one thing i love about being in queer publishing right now is that we're not stopping. no one's saying "oh no maybe i should self-censor to appease the dear leader." no. it's ride or die time and we're riding hard.

and even for folks who DO print in the US... where does the equipment come from? where does the paper come from? the glue? the ink? the list goes on and on. I don't know the answers but I'm willing to bet some or most will be impacted by tariffs. like. DPP books are printed in Atlanta. But...

Susan Crawford wins the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, according to many election analysts. This after Elon Musk and others poured millions into anti-transgender advertisements in the state. The anti-trans panic failed in Wisconsin. This is a major victory for LGBTQ+ people in the state.

There’s a strain of person who would much rather believe that Americans aren’t doing anything to fight back than that they ARE fighting back and it hasn’t fixed things. And look, I get it. It’s the same drive that says if you don’t bounce back from an illness, you must have done something wrong.
