So I wrote two books. both are set in London, in winter, in 2021. One is an alternate future history, a sparse love story where a spad and civil servant work on Brexit together and fall unwillingly in love; the other is a sports anime, a post-pandemic f/f romance. here they both are:

pls read this thread. this is literally something any of us can do, and it matters so much. if you want a little structure & guidance, look up @indivisible.org’s One Million Rising materials. But you can also just… invite some friends over.
I would like to share something.
A year ago, Trump won and I was furious and scared so I sent a text to a few of local women I knew and asked them to join me at a meeting and invite like-minded women they knew. A few showed up, then a few more. We became a group called The Salon and we meet monthly

Since we're talking about AI art again, here is my periodic recommendation thread of art supplies for the adult beginner.
This is my under $20 Blick pick. The brush is quite snappy and ideal for someone who has never used a brush before. The paper is cellulose but quite good.

Intelligence Community Demolishes Trump’s Venezuelan ‘Invasion’ Claims In Record Time… Almost Like They Want Us To Know He’s Lying
The Intelligence Community just demonstrated, in spectacular fashion, exactly how badly Donald Trump and his ODNI chief Tulsi Gabbard misrepresented the laughable supposed "invasion" of the US by Venezuelan gangs. And they did it by responding to a Freedom of Information Act request in what may be record time — just six business days. For context: FOIA requests typically languish for months or years.

Noting here that marches & rallies are *demonstrations* not direct action. They demonstrate a snapshot of public support, and the hard right has figured out they can ignore demonstrations, because too many people think the demonstration is the point, get their yayas out, and stop paying attention.
I think people feel exhausted in advance because we’ve trained ourselves to think marches and rallies are the only way to fight, when in fact there are much quieter, more effective, and less exhausting ways to fight - like not conceding in advance, and not panic-sharing stuff without vetting
