumption, I’m sharing a list of vampire books. #booksky
