A: 😔

Q: is this affiliated with aja/bookshop?

Q: why is membership moderated?
A: so we don't escape containment. only journals that have been active for at least one month will be approved.

A: don't be racist, use your common sense, etc. no wank allowed and that extends to trying to play fandom cop. keep it light, keep it gay

Q: is this only for american politics?
A: nope! while this will naturally skew american due to mod's location, all nations are welcome! want to write about good ol' boris johnson getting hit in the nuts with a soccer ball football? have at it. salivating over what the CCP leadership might get up to behind closed doors? indulge to your hearts' content. anything's fair game as long as you avoid wank&c.

Q: why is this called kevin mccarthy's escape room?
A: GLAD YOU ASKED you can thank american congressman jim mcgovern for that.
“It’s like every room the speaker [Kevin McCarthy] goes into is an escape room,” observed Rep. Jim McGovern (Mass.), the ranking Democrat on the Rules Committee. “He just does whatever he needs to do to get out, even if it means caving to MAGA Republicans every single time.” [washington post]
sounds like a great porn premise to me!
