I am 100% opposed to these laws because in all cases they are used to pressure disabled people to die. Because that's cheaper than providing the supports they need to live. It happens in Canada with MAID, it happens in Oregon, it will happen in Illinois.

To publishers, authors, & others posting about illustrated books, including covers that have illustration: Please credit the ILLUSTRATOR.

This not only helps boost the illustrator, but also shows that you value HUMAN illustrators.

Large blue text reads, “Why do so many book people keep forgetting to credit illustrators?” Beside the text, a roundish blue winged horse contains the text “#Pictures Mean Business.” At the bottom is the credit: “Illustration: Sarah McIntyre along with a website link.

Perfect read for Halloween!

On Halloween I'm doing a liveread of @tkingfisher.com's WHAT FEASTS AT NIGHT.

This is the second novella in the Sworn Soldiers series and came out in 2024. Mute or unfollow if you don't want spoilers or anything to do with the fungus among us.

Testing Fat Patients' Patience

Read more cartoons! ---> #PoliCartoon

#FatAcceptance
TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON This cartoon has four panels. PANEL 1 The panel shows a doctor, with thick-framed glasses, neat shoulder-length white hair, and holding a clipboard, in an examining room talking to a patient. The patient is wearing striped pants and a square-collar short sleeved blouse, and has her dark hair in a bun. The patient is sitting on one of those patient examination tables they have in doctors’ offices. The patient is using her right hand to hold out her left arm, which is not connected to her body, to show it to the doctor. Important: The doctor is thin, the patient is fat. The doctor is calm; the patient is also calm, but also concerned. DOCTOR: Hi, I’m doctor Douglas. What seems to be the problem? PATIENT: I woke up this morning and my arm had fallen off. PANEL 2 The doctor, still speaking calmly, is looking down at the patient’s body. The patient, still holding her detached left arm in her right hand, looks a bit annoyed. DOCTOR: Hmmmm…. First thing, let’s get you on a diet. PATIENT: A diet? To reconnect my arm? PANEL 3 A shot from behind the doctor, looking over the doctor’s shoulder at the patient. The patient is now quite angry, raising her voice. DOCTOR: Your weight is the real issue here… How many times a day do you eat fast food? PATIENT: I’M HERE ABOUT MY ARM! PANEL 4 The doctor, now alone, sits at a desk in an office (desk lamp, degree on wall, books on a shelf). The doctor is typing on a laptop, and looks peeved. Above her, we see words in the air showing what she’s typing. DOCTOR (writing on laptop): “Patient was uncooperative…”

Cover reveal for PARANORMAL PAYBACK, an anthology of urban fantasy revenge tales from a supremely badass lineup! My story features the Polish coven throwing down in Warsaw—lots of Polish peeps helped to get it right! You can (and hopefully will?) preorder now from your favorite vendor! Out in April.
The cover art for Paranormal Payback, which is mostly a palette of purples, featuring a man and a woman with glowing eyes instead of your normal pupils. The woman has fangs and the dude is holding a summoned mage light in his left hand.

Preorders are still open for the Cat Royalty medals, and also for the campaign exclusive medals for the Exorcism Engines and Entertainment in Londinium releases. I've also listed a few leftover items from earlier campaigns, but they're going fast!

If you find yourself in a situation where you sense someone needs help and you'd like to intervene, Gabriela Mejia, a former training and communications associate with the anti-harassment training organization Right to Be, has some advice.
COMIC: How to intervene when someone is harassed or attacked : Life Kit
What would you do if you saw someone being harassed on the bus or attacked in broad daylight? Most of us would like to think we know how we'd respond, but intervening in dangerous situations is easier said than done. Here's how to step in.

Just noticed some tasty pricing on The Violence at Amazon, if you haven't read that one yet.
Or you can order it from your local indie or bookshop.org or borrow it from your library!
This is a screenshot from Amazon, the Evil Empire, showing The Violence at $10.97 for the hardcover, $4.99 for the ebook, or $6.95 for the audiobook. The author hates that she must call attention to The Bad Place, but this is the barrel over which traditionally published authors are splayed. You can also request it from your indie bookseller, buy it from bookshop.org, or borrow it from your library/Hoopla/Libby.

I am in the middle of this book and am loving it! I agree with the reviewer that the two points of view works very well.

Just finished listening to @tkingfisher.com 's A Sorceress Comes to Call read by @jenwrenpickens.bsky.social and Eliza Foss. Having the book split between two readers worked well as we hear it from the two quite different points of view. It is another great novel. us.macmillan.com/books/978125...
