Thanks for sharing on a deeply personal experience that is (for many) awkward to approach (fear of saying the wrong thing, mostly). I'll keep this in mind talking to you or family I have undergoing or recently finished w/ chemo. I am overjoyed to know you're here & living w/ eagerness & curiosity.

Full disclosure, Trump Admin plans to misappropriate most IMLS funds for "Freedom Trucks" (patriotic propaganda, akin to Smithsonian changes). bookriot.com/imls-freedom... PLEASE keep speaking up for IMLS anyway? It will be easier to fix how it's been abused than to bring it back from elimination. 😬

This week, the IMLS announced their Freedom Trucks initiative. It is blatant propaganda.

Well said, as ever! I have followed your socials since seeing you at ConFusion circa 2017 or 2018 & buying your cool urban fantasy about fey in Hollywood, BORDERLINE. I will keep you in my thoughts during your chemo treatment & recovery. You are strong, you are wise, & you've got this. 💙

So sorry to hear you & your family keep enduring brutal harassment. I was impressed how calmly & decisively you handled an incident at ConFusion where someone tried to send an unwanted delivery. I just ordered a copy of THE ARK and am keeping an eye out for CHRISTMAS CARNAGE announcements. LLAP! 🖖
