Need an ADHD heroine who has to BE OUTSIDE to think? How about a neurotypical hero who thinks she is too small to be out climbing in the Alps?

Shout out to the Denver Tool Library because this WOULD have cost me $5000 to make if I had to buy all the tools for it, but instead I paid $150 for a membership and borrowed six separate saws (depending on what you count as a saw), two sanders, and everything from tile trowels to squeezy clamps.

These bundles are amazing, and supporting them would mean more money in the pockets of queer creators!
It's the last day of #PrideMonth and I would once again like to talk about the itchio bundles we put together for #PrideBookFair.
I put a lot of time into organizing these with Cara Nox, gathering 100+ authors and creating both a big bundle and smaller one, ALL QUEER BOOKS.

It’s been a minute Skyfriends. But I have been in the woods and then at the #HNSVegas conference, which was really fun. Anyone who writes historical fiction would have an absolute blast. Here is me and other Paper Lantern Writers, Ana Brazil and Vanitha Sankaran.

What is this? It’s a threat to all employees.
It sure looks like the EO is trying to give OPM the authority to determine any employee’s suitability.
That is- if OPM deems an employee as not suitable they could make employment decisions without following civil service protections and due process.

They used seven of my books. I posted on the Meta platforms too, saying that I never authorized this, and if my intellectual property is helping train AI, then I should be getting paid what they pay their software engineers.
Today, @theatlantic.com published a search tool that allows authors to check if their works are in LibGen, an illegal pirate site AI companies copied for their AI systems.

@washingtonpost.com They were not DEPORTED. Deported means sending them back to their country of origin. These people were sent to a maximum security prison in El Salvador, without any due process or any analysis as to whether they feared harm in El Salvador!
In America, EVERYONE has a RIGHT to due process - regardless of immigration status. It’s fundamental to our Constitution.
Deporting hundreds of people in secret by invoking a wartime proclamation is a blatant abuse of power by President Trump.
