Again, the revenue they are sharing w/ Nazis is money YOU spend on your fave substackers. If you're accepting paid subscriptions on substack— and putting content behind a pay wall—you are inherently asking your readers to share that money w/ Nazis. "You can't read this unless you give Nazis money."

I'm thrilled to have had the opportunity to do a few interviews w/ women motorcyclists. I did so to understand my main character for the novel I'm currently querying. Soon, I'll have a spotlight of one of the women I interviewed up on my blog. She's super cool! #motorcycles #amwriting

Writers of color, the deadline to apply to VONA's summer online workshops is 2/28. This was the first writing workshop I attended (back when it was in person) and it was such an affirming experience. I learned a lot.

Costco, which has come out saying it supports DEI, will make no changes to its existing programs, AND pays workers a minimum of $30/hour, is up 15% YTD. Target, which announced it is ending all DEI programs and has a minimum wage of $15-$24/hour, is down over 4%. Keep voting with your wallet.

A fact I like to point out in my classes is that by the beginning of the Civil War, every white-controlled Christian denomination in the American South had developed a pro-slavery theology and adopted it as their official position- except for the Quakers.

If y'all haven't caught on I'm going to annoy the shit out of y'all with examples on how democracy is being fought for and saved on the local level. I want to unshackle y'all from the thinking that only the national horse race matters.

First book finished in 2025. Such a thoughtful, interesting (and funny!) book about different death rituals and how far-removed the U.S. is from death practices. It made me think a lot about what I want my burial to look like. Plus, I cried so you know it was good! #death
