Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

“Look, it’s not against the rules anywhere, but a black woman with power was dating and there has to be something wrong with that.”

People are weird.

Let there be snark.

He really is that stupid.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

We still have time to mess this up!

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Writers Chatting: Meeting Reminder

by TaMara|  December 2, 201610:06 am| 18 Comments

This post is in: Authors In Our Midst, Open Threads, Writing Group

FacebookTweetEmail

Just a reminder that there will be a writing group thread on Sunday (Dec 4) at 12:30 EST/9:30 PST. For now we are going to talk process, resources and support. We’ll revisit sharing pieces after the new year.

See you there!

Also: There will be no recipe threads for a while, but I’ll probably put together some holiday stuff later in the month. My focus is usually around Christmas stuff, but if anyone wants to send me recipes and info on different holiday celebrations, please do. I would love to post about that – include photos!

    I’m still working on my novel that will offend everyone in the world.

    General Baud and the war on Christmas will feature prominently.

    I’ll try to remember to get up on time here on the West Coast. Like everyone else, I haven’t been sleeping well.

    I can tell you guys more about the really snarky book I read for research that was written around 1830 by Anthony Trollope’s mom Frances, who was an author in her own right.

    Woot! I’m still doing the framework for the upcoming book (knowing that once it starts it must come out with a chapter every Monday). Also, the video of a con panel I did (with a awesome millenial kid) on dialogue, came out. So I can link that (actually I’ve got a fair bit of stuff like that out there)

    looks like I’ll have to kiss it in real time – wouldn’t you know, this is the one week we’re going to go hunting on Sunday instead of Saturday! But I look forward to reading everyone’s thoughts!

    @Mnemosyne: ? What insomnia epidemic? I missed that post. Is flu/cold keeping you up? I hope you get some rest soon!

    @Pogonip:

    No, it’s the insomnia epidemic of waking up at 3 am with the realization that we just elected a fucking white supremacist to be our president.

    But also it’s the Santa Ana winds stirring up a lot of junk in the air and giving me a stuffy nose. I probably need to buy some distilled water and use my neti pot to clear it out.

    @Mnemosyne: Yes, there’s a lot of that going around. (The nazi-induced existential dread insomnia, that is). I spent a relaxing three hours from 2:00 to 5:00 this morning wide awake.

    I’ll have to check back. That’s 2:30am my time, so I doubt I’ll be able to attend live. Very excited to see this group get off the ground.
