This giveaway is US-only, but is a great opportunity for US readers to catch up fast and fully: sweeps.penguinrandomhouse.com/enter/incrypti…
(If you're outside the US, please don't yell at me. There are legal restrictions to running a lottery. They vary from country to country. I can understand why my publisher would stick with one set of laws for something like this.)
(But even though I understand, the number of times I've been yelled at because "clearly YOU DON'T APPRECIATE your international readers" made me loathe to share this giveaway.)

Oh, yay. "I find the prospect of something by Seanan McGuire being nominated every year a bit disturbing." has resumed, in regards to Best Series. I only have two repeatedly eligible series. Give me a Hugo and I won't be there every year.
Like, I can't say I'll ever be there again, because nominations are not a right. But I write fast and prolifically, and people seem to like me, so I keep cropping up.
And not to say she didn't deserve it, because she did, but Lois McMaster Bujold WON two years in a row--this is only the category's third year--and if she can win twice without getting this kind of grumble, well.

I have a Cog Frog.
I love him so much.
I took a nap, and I still have a Cog Frog. I only need five Familiars at this point (although @vixy likes to remind me that she still doesn't have a Skycat, in case I stumble across a second unobtainable Fam.)

I have found two of my missing dice. One is still lost to the land below the couch.
I want it back. Somehow of the 900+ dice I own, only this one die matters.
I will acquire another 200 or so dice between now and August, and still only this one die will matter.

I went freelance in 2011 after finishing a Ph.D. in Latin American Literature. I had no background in #journalism, and every day that I continue to survive seems miraculous. Inspired by @samirashackle, I'm sharing advice in case it is useful for those who have been laid off.
1. Ideally have six months of expenses saved (I didn't at the time but would do this later). The most difficult part of freelancing is that nobody pays you on time. In some cases, you will need a letter from a lawyer to get outlets to pay you.
2. I didn't have money saved and started out working for free or for really low rates. As you can imagine, I eventually went broke and ended up sleeping on my brother's couch for a few months. In the end, it was no big deal. Failure is a part of the process.

Hello, I am Edna Matta. I was born in #Ibague, known as #Colombia’s #CityofMusic. A beautiful place near snow-covered volcanos (Ruiz, Santa Isabel and Tolima), large expanses of paramo forest, lakes and streams where a diverse array of animal and plant species coexist
My story starts with #powerful, #strong #women in my #family. I was the third of 4 children and my mom #firstMentor had to raise us practically alone, since my father had to work in a different city, 20h away by car
My mom is a very #strong #woman that taught me #values, to #workhard and to be #self-sufficient #StrongWomen #StrongFamily

One of the questions I pursued when working on the A12 podcast, which looked at the history behind the deadly violence in Charlottesville last year, was why the anti-Semitism of Aug 11 & 12 seemed to disappear so rapidly from the narrative. /1
It wasn’t that no one *ever* spoke of it, but given its prominence — chants of “Jews will not replace us,” Nazi flags, the targeting of the synagogue — it seemed to get relatively little attention. /2
The rabbis and scholars I spoke to mused that there were a variety of reasons for this: our limited way of thinking about white supremacy, the sense that anti-Semitism is an odd relic of the past, the awareness that black Americans face much more serious systemic racism. /3

KAVANAUGH states in victimhood “what comes around foes around”.

Oh?

Below his memo to Starr.

Karma?

Kavanaugh whines about left-leaning money but he is steeped in dark money including one organization that spent millions & does not have a biz license.

@RandyRainbow nails it

Kavanaugh is "little boy screaming" because he didn't get what he wanted.

McConnell dismounted Bannon and left him to lick his wounds.
He soonfound Ryan, his earth bound body convulsing amidst copies of The Fountainhead. "The gods are displeased," he hissed with his forked tongue.
Bill chuckled as he hung up the phone. The caller had confirmed what he already knew: The network was done, smashed beyond repair. Much of the wet work had been done by Hillary and Michelle.
"Oh dear," he whispered, knowing what this could mean.
"Oprah has the upper hand."
