Democracy is dying in rural America. No one wants to run for local seats. This is how power becomes entrenched.

Few Tehachapi-area races will be on the ballot in 2026
While there are plenty of active state and federal races underway, the greater Tehachapi area doesn't have much in the way of contested local races in 2026.

Attention Everyone,

My husband has gifted us with a new term.

Rather than enshittification, we are all living through The Crappening.

You may now resume your regularly scheduled doomscrolling.

Motion to rename Europe BatLand
For years, bats were thought to have originated in Asia, Africa or North America.

A landmark study revealed a new understanding of their origins, as well as their evolutionary history — which many scientists believe holds clues for human medical science. https://wapo.st/46Eg3vg

Because I cannot flatter and look fair,
Smile in men’s faces, smooth, deceive, and cog,
Fuck with French nods and apish courtesy,
I must be held a rancorous enemy.
Ok don’t let’s get carried away but I found something genuinely good on Threads.

Ways in which I'm basically Shakespeare:

*Making up words
*Creative approach to spelling
*Weird hairline
*Digs puffed sleeves (shout-out Anne Shirley)
*Sometimes forgets Venice has canals
*Incomprehensible to the youths
*Probably stole my best story ideas
*Why use one word when ten will do?
*Tights

If I used AI, I would create an image of Tuberville having sex with a furry who's wearing a Roll Tide t-shirt, but I don't, so you'll just have to use your precious, god-given imagination.

Also, in this instance, Tuberville is a bottom.
It's one thing to wheel out Matt Gaetz to scream "trans" loudly as a distraction from these disastrous years of war and misrule. That's an established trope. But to have Tuberville, in all his bespittled glory, inveighing against Furries as the new frontier in GOP electoral distraction. Well, damn.

How did I not know any of this? I'm very grateful for this post.
I don't think I've ever talked on Bluesky about why I hate the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl.

Don't read any further unless you're prepared for uncomfortable truths about the "Nicest Guy in Rock", and his very substantial body count & subsequent cover-up.

OK.

Y'all know the drill.

I wrote a book, created an author character, then wrote some books under the fake guy's name.

Three books.

This is one of them.

The Kindle version is currently marked down.

All proceeds go to spoiling my cats.

This is not the Ginger Way. Ed will be dealt with at the next Gathering of Gingers
Ed Sheeran has released a statement on Macklemore being removed from his tour for speaking up for Palestine:

“I am not complicit. […] Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have [my own opinions], and it doesn't mean I don't care.”

Spoilers: Marble Hall Murders

A middle-aged woman with gray-streaked red hair:

*names it an anagram of her own surname
*publishes a book referenced in and "written by" a fictional character from a longer series

Ahem.
