If you're spending NY at home or the next day hungover and looking for something to read, this is your reminder that all of my books are available via the Zon. I didn't think I'd be starting 2025 unemployed and needing $600 in transmission repairs so please buy my books!

Anyone else glued to the media today to see if a certain orange cretin did get taken to hospital? Can it just be over already?

Thinking seriously about self-publishing my thriller that's kind of 'Medium meets Dexter' because the thought of agent hunting makes me feel sick and exhausted and publishing on any level is getting competitive in a way I find sort of icky...

The “grab them by the pussy” comment didn’t make you think? The mocking of a disabled journalist? The January 6 coup, which he was CLEARLY responsible for and lied about? The stock market manipulations? Crypto scams? Mocking women journalists with relish at every opportunity? Defunding important government departments and lying about why? Refusing to divest his businesses? Openly giving his children nepotistic positions in his inner circle? The rape allegations? The rape PROSECUTION? The 34 convictions? The rampant, unrepentant fraud? Stealing secret government documents and refusing to return them? Lying about COVID? Lying about Biden? Lying about Harris, and mocking her race? Nah, you didn’t believe him because he was believable, you believed him because you desperately WANTED to believe him, because he vindicated your racism and your hatred. Because you gloried in his lies as long as they weren’t directed at you. And if you’re a qualified journalist, that makes your lack of research, common sense and basic decency even worse. FAR worse. All those Americans now trying to justify their belief in a conman, criminal, racist pedophile rapist are cooked. You people disgust us. There’s no excuse and no way the rest of the world will ever forgive you. FFS.

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore… @barkmeta

The "Headache" that kills in 24 hours.🧵 As a doctor, this is the one diagnosis that genuinely scares me. Bacterial Meningitis doesn't give you days to "wait and see." It gives you hours. By the time you realize it's not just a flu, it’s often too late. 👉Stop scrolling and memorize these 3 clinical red flags: 1. The Fused Neck: This isn't a "stiff muscle" from sleeping wrong. If you have a fever and literally cannot touch your chin to your chest - that is Nuchal Rigidity. It’s an emergency. Period. 2. The "Glass Test" Rash: If you see tiny purple pin-pricks on the skin, press a clear glass firmly against them. If the spots don't fade/disappear under the glass, your blood is leaking. That’s Septicemia. Run to the ER. 3. Agonizing Photophobia: It’s not just "bright lights are annoying." It’s a physical, painful wince at a smartphone screen or a bedside lamp. 👉How to actually stay safe? 1. Mask up in crowds: It’s a respiratory drop infection. If there’s an outbreak in your school/hostel, a mask is your best friend. 2. Stop sharing everything: Vapes, spoons, water bottles, cigarettes. If their saliva is on it, the bacteria is on it. 3. Hygiene: Wash your hands like your life depends on it. 4. Vaccines: Check your records for MenACWY/MenB when you have a minute. It’s the ultimate insurance policy.

@Thermobolic My husband's family says I love you at the end of every phone call. It was weird to me but it's always the last thing they say to each other if anything bad happens.

When I was 18 I was picking my friend up from his parents house to head out for the night. I witnessed him saying bye to his dad. His dad gave him a side hug, kissed him on the forehead, told him he loved him and to be safe. That moment has stuck with me all these years later. His dad was a cop and a masculine man. My friend was very masculine. Yet, they shared a loving goodbye. This was something I had never experienced or even witnessed myself. At the time, i thought it was weird and maybe felt a little jealous, but that one moment changed my entire perspective on what a father-son relationship could, and probably should, look like. A masculine man can still be loving, gentle and kind. In a way, I think being able to show affection without embarrassment makes a man even more masculine.

@notryance @Plotwist_ing Definitely sounds like you're hating just a bit. Derision maybe. Sometimes some of us write what we want AND what sells. Audiences want smut, romantasy, escapism. I'm also writing crime but in this awful time for most of the world, it's a harder sell...

@Plotwist_ing I know. I'm not hating on people who enjoy/write those genres or stories.

Do people actually write books they enjoy anymore or is it just what's trending? Everything's romantasy or smut. Where's the writers of thrillers and mysteries, crimes and literary fiction, or essayists? Are we a near-extinct breed or just hiding/absent from social media?

Started writing my next crime novel tonight. 6 days on HRT and is it possible my brain fog is lifting?

Not my daughter acting like I have no idea what impossible periods feel like. She's stage 2 endo, I was stage 4 by 29 and required a hysterectomy. I know. I KNOW!

Conversations in our house today went like this. Husband: what should I do with this cow skull? Me: maybe throw it out? I heard a horror story about it and then today I saw a ghost cat so...

Almost ten years of rejections, but now my eighth novel is an instant New York Times bestseller. Forever grateful. Never. Stop. Believing. In. Yourself.

@CrazyVibes_1 I got a nasty email about my Daughter's attendance in her final year of school even though she had major surgery and then glandular fever. I lost my shit big time!

The school nurse called me at 10 AM: 'Your son has lice. You need to pick him up immediately, and he cannot return until he is nit-free.' Okay, fine. I picked him up. We spent three days doing the treatments, combing, washing every sheet in the house. It was a nightmare. He went back to school clean. Two days later, I got a letter threatening legal action for '3 Unexcused Absences.' I went to the office. 'You ordered me to keep him home! You said he wasn't allowed in the building!' The clerk shrugged. 'Lice isn't a medical emergency, so it counts against his allowable days.' So let me get this straight: He’s banned from entering, but punished for not being here? Make it make sense.

Sounds like you have no idea what Zionism is, Nick. Here's a brief history, which will help you understand why there is so much hostility to Zionism. Zionism was an ideology that said, let's create a Jewish state in a country that's 97%+ non-Jewish. That's why, when Zionists bought land in Palestine from the 1900s-1948, they uprooted the people living on the land because they weren't jewish. That's why, when Zionists created cooperatives in Palestine in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s, they insisted on "Hebrew Labor", i.e., "Jews only" -- no Arabs allowed. That's why, in the 1930s, Zionists expelled Palestinian Arabs from working at Jewish companies and business. Jews only! jstor.org/stable/10.1525… That's why, in 1948, Zionists militias ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians from their homes. archive.org/details/birtho… That's why, from 1949-1956, Israeli forces shot & killed b/w 2,700-5,000 overwhelmingly unarmed Palestinians trying to return to their homes after the war. Because they were the wrong religion/ethnicity (archive.org/details/israel… p.416). That's why Israel expelled another ~30-40,000 Palestinians from Israel from 1949-1959. palestinenexus.com/articles/israe… That's why Israel expelled another ~250,000 Palestinians from Gaza & the West Bank when it occupied those territories in 1967. That's why Israel continued to expel Palestinians from the occupied territories from 1968-1993, many hundreds of thousands of them. They had the wrong DNA. palestinenexus.com/articles/israe… The Zionist movement set out to build a Jewish state with a Jewish majority working at Jewish-only cooperatives living in Jewish-only colonies owned by Jewish-only land authorities operating Jewish-only schools in a country of ninety-five percent Palestinian Arabs. What could possibly go wrong? That's why Israel has become such a pariah state over the years, because it's insistence on Jewish rule in a country with so many Palestinians. That's why Zionism has led Israel to become an apartheid state, according to every relevant human rights organization ( @ICAHD in 2010, @UNESCWA in 2017, @YeshDin in 2020, @AdalahCenter in 2020, @btselem in 2021, @hrw in 2021, @fidh_en in 2021, @alhaq_org in 2022, @Addameer in 2022, @AlMezanCenter in 2022, @cacalqudsuni in 2022, @AdvocacyJlac in 2022, @miftahpal in 2022, @ICJ_org in 2022, @DAWNmenaorg in 2022, @amnesty in 2022), since it cannot grant the ~5-6 million occupied Palestinians Israeli citizenship. Israel chose apartheid and Jewish supremacy over democracy. Zionism also explains why Israel is now committing genocide (according to @amnesty , @hrw , @btselem , @MSF , IAGS, @alhaq_org , @UNHumanRights , @UN_HRC , @pchrgaza , @AlMezanCenter , @WarOnWant , @PHRIsrael , @fidh_en , PHROC, @LemkinInstitute , @theCCR , @ECCHRBerlin , @unitedforrights @JURDIasso , @TheElders , @Oxfam), because, what a Zionist dream it would have been had Palestine been a land without any people on it! the ideology incentivized genocide. If you'd like to learn more about Zionism, I teach courses on the subject here: palestinenexus.com/courses Educate yourself Nick.

Every woman I know in her 40s or 50s is cooler, hotter, wiser, and more badass than she was in her 20s and 30s. The anti-aging industry is lying to you. Don’t let them exploit your insecurities to sell you shit you don’t need for problems you don’t have.

Zionist lobby groups: If we give an Indigenous Voice to Parliament it will be divisive. If we don't give a Zionist voice to Parliament it will be antisemitic. #auspol

@gator_gum ICE is attacking our teenagers now. How do we protect our kids from our government?

I've got tattoo balm on my new tattoo plus aftersun on my sunburned shoulders (only 20minutes outside!!) so I smell so weird! Like aloe and off aloe haha. My senses do not like it!

Spent the day with my husband telling me what I do and don't want in a new car and I'm feeling particularly stabby about it. I want what I want for all of my own reasons and that should be enough but the patriarchy runs in his blood a little too strong 😡
