I'm doing a few panels, a roundtable, and a reading at the 2025 WisCon 47 with other amazing science fiction and fantasy authors starting Friday, May 23rd. The breadth of programming for this online con is amazing! AND it's inexpensive. You can even pay what you want! Check it out at www.WisCon.net!

i see this and i hear "i want mothers to look into their children's eyes while they die of milk-borne typhoid"

Yup.

Me trying to maintain a positive attitude.

House sparrows go completely silent and disappear from my yard whenever a hawk flies over. They don’t help the hawk. I wish US voters were as smart as birds.

Hello follower(s)! I wanted you to know that I'm doing this accountability thing this month with @swords-andsapphics.bsky.social called #CampBloom. If you feel like my daily accountability posts aren't for you, that's okay! I'll be using this post to start a thread for my next #WIP. #booksky

Pride is a year round thing. Every month is Black History Month. Indigenous people deserve more than just a day. The disabled are more than a parking spot. Support marginalized artists, ESPECIALLY now.

Went to the ER today for severe abdominal pain. Got diagnosed with a weird and somewhat rare thing that will *eventually* resolve itself, so left with a prescription for painkillers and a “wait two weeks.” Not on my bucket list of things I want to hear. Bleh.

Trump knew that targeting someone outspoken about Gaza like Mahmoud Khalil would get high-profile Democrats to normalize — and back down from criticizing — this extremist, over-reaching attack on civil liberties. And Schumer is proving him right.

They started with the undocumented, then they went after visa holders and permanent residents, now it's naturalized citizens. How many times must history rhyme and repeat before we realize what's going on?

EXCLUSIVE: This just happened onstage in front of 6,000 Bostonians at the Dropkick Murphys concert. "This is America, no kings here!" @dropkickmurphys.com nails it again!!

Instead of just one hour, could we spring forward four years?

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

Apple shareholders rejected a proposal to scrap the company's DEI programs. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care. They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely. This won’t just harm people. This will kill people. They own this.

Every House Republican just voted to defund Medicaid. Reminder: there are no moderate Republicans in Congress, and stop pretending there are.

You GUYYYYSSSSSSS The military choir sang Do You Hear the People Sing from Les Mis at the governor's dinner at the white house. Thanks to @beebrookshire.bsky.social for helping me fact check tihs one. As far as I can it's only "officially" been posted on Dan Scavino's FB

So I read this, and as someone who's spent their entire career in the trenches of "how do we keep the tension between Good Guys and Bad Guys interesting," I have Some Thoughts www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/v...

I just had the absolute BEST conversation with Chyina @powelleditorial.org! I've been working on this piece for over ten years, and haven't had any good breakthroughs until today! Thank you so much, Chyina! So, if you're looking for an editor, I highly recommend checking out her services!!!!

I absolutely hate monetizing my skills. I normally just help the #writingcommunity using them. But the spouse lost his job, and money's so tight it's nonexistent. So if you know someone who needs a query critique or book-related graphics, here's my rate sheet. Contact me at the email on the graphic.

IRON WIDOW+CODE GEASS Mech-pilot Aria doesn’t want to be the Chosen One. When metal-and-flesh monsters kill her family, she swears to destroy the Chosen One's position within the coven. But if she succeeds, she may lose what she has left and end up Chosen herself. #2025pit #SF #F #A #LGBT #DIS

“I didn’t fuck around. Why do I have to be part of the finding out?” - me, every day this month

This op-ed explains how to start an ICE Watch neighborhood program in your community. ⤵️

Recently a family member (who I have blocked for white supremacism and bigotry) went off about being soooo discriminated against, whining the “left” has oppressed her. (Left in quotes because there’s only the right and the Resistance now.) 1/3

If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else. Change it to “Community Outreach” & then keep on doing the same important work. When they outlaw Community Outreach rebrand it as “Strategic Partnerships,” rinse/repeat.

Eliot is suddenly incredibly relevant now. “This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper.”

This book has held my heart for years. When it finally published (@mythicroads.bsky.social), I was so excited for @jesscreaden.bsky.social. Now, everything is in pieces and doom not only on the horizon but already here. This hopepunk novel is more relevant and inspiring than ever! #writingcommunity
