As a new executive order concerning education comes into effect today, I want to see every single publishing imprint hauling ass getting diverse books printed. I’m so serious, they better double their marginalized authors.

Look at this mess and tell me we don’t need diverse books to educate.

What if there were zodiac signs but for moon phases? And the tide levels also affected your chart? And this combination of lunar house & tidal alignment gave you a particular magical power?

I wrote that in CURIOUS TIDES. You can take a quiz to find out yours: simonteen.com/p/curious-ti...

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

If you've, at any point, said you support trans people and our right to exist, great, now is when you put your money where your damn mouth it.

Support our fundraisers. Give us jobs. Hire trans writers. Trans artists. Defend us when we're attacked. It's not hypothetical anymore, don't be a coward.

One of the things we should be prepared to see more of? Parents being robbed of their choices for their own children, under the argument that if they were going to choose access to LGBTQ+ content/inclusion they weren't fit to make those choices at all.

That's the argument one lib board makes here.

Hi #booksky! If you’re looking for dark fantasy books set at a magical college w/ secret societies, drowned students washing up on shore (alive?), and a fun magic system based on moon phases, let me direct you to the Drowned Gods trilogy.

First 2 books, CURIOUS TIDES & STRANGER SKIES, are out now!

A German citizen on Tiktok warns US users about the similarities between Hitler’s rise to power & Trump’s collision with Tiktok, goes viral, then when her prophecy comes true, the video is removed for community guidelines violation.

Draw your own conclusions.

Respectfully & from the bottom of my heart, if you think anything in the world could justify this, you’re a monster or an idiot or some impressive combination of both.
Razed to dust, this is what Israel's apocalyptic erasure of Northern Gaza looks like. Palestinians are "returning" to nuclear-scale desolation.
