For anyone interested in an unhinged gay romantasy with plenty of plot and character development, check out The Mosquito’s Sting. This book was so fun to write (Ruin and Tobiah are ridiculous) and I’m working on the sequel. ♥️

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?
If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?
Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

We’re protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility and an agent came out to tell us to go away.
We said we’re exercising our First Amendment rights so he shot the ground with pepper balls and said, “Your First Amendment rights are on the sidewalk.”

My sister, a kindergarten teacher, had to sit down and walk 18 5-year-olds through a shooter lockdown drill today & is currently navigating the emotional weight of that, but, sure, let's scold people for not mourning the loss of a guy who publicly said their deaths would be an ok trade for his guns.
