This is such a lazy piece. It's like "this is a price control, and price controls always fail." First, it's not a price control. It's a government subsidy. Second, price controls don't "always" backfire. They prevent gouging in emergencies and help regulate monopolies.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

#AwesomeCharacters It was Grilled. I mean, obviously. Who else would it be? I don't think I'm worried OR mad, tbh. You know when mom characters say "I'm not angry, just disappointed." Yeah, I'm that mom.

Buckwheat is naturally gluten-free, so soba seems like a safe choice. But most soba in Japan is a blend of buckwheat and wheat flour. Unless it's labeled 100% buckwheat (十割そば, juwari soba), it likely contains gluten.

Traveling to Japan while also wrestling with a gluten allergy? It's tricky but it can be done. Here's what you need to know.

KUDOCHI isn't the only onsen in Tokyo. Toyosu Manyō Club has trucked real hot spring water from Hakone and Yugawara into the city since opening beside Toyosu Market in 2024, a mass-market take on the same "carried water" idea.

Of everyone? That's a headache just thinking about it, but I'll narrow it down to folks in the current WIP's broader setting. Which means Harald. The man is big and beefy, and sometimes that means he can't avoid knocking things over. Lots of things, if he's in a hurry. #AwesomeCharacters

Eloise XD She's the most gremlin character I've put in a published work, and she was probably doing some weird experiment in the kitchen with appliances when something went haywire (literally). Everyone from TaMB and myself groan and advise ordering take-out. #AwesomeCharacters

have been thinking about what snippet to share first for cowboys and djinn (jinni) wip, and here's this one with MCs rafael and rehan...! any other characters are side characters.

I just dug out some stuff and discovered some stuff I didn't realize I still had. Including an old Evangelion planner I bought because Asuka and Rei were getting touchy-feely on the cover.

This is probably the second single longest (in terms of word count) short story collection I've ever written. And it's coming out later this month. Hopefully.

#AwesomeCharacters Thalia first tries figuring out how a typewriter works. Actually, she gives up and starts handwriting in a notebook. Her memoir has doodles in it of her as a big titty muscle woman sleuthing and smooching. Her LIs offer to hire a ghost writer. Thalia laughs at the inside joke.
