If I punch someone and say I was petting them, the police report would still call it a punch.
The media needs to stop referring to kidnappings and trafficking as deportations. Regardless of what the administration says.

A portrait of the author on a rock. And a reminder of my post-apoc, environmental, queer family story.

A few brief moments of appreciation for all the vast and varied life in the desert.

I have to say I was skeptical, but watching tRump’s plan to rid the world of billionaires go into full swing is exciting!
Wait. You’re telling me that companies WON’T reduce CEO wages or reduce profit margins to eat these tariffs? Well, damn.
At least their stock options are safe….
Oh….

If I’m trying to bright side it (hard to do, I know) at least the public gets to see Rep policies play out in real time vs the slow crawl of public speak/backroom watering-down we normally see….

This song should not still be relevant.
But Pavlov still hits me with more bad news every time I look at my phone.
“The goons have gone global
& the CEOs are shredding files
& the Democrins & the Republicrats
Are flashing their toothy smiles”
Fuck. I want to quote the whole damn thing.

During the #amazonboycott, don’t forget, readers, that it’s okay to support indie authors.
Meanwhile, #indieauthors, do the work to give your readers options to access your work outside of the big A. There are some great options out there that don’t line bezo’s pockets.

I gotta say, I’m loving BlueSky! But not having the reach of that other place plus refusing to spend money on ads there, I’ve noticed a decline in sales for my recent release. Books 1&2 did great! Book 3 is, well, floundering.
How are my other #indieauthors reaching readers in this brave new world?

Finished the 1st draft of HEX’d Book 4 today, a few short weeks after Book Three’s release.
As I give it time to breathe before diving into the edits pre sending it off to the editor, do I:
1) Get back to work on my literary WIP that’s been languishing in the background
2) Nosedive into Book 5
