I know I'm late on this, but this is infuriating.
1) We need to support indie book publishers and self-publishers who are releasing LGBTQ books.
2) Keep buying ALL the LGBTQ books. Make sure these chicken-shit spineless publishers lose all the money for this decision.

"Journalist" @taylorlorenz.bsky.social is blocking people on Twitter for calling out her AI use (including me lmao) so I'm using my one chance here before she blocks me to call her out for it. Loser behavior, do better, etc. 😘

One of my friends read an ARC of my book and proceeded to dream up fanfic of it in the shower, which is the highest praise anyone could ever give me 🤩

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO
this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

My mom just noted that ICE is rapidly escalating their violence and I said to her what I will say to you which is that they are doubling down because this tactic is all they have. They are wildly unpopular, they have no real plan to offer people, all they can do is try to bully us into submission.

I was puzzled for a moment about why DHS would release the phone footage from the murderer's point of view, since it clearly shows that the murderer was in no danger from the victim.

As I was making my kids breakfast this morning, I was overcome with rage that the man who murdered Renee Good went home to his family last night and her six year old is waking up this morning without a mother.
