It’s so easy to be an artist. You just do it. That, of course, is why it’s so hard to be an artist. You just have to do it. People despise how artistic courage highlights their own cowardice. Thus, crave the art, despise the artist. my random thoughts on it, better said by all the ppl in history

It’s a frightening time in our history. But in spite of that reality — or rather, in response to that reality — we are organizing and still rising. #NoKings

Vending today with @abiggaymarket.bsky.social - we're at The Unicorn Bar in Kingston NY. In the area and have time before or after your No Kings Day protest? Come say hi to me and 20+ other vendors!

I’ve seen a lot of hand wringing about the dangers of going to No Kings protests and gently, I want to tell people to chill a little. These are permitted marches and the point is to be out there and seen en masse. Please don’t scare off people who are maybe going to their very first protest

Update: Ohhh my God I just had the best shrimp and grits I've ever had in my LIFE; this place is amazing. (And is apparently owned by the same people who run the excellent Irish restaurant just down the street, so makes sense that the food is top-notch.)

Happy Pride! Anyone who's been wishing for some of my original writing and art, here's a great chance to enjoy one of my stories and one of my watercolors. You'll be supporting queer creators, a queer press, and a very good cause, Rainbow Railroad (I'm donating my royalties as well).

I think a lot of people don't understand that in a world where everyone uses "AI" to vomit out statistically average text, the ability to use words uniquely becomes a premium skill and a critical differentiator.

I always tell up-and-coming novelists to use Locus to make sure they're up on the latest SFF news -- deals and deliveries, which agents are worth your time, forthcoming blockbusters, etc. Essential for writers and anyone else who needs to know. Check out their fundraiser and donate if you can!

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

I really appreciate that John goes into detail on stuff like this. Writing and publishing books is a business – a creative business, yes, but a business nonetheless – and too many people forget that, especially when sounding off online.
