Spent the morning with a writer/environmentalist/social justice friend, walking the bike paths of Boulder, drinking coffee and considering how to communicate the story of environmentalism and climate change effectually in the US.

We decided on MEGA, cus obvs.

Had lunch at Hodad’s in Ocean Beach. I’ve featured this icon of a burger joint in a novel and at least three short stories, so you’d think they would’ve covered our meal. 😅

Hey everyone. Sorry to be asking with things the way they are , but the power steering pump is almost dead on our car and it’s going to cost around $1000 to fix. It’s an older Mazda and it’s tucked into the most awkward place ever! And it’s original to the car. IYKYK. WD-40 going to make a fortune.

There is no opposition party in the United States. Any official resistance is performative.

Guess if Dems cave, we’ll be marching against both parties soon. Long overdue, actually.

I just called @schumer.senate.gov & left a message saying I didn’t march with 7 million Americans against Trump, his administration, and his racist, horrendous mandates or help hand Dems a landslide in election victories DAYS ago by voting for Prop 50 for him to cave to Republicans.

The latest review of On Fire and Under Water and its one hell of a ringing endorsement! From the incredibly-talented, Anthony Award winner Holly West at that.
“Best Anthology of the Year.”
