I'm going to sound like the biggest hater & loser in the world and I know we must do our political performance but the "look at my war ravaged Portland" photos especially from politicians are getting a little 😬 when we have crisis levels of people without housing including unknown numbers of kids

This is my local indie! They supported Company multiple times (events for my hardcover and paperback books, plus an Indie Next rec) and are just all around wonderful.
If you’re buying a book, always order through an indie! If you don’t have your own, go through @loyaltybooks.bsky.social:

"Liz."
"I owe him an apology don't I?"

OK this sucks and @erininthemorning.com does good work but please read her prose, not just her map. At least some pink/ orange states still provide gender affirming care for youth: they're pink because some providers no longer offer it. At least one state AG (Nessel, MI) has sued to restore it.
This shit sucks man. Medically proven and effective treatment that would save trans youth a lifetime of pain and discomfort in their own bodies thrown in the trash because our country enables the most evil people imaginable.

I don't want to know sales figures while promoting a new book. I'll be giving the same 110 percent regardless and the benefits of the PR you do aren't just reflected in sales. There are strategic goals for your career that may be almost as important. Nor can your efforts be easily quantified anyway.

Very much like the demonstrations in Portland during the first term.
The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

Holy Fuck!!!! When Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa was confronted at a town hall by terrified constituents worried that Trump’s healthcare cuts will lead to death, she said “Well, we are all gonna die.”
I hope Iowans vote her callous, cruel ass out of the Senate!!!!

So excited for this one!
I’ve got news! My third poetry collection, DEAR MOTHERSHIP, is forthcoming from Ecco in 2026. I wrote this book through grief, lapses in faith, career highs, bouts of disillusionment with the world, & a hard-fought rediscovery of joy. I’m so excited to share it with you!
