After a last minute location change caused by the tragic loss of Bluestockings, I'll be at the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space with two writers I love, Su J. Sokol & Rich Larson, to talk about the role of speculative fiction in social justice organizing (and other fun stuff)!

Happy Pride to the previous owner of my COMPLETE POEMS OF WALT WHITMAN, who wrote GAYS UNITE in very tiny letters in the margin. I've had this book for decades so they might not be alive anymore, but I'm glad they were, and happy to steward their book for whoever ends up with it after my passing.

I can't tell you how badly I needed that.
Grace Jones & Janelle Monáe. Either one of them would be the best show you saw all year. But together? Words fail.
As a friend said afterwards, "we have our blueprint." This is where our hearts (& fists, & feet) need to be in these nightmare times.

Happy Pride ONLY to LGBQIA+ folks who celebrate & defend our trans siblings who are under sustained assault from a massive right wing conspiracy using them as a wedge issue to exterminate us all because don't let the assimilation fool you, they still despise us for daring to be who we are

Among the MANY blessings that FKA Twigs gives us: an incredible series of beautiful tableaux, stories inside images inside songs inside dances. So fortunate to catch her in Prague by total magical coincidence - a magnificent moving concert experience.

Hello from the absurdly photogenic city of Prague! The people (human and otherwise) are so friendly - here I am with a new friend, a cow.
So what's a must-see / must-do in this city??

The French translation of KID WOLF AND KRAKEN BOY took home the ActuSF Award for Alternate History!
I wrote a book about how gay love can change the course of history, & I'm so moved that it resonated with the award jury.

Another incredible honor for the French translation of KID WOLF AND KRAKEN BOY - it's a finalist for the ActuSF Award for Alternate History! I wanted to tell the story of how (gay) love could bend the arc of history toward liberation, and I'm so honored that this vision resonated internationally.

Grateful to the New York Times for running this obituary of my friend and mentor Jean Rice. I don't subscribe so I can't read it but if it captures even a fraction of his wisdom and magnificence, it is well worth your time.
