Almost halfway through Monster, She Wrote: The Women Who Pioneered Horror & Speculative Fiction by Lisa Kröger and Melanie R. Anderson. Love it, especially after reading The Bewitching.

I have a knack of discovering things. Tuesday I walked for a mile+ in hopes of seeing the sun set behind the mountains and ended up at restaurant perfect for my husband.
Today I decided to turn left before the gps wanted me to and found an art supply store that hadn’t come up when I searched.

Read two books so far this week. The first is The Second Chance Convenience Store by Kim Ho-Yeon, translated by Janet Hong.
Adored the heck out of it. A book of connection from a time of isolation. <3

Nina was criminally underrated. Look at those pages! She was superior to many better known male hacks of the Golden Age.
She quit comics in 1950 just as the witch hunts heated up. Smart move. As I recall she was a magazine illustrator after that, which was a much better, and better paying career.

Today is the birthday of comic book artist Nina Albright (Feb. 15, 1907-Feb. 7, 1997). She worked for a number of companies during the Golden Age, including Fiction House, Timely/Marvel, St. John, & Archie.

Also, if you're concerned about personal safety:
History shows that, under fascism, staying passive comes with no better odds of survival than engaging in civil, covert, or even military resistance. So you might as well resist in whatever way your skills, age, ability,.and conscience permit.

There is always something you can do to gum up the works of fascism.
A story. Claude Cahun. The queer nonbinary French-Jewish photographer.
Nazis conquered France, were training soldiers on Jersey, where Cahun lived w/their partner, Marcel Moore.
They did disinfo & morale smashing via Surrealism.

I know it’s overwhelming at the moment. Remember each of you are a member of the resistance.
Don’t comply in advance.
Existing. Persisting. Those are acts of rebellion.

On senators falling in line because of death threats:
My mom worked as a cook at a hospital where abortions are performed. People regularly tried to shoot her for "killing babies". She still went and did her job because it needed doing and she had agreed to do it. That's how it works.

I got death threats for accurately describing GamerGate. I kept going with my work, despite the fact that I never had access to either the wealth or the elaborate security protocols of a United States Senator.
Gillibrand on WNYC today said one reason they're all falling in line is that they get death threats.
cassidy changing his tune after what he said on the senate floor is what has upgraded my position from "they are being bribed" or "they are worried about primary challenges" to "they are worried about being murdered"

My husband was listening to an Adam Ragusea podcast today and they were talking about D&D. It was super interesting hearing them notice some of the things many of us fought hard for, like not having entire groups be auto evil.

Okay attempt two. My sister (who sings beautifully) is recording my poem "The White Minority's Lament", which I wrote in response to my parents' gay neighbor having Trump signs in his yard. In honor of this honor, I'm gonna share it. I was really up in my "First They Came" feels that day (Halloween)

As a Black person living in "my America", I am outraged about this video! Why do others promote the idea that Black people are thieves? These young were helping their sister move belongings from her burning house! It's shameful how evil people can be! There is a day of accountability coming!
Because they’re Black, they must be looting? This isn’t an honest mistake.
Spread truth, not lies: These folks weren’t looters. This footage is from KTLA, where the homeowner explained that her brothers & friends were helping her move belongings out of her burned house.
