Autistic writer, books distributor, beagle fan, autodidact, parenting doula, and anti-genocide for any reason.
I attended my local #NoKingsDay march and wrote about it because documentation is important!
Also, planning for what to do next is important and I wrote about that as well.

What's happening is a technocratic coup. Illegal? Yes. That doesn't mean it isn't happening. Nor does it mean we currently possess means to stop it. Nonetheless, those with power must try. So far, most aren't.

StoryGraph is fantastic! Highly recommend!
Also, remember to buy off the shelf or special order your books from local indie stores and pay with cash if you don't want anyone tracking what books you're purchasing 👍🏻

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

We have to move beyond tired notions of politics and grasp that unchecked capitalism has led to oligarchs co-opting our government in order to cement their control, line their pockets, demolish democracy, and crater our standard of living.

I haven't used this much, but I suspect I'll begin using it more now.
As stressful as the US election results are, I'm relieved to see more folks finally critiquing the Dems. Ignoring issues does not make them disappear.
May we do better as we move into the future.

Full sequence of the annular solar eclipse at Shiprock, New Mexico. This was a dream composition of mine. So much time, energy, and money went into making it happen. I'm forever grateful to the Navajo for letting me shoot it from sacred ground. An experience I'll never forget.

Hate crimes aren’t an answer to genocide anymore than genocide is an answer to terrorism. Violence doesn’t build peace
