The Last Rose of Summer is a true story about corruption in #cancer research. I discovered a cheap, plant-derived drug that could replace some much more toxic (but more lucrative) therapies. #BigPharma got involved and suppressed the research. Eventually I had to publish the story in thinly veiled fiction and survive a bunch of murder attempts.

"Mary Austin" is a pseudonym, as my publisher forced me to use one. So... hi, I'm "Mary." 🤷‍♀️

I really DGAF what happens to my body when I die. It's enough for me that I'll never have to see Donald Trump in Heaven. I just want to be water cremated, because that produces much lower CO2 emissions than traditional flame cremation. I don't even want a memorial service. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I can't wait till the #Tesla earning call on the 22nd.

Leopards are out in force, eating one face after another. Most #Republicans are too cowardly to hold town halls, the ones who do are getting an earful, and in the rest of the districts looks like people are calling #MAGA radio to express their anger. The fact that right wing hosts are allowing these angry statements about Trump means the wind is really shifting.

Callers to conservative radio shows voice their displeasure with Trump’s tariffs

Conservative radio listeners have been vocal about their displeasure as President Donald Trump’s tariffs created economic uncertainty and sent stock markets plunging. Though many right-wing media figures have dismissed the stock market volatility and praised Trump’s tariff policy, some listeners of right-wing radio shows were displeased, calling in to pronounce it “reckless,” “sloppy,” and “the single biggest, dumbest move in political history.” Callers have previously complained about Trump’s gutting of federal programs and jobs, comments about Ukraine, approach to birthright citizenship, attacks on Canada, and comments about Gaza, among other topics.

Well, DARVO describes the ultra rich in a nutshell

I'm just not very moved by another craven old white Republican saying "Here's why you should feel sorry for me for me failing you." Confronted with all their deliberate failures, they always collapse into self pity and DARVO. They've been doing it their whole lives. Handle your job or GTFO and let a better person do it.

Sorry, Lisa, I feel a little more sorry for the innocent Venezuelan men rotting in that Salvadoran gulag, thanks to your cowardly refusal to fulfill your oath.

@PedestrianError @augieray Yeah, she swore an oath to defend the Constitution. Plenty of us are willing to risk our lives for the Constitution even without an oath.

Weekend reading! Going into the long weekend with The Screaming Staircase by Jonathan Stroud. I'm 25% in & enjoying it so far. Next up is The Confectioner’s Guild by Claire Luana. I got it free & I'm hoping I like it enough to buy the boxset. #weekendreading #amreading #books #bookstodon
