The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

About to finish writing my second book of the year once I nail this ending. Just need to tie up all of the loose threads or kill off the characters that would have otherwise had open threads.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Man the feeling before this launch. Things are feeling good, man. Ask me again in a week if we don't smash through the funding goal, though.

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something: Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain." And just stand there. This is how many of you are coming across.

"It is estimated that between 220,000 and 269,500 individuals with schizophrenia were sterilized or killed. This total represents between 73% and 100% of all individuals with schizophrenia living in Germany between 1939 and 1945."

99% of the time I'm like "Who would ever want to be a grammar critic, that seems terrible" and then I'll see a major publication write "high jinks" instead of "hijinks" and think "am I the villain? Is it me?" 🤣

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

If you want to buy art from vulnerable people in hardcopy please buy print versions of books from selfpub marginalized authors. They are continuously closest to danger and the market forces them to go Kindle Unlimited far too often.

As much as I like writing a nice clean draft going back and editing it is definitely not a thing I like.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

To be clear, our most historically trusted media outlets carried a tremendous amount of water & shattered their credibility for an administration that will now make it state policy to see them ousted from their jobs if they show even bare minimum backbone. They were warned of this for many years.

Someone’s cellphone playing “Margaritaville” for thirty seconds while they rummaged around in their bag to try and silence it during the land acknowledgment at a Martin Luther King Day service felt…metaphorical.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

I remember a NYT piece about Luzern County, PA, where a group of moms said they had no choice but to vote Trump for the third time because they didn’t want their sons to be drafted into Kamala Harris’ wars. This was reported uncritically.

So I got curious since my book is in the Transgender Fiction category and looked to see what else is in there #1 is a book from 2017 #2 on are 90% sissy porn. I've got no problem with porn - I write it on another pen. But I'd like to see more books written by trans authors about trans people.
