Scary Austin

MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social

<p>The Last Rose of Summer is a true story about corruption in <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/cancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cancer</span></a> research. I discovered a cheap, plant-derived drug that could replace some much more toxic (but more lucrative) therapies. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BigPharma" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BigPharma</span></a> got involved and suppressed the research. Eventually I had to publish the story in thinly veiled fiction and survive a bunch of murder attempts.</p><p>&quot;Mary Austin&quot; is a pseudonym, as my publisher forced me to use one. So... hi, I&#39;m &quot;Mary.&quot; 🤷‍♀️</p>

    Yet another #Epstein whistleblower has &quot;committed suicide.&quot; Despite the tremendous psychological toll of fighting power as Simon Andriesz so bravely did, I think we can all agree this stinks to high heaven. https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2026/10/05/epstein-whistleblower-simon-andriesz-dies-after-exposing-lutnick-ties-what-to-know/

    @count_01@mastodon.social @fesshole@mastodon.social I have heard them called the only animal with no haters. I feel obligated to follow all sorts of resister accounts across the US on several platforms, but I would love nothing more than to look at capybaras all day. I guess it doesn&#39;t surprise me that it takes a fascist to be angry about them. My sympathy to the OP.

    #Trump held a rally in Clarksville #Tennessee yesterday. This is deep Trump country-- or at least, it was. He claimed that F&amp;M Bank Arena was full, but this video shows there were whole empty sections. The arena seats up to 6,000 people. #MAGA is on its last gasp.

    RE: https://sfba.social/@sccdp/117422890486495161 This kind of action may not feel like it has a point especially if you live in a red district. But it&#39;s important now and only going to become even more important. As we take down Trump&#39;s mutiny of preverts, the Nazi billionaires will pivot to the Dems they can buy. It&#39;s already happening. That is why the primaries were so important. After we take back Congress we&#39;re gonna have to be all over (some of) these people like a dirty...

    I posted about this before but I&#39;m reposting it because I&#39;m still laughing. Mike Johnson reportedly thinks he is the equal of Moses. Like, how funny would it be if you lived in Shreveport and Mike Johnson is your lawn guy? You could be like, &quot;Hey, you had half the workers kidnapped, but no biggie! You can just strike the lawn with your staff and fix it, right?&quot; https://www.shreveporttimes.com/story/news/2026/10/09/will-speaker-mike-johnson-leave-congress-if-republicans-lose...

    #Ukraine recently took out some Yandex data centers. Apparently this has led to a sharp reduction in Kremlin trolls on social media. I also saw a screen shot from the dead bird site saying the bot traffic is much quieter over there. This could actually affect the US #midterms. And this is one reason I constantly talk about Ukraine. I do it because they deserve all our support, because it&#39;s the opposite of what #Putin wants, and because they are fighting for us all. https://www.reddit.com...

    FUCK YEAH! I filled out my ballot and dropped it off LIKE A BOSS. Every time I do this, I pick a virtual I Voted sticker off the internet and download it as my sticker. This masterpiece is an entry in Kentucky&#39;s 2026 children&#39;s I Voted sticker competition. Suzy H., you NAILED it. Go girl! https://www.sos.ky.gov/civic-initiatives/Pages/i-voted-sticker-contest.aspx

    All right, I&#39;m gonna cheer myself on. So far I have: -taken out the trash and recycling -gone hiking -filled out most of my absentee ballot -asked my protest buddies a couple things about it -helped my neighbor carry 5 gallon water bottles up to the third floor (I got five of them) and I am about to -shower because I smell, and -GO VOTE MY ASS OFF! HELL YEAH THEY STILL HAVE TO LET WOMEN VOTE! ✊🏼

    Many religious groups, notably even the National Association of Evangelicals, are speaking out against public execution, and indeed the death penalty overall. https://religionnews.com/2026/10/09/head-of-u-s-catholic-bishops-conference-condemns-public-execution-plans-as-promoting-a-culture-of-death/

    @Nazani@universeodon.com If they had to live in barracks-like housing, heh, that&#39;d be awesome. THAT&#39;D separate the sheep from the goats. I just object to these people shitting themselves over &quot;DEI ENRICHES US ALL&quot; and taking housing that was meant for military officers. The officers actually earned the right to live there!

    This is really obvious stuff but still hilarious and wonderful to read. To flesh out something the article alludes to, Stephen and Katie Miller fled their home in Arlington VA last year because people chalked the world&#39;s most benign messages on the sidewalk near their home. They moved to a military base because of chalk that read &quot;DEI enriches us all.&quot; They only hang out with a select crowd of fellow Nazis and those people hate them too. 🤣 https://newrepublic.com/post/216472/ste...

    Really good to get numbers on this but I&#39;ve been saying this for months based on what I see in the streets. Trump will try everything to cheat. We know that. But he&#39;s dug too deep a hole to voter suppress or crybully insurrection his way out of it. https://www.alternet.org/trump-midterm-loss-unpopular/ #Trump #Republicans #MAGA #midterms

    #Talarico has been out with the flu for almost two weeks. He&#39;s back. Normal stuff. It&#39;s been hilarious to see Republicans attacking him for this, because they immediately get pummeled for saying nothing about Mitch McConnell or indeed Trump going missing due to obvious ill health/near death experiences. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/6140552-james-talarico-returns-flu-absence-campaign/ #Texas

    All these Nazis are going to be begging for &quot;forgiveness&quot; (i.e. a complete lack of consequences) in the not too distant future. Thillis is doing it now, only because Dear Leader threw him under the bus by endorsing a primary challenger. GOP lame ducks like Thillis can say out loud that Trump is going down. But it doesn&#39;t make them brave or good people. You won&#39;t see me pretending otherwise. https://www.alternet.org/thom-tillis-maga-problem-forgiveness/ https://spectrumlocal...

    OMG 🤣 LOOK AT THIS GUY&#39;S FACE DJ Byrnes is an Ohio political blogger who sent a Shrek dick pic to a Nazi politician. The latter crapped his pants and pressed charges. Byrnes could have faced jail time, but fortunately the judge refused to treat this like it&#39;s the kind of death threats that MAGAs routinely send to Dem politicians. Byrnes&#39; laughter just says it all. https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/10/09/ohio-political-blogger-found-guilty-in-explicit-shrek-meme-trial/ #Ohio #M...

    #Trump buying diesel from #Putin might seem like a win for Putin in the short term. But with many of Russia&#39;s refineries taken out by the war, where does that leave Putin? Russia has actually been importing oil products, which is unheard of. It&#39;s not sustainable to keep exporting diesel to the US when there are already shortages of diesel and regular gasoline in Russia. Sure, Putin needs cash, but like MAGA, Russians who supported him are already angry about gas prices. https://www.pbs....

    I&#39;m seeing national coverage that makes it sound like an #ICE agent was just drunk and sleeping on somebody&#39;s lawn and the homeowner randomly shot him. No, when the &quot;agent&quot; woke up he attacked a 72 year old man. The man&#39;s daughter tried to intervene and the scum assaulted her too. Then the father got a gun and defended his family with it. The woman&#39;s boyfriend is a cop and arrested the ICE agent. #AbolishICE. The agency is this bad on purpose. https://abc30.com/post...

    #Trump was in Syracuse #NewYork yesterday and protestors gave him hell. They blocked his motorcade for a few minutes as he tried to leave. I also saw a video of a brave older woman who was flipping people off at his rally before she got thrown out. https://www.localsyr.com/news/your-local-election-hq/we-need-to-mobilize-and-be-together-protest-organized-in-clinton-square-ahead-of-trumps-visit-to-syracuse/ #50501movement

    I blocked a certain white woman in 2024 because she was one of those anti-voting geniuses who helped cause this shitshow. But I&#39;d still hear about her from people frustrated with her bullcrap. Apparently after she heard that Trump wanted to take away birth control, ALL OF A SUDDEN voting mattered. Nobody else&#39;s rights mattered, but hers sure did! So if you know anybody who somehow still needs a prod... https://www.commondreams.org/news/doj-abortion-midterms #Trump #midterms #healthca...
