Who is The Harbinger?

The prologue to the Worldsoul Saga arrives on May 7 with Dark Heart.

Me: I'm watching Glee, it's fantastic
Husband: Yeah?
Me: He starts an a cappella group named a cafellas
Husband: ...
Me: Because they're fellas. In an a cappella group.
Husband: OK but just so we're clear I am not watching this with you

But they want us to trust a known anti-abortionist who promises she won't do anything to interfere with abortion rights if we just give her the power she's been desperately after, honest.

It's not Kate Forbes' Christianity that people object to, it's her incredibly outdated views on abortion, gay marriage, and sex that people object to

my entire life i’ve listened to people say “women are too emotional” “women aren’t fit to lead” “women don’t belong in the military” “women shouldn’t vote”

never not once did i hear SOME women

You do not have the right to cite your religious beliefs to defend your political positions from scrutiny, and if the former are determining parts of your public policy on private morality, that is information the rest of us are perfectly entitled to deem politically relevant.

Were they wrong on Vietnam? No. Were they wrong on South Africa? No. Were they wrong on Iraq? No. They won’t be wrong on Israel, either. Signed, A Historian.

It’s being gutted. One wonders if any union leaders might actually show their teeth over this, having been sold the “New Deal” in exchange for quiescence over the last few years.
