ICE dressed up like utility workers who offer "free estimates" if invited inside. Neighbor recorded the ICE goons and intervened, just before a young boy let them into his home. Tucson Electric Power was not told ICE agents would be impersonating their utility workers as part of the ICE raid.

The recent renewal of the What Is Romance? conversation has me wondering: is there a genre term used to market adult stories that are about a relationship, but that are also and equally about a fantastic world? I'd thought that was romantasy, but romantasy's roots are deep in YA. Romantic fantasy?

I understand the appeal of dark academia--grad school nearly broke me. I understand the ways that the structure of the academy can lead to alienation, obsession, and desperation. Hope is an anglerfish's lure; surely there is some revelation awaiting that will make everything worth it. 1/5

It's critical for us to look to SFF's long tradition of queer stories. If I had been more aware of that tradition, my earlier books would've been more openly, proudly queer--please know, queer writers of today, that you are walking a well-traveled road where many friends have walked before.

And it's done! This is the first tarot painting I've ever done, although the idea had always had some allure. So it's super cool to be a part of an AP tarot deck! This was done in acrylics, and I'll ramble about the symbolism in the Alt text.

UNBOUND AUTHORS: I’m speaking to a solicitor about our fine mess. If you have ANY correspondence with the company (beyond the “Dear Author” letters we all got) in 2024 about nonpayment or about the company’s financial stability, could I see it?

Happy pride month!! I made a starter pack of amazing queer/LGBTQIA+ speculative fiction authors and I think the best way to kick off the month is to share it around so they can get some recognition for their hard work! Whether you are queer or an ally, support these wonderfully diverse creators!
