MANIFEST DESTINY is about love and resistance in an authoritarian post-apocalyptic United States.

It will be the last fiction I publish under my old pen name, and it's coming out SEPTEMBER 12. Mark your calendars (or hit me up for an ARC if you're so inclined).
A book cover: A man and woman, seen from behind, hold hands while facing a squad of armed soldiers wearing gas masks. All is in greytones, except for wispy flames that swirl up from the road in front of them. Title: MANIFEST DESTINY

jason momoa made public rape jokes and it didn’t stop him from being a face of DC but gretchen refuses to mourn a man who literally worked to kill her and they try to take away her livelihood. this is how transmisogyny operates.

Today we remember 11 September 1973, where Chile’s democratically elected Allende govt. was overthrown in a military coup backed by Washington and facilitated by Australia’s intelligence services.

The result was Pinochet’s dictatorship that killed and tortured thousands.

I am sincerely hands and knees begging people to do this.

The existential threat is getting pretty immense and it's not slowing down, not with the gov't *openly stating* that "consensual porn" is in the crosshairs.

*Please* call. Please write physical letters. Please keep the pressure on.

This is one of those things btw where calling/mailing VISA et al and being as willfully dense as possible is an amazingly good idea.

Without comment:
Oct 12, 2022 - Screen grab of a tweet from Jason Campbell: Still from the Charlie Kirk show Charlie speaking. Underneath the quote from Charlie reads a quote from Charlie’s broadcast that day: “I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage.”

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.
Side-by-side images of Banksy’s mural on the Royal Courts of Justice in London. On the left, the artwork appears faded and scrubbed, leaving only a ghostly outline of a judge raising a gavel over a protester holding a placard. On the right, the mural is fully visible in sharp black and white stencil, showing a judge in a traditional white wig and robes striking down at a protester who defends himself with a bloodied sign.

Easily the most serious charges to get no true billed so far during the federal surge.

#Septopolis 8

Rama was founded by some of the first humans to harness the magic of fire. While a few communities had existed south of the glacier, they made the permanent settlement of Rama possible--and started the chain of events leading to the birth of the Empire.

Since this might have been inadvertently covered yesterday... Who specifically were the founders? Maybe some history on them or the legend surrounding a hero.

Take yesterday's specific why to a specific who. 😅

Build a new place or talk about one you have. Make friends. The background features a third of the monthly card’s image, a slightly blurred and purple hued image of a set photograph of Main Commercial Street in Fritz Lang's Metropolis (UFA, 1927).

What this should prompt is a thorough reflection of what the label “criminal” actually means to the government versus what people think it means.

Because people think it means “violent felon” but the reality is if you got a traffic violation you are in the system.

I had nearly made my way past the mushroom fields and food clutches that ring the settlement’s southern void by the time I realized she had not followed—and that I had left my canteen behind. Near the edge of a potato field I found a squat trough of water leaned against a row of stunted grapevines, one of Baltigai’s failed experiments. I paused to drink and stripped to wipe the dust and guilt from my body under the glow of a flickering lifelamp. At the time I could not recognize it for what it was: a simulacrum of the twilit glow that late autumn rainclouds give to Raylian pastures.

Winter (really Winterset, the two-month-long polar night that encompasses much of the empire) is a sacred season in Rama. In other cultures the emphasis is on conserving food and minimizing waste through the long months of frost. But in Rama, thanks to the ancient alchemy 1/3 #SeptemberWorldbuilders

📚💙
The sunrise wasn’t visible from the wharf. It faced south, the Sulfur Cliffs standing east, but dawn’s lazy velvet light crept over the bluffs and stretched across the water. Port Pell was yawning to life, the brief respite of the small hours spent, and a red ship was docked at its largest pier. Arin breathed in the briny air. A gull called over the horizon. But her tired eyes closed with the lift of her chin as she inhaled.

Another snip from Riyana's short story (going out on sub today or tomorrow).

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #amwriting #fantasy #darkfantasy #weirdfiction
We talked for long hours about the war, and the rumors that emeralds had been found to the west, some larger than a newborn aurochs. I was tired by the time the subject turned to you, and I was subjected to that grasping curiosity that those pregnant must endure. The “How far along are you?” and the impertinent questioning of gender. I stretched myself out on the couch while your father threw open the back door to the brisk twilight air. He told us a story then, or rather, several stories, of his last assignment. I have certainly forgotten or distorted many of their details over time, though it was not even a decade ago. Many more, to be sure, were lost and changed in the same way in your father's memory. In the north they have a saying about death, and about remembrance: In time we each become the lies of others.
