Write that book. Send that story. Query that agent. Ask for that blurb. Maybe it doesn’t work out, but there’s a chance it will, and that chance—however small you think it is—is all you need.

The perfect ratio of unread books you own to books you should buy is WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO BE BUT BUYING BOOKS IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence.

More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop.

Now.

I think they should nominate Dr Pepper for Surgeon General. It’s time. He’s earned it.
