If it's Newsom vs JD Vance in the 2028 general election (God forbid!), then, yeah, I'll pick the one who isn't Vance. But it's fucking 2026! Do I have to resign myself to a choice between shitty and much shittier already? Or are you saying Newsom is inevitable, like Andrew Cuomo last year in NYC?
Answer me this:
You have to choose between Gavin Newsom and Trump or some MAGA chump. No other options. If you're really saying that you wouldn't vote for Newsom in that situation, you're not smart enough do what's best for all Americans. Especially trans people.
You need to think strategically.

Have you seen the world? It's hard to do the publicity part of my job when everything's on fire. But this IS part of my job. Art makes survival easier; humans need stories. Let me tell you stories. Please.

This. It's OK if your writing doesn't save lives. It's OK if your writing only saves you.
If you're a writer, wondering why you should bother writing with the world on fire. It feels like it's not important, I need you to understand that it is.
Even if it is just because it keeps you moving forward? Even if it only brings YOU joy, that gives you energy to fight & survive.

#Booksky HUGE thank you shoutout to you lovely folks shopping from our website! We still need to sell 7 of the Astreiant omnibus and/or 15 other books to hit this particular goal, if anyone else would like some excellent queer books this weekend!
#Booksky Not unrelated, if we sell 11 copies of THE COMPLETE ASTREIANT from our webstore or 20 of our other titles, I can actually pay myself this month, which would be super handy right now. We invest in our local communities! #Minneapolis #smallbiz
