Is Donald discovering that stealing Venezuelan oil to make up the shortfall isn't simple and requires time and infrastructure investment first, aside from said theft being cowardly, rank bandritry that only a sick Epsteinian dog like a Trump could call right 🤷♂️
Saudi Arabia is running out of options to export its vast oil reserves as attacks force its main pipeline shut while Iran and its allies cement their chokehold on the kingdom's two main maritime routes, analysts say. u.afp.com/SjXX

Anyone telling an author not to mention their books here can go fuck themselves
Also anyone telling anyone else how to run their own social media accounts can go fuck themselves too
If the way someone does their thing here bothers you, unfollow/mute/block them, but you don't get a vote otherwise

A Bluesky user has written to me to ask me to stop mentioning my books on here. I wonder... Should I continue trying my best to make a living in a tough world via the writing I've spent decades putting my heart & soul into?
Or should I obey them?
Nah. I'm going to continue mentioning my books.

It rained and stormed for most of my time in Rarotonga. Fortunately I had some books with me. “Everything will swallow you” by Tom Cox was my favourite. A beautiful written, meandering, lush story with characters that I want to have over for a feed and a wine. Amazing! @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social
