Pre-order a signed copy of my awesome second novel, Carcrash Parker and the Haven of Larpers by June 17th through my webstore to support me as an indie author (rather than buying through the big retailers...), PLUS choose an optional set of five 4"x6" postcards!

Undocumented workers are bad, so let’s have teenagers replace them working overnight so they can fall asleep in school, because who needs education when they can work for sweatshop wages?

“The reason you should care about this is not that it could happen to you but that it is already happening to others.”
People love to throw around Nazi comparisons, but what Trump is doing right now is terrifyingly similar to what Storm Troopers did in Germany in May 1933

Today my 8YO started telling me excitedly about “non-berry” people. She informed me:
- it’s wrong to call them “he” or “she” because they use them/they pronouns
- They’re not boys or girls
- They have a flag and it’s gray and purple and yellow and white
- they all believe in ghosts

While those people in Washington are destroying the government, can they also get rid of daylight savings time? I’d actually be in favor of that.

Your periodic reminder that, 150 years ago, a desire to read fiction was considered both a sign of mental illness in women and a symptom of it.
The groups devoted to banning some books because they're "immoral", "obscene", etc. are just growths from the same bad root.
