A "super-spreader" Terrorgram propagandist went by the screen name BTC (short for BanThisChannel).
His real name is Matt Allison, a gay man who was known to his friends in Boise as an easygoing DJ.
Prosecutors say he inspired followers to kill LGBTQ+ people and people of color:

Congress shall make no law… abridging the right to free speech. 1st Amendment, United States Constitution.
Apparently Kootenai Co. Sheriff Noriss doesn’t think that applies to him, nor does he respect the Constitution, nor the Constitutional rights of Idaho Citizens.

“Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.”

I deleted Facebook. Feeling slightly bereft, like I've cut myself loose from a few hundred tethers that were simultaneously holding me back and keeping me grounded. It's weird, but I only see good things coming from it.

I am looking for books that meet ALL the following criteria:
- Queer SFF

- by a BIPOC author
- indie (self-pub or small press)
Self-rec welcome, but I want absolutely ALL FOUR met.

I've had a couple writers recently withdraw immediately saying they signed with another agent, so I thought I'd do a mini chat on what's expected once you receive an offer.
1) thank the offering agent. Let them know you still have materials out and ask for 2 weeks to make your decision.

#EchoesOfWisdom was a fun romp and a perfect first outing for #Zelda as the playable character. It was also a lovely story of an alien and a human who adopt one another. The alien then learns how to emotion. ❤️😭
