If President Zelenskyy were my President, Iā€™d actually have a President Iā€™m proud of. Instead I have a putrid orange hand puppet with a South African Billionaireā€™s fist up his ass, so needless to say Iā€™m incredibly ashamedā€¦ Slava Ukraini!

Poetry.

Got an email from marketing explaining how I should talk about my books more on social mediaā€¦ My sister in what the fuck, are we living in the same timeline or do you have the luxury of being in a parallel universe where everything is normal?

I pledge allegiance to the flagā€¦

Someone just told me I should stay in my lane and stop posting about politics. Baby, Iā€™m an author of books about queer women, Iā€™ve practically been declared an enemy of the stateā€¦ Also, never tell me *not* to do something; Iā€™ll do it TWICE and take pictures.

ā€œYouā€™re so political.ā€ The last Republican who wasnā€™t actively evil/ insane was John McCain and heā€™s been dead since 2018, so, yeah, I amā€¦

Finally! Someone *understands* the heart of darkness I have beating in my chest.

Weā€™ve all been pretty angry lately because the world is awful and weā€™re losing our rights faster than a middle-aged man loses his hair so hereā€™s a picture of Trouble and his blep. Blep!

Dear Google, We donā€™t need a reminder that June is Pride month and I promise you we wonā€™t let you forget it either. Xoxo, The Queers

Sisters and misters, theys and gays, are we really going to let a bunch of barely literate sentient trashcans pass laws about what kind of books weā€™re allowed to buy and read? Like, please, these are the same people who think ā€œPersonal Jesusā€ is a song about Christianityā€¦

I love an infographic.

You know what, there is a book I want banned from American public schools: The Bible (and all other religious texts because separation of Church and State is still a thing here. For now.)

I really need to have a chat with my publisher about pulling my books from Kindle Unlimited so I can sell ebooks through bookshop dot org. ā€œBottom lineā€ my ass, for real.

Did I want to be an activist? No, I just wanted to teach kids how to read and write my silly lesbian books in my free time, but here the fuck we areā€¦

I just finished developmental edits on my next book and I think itā€™s good, but Iā€™m going to read it at least 3 more times before I send it back to Bywater because OF COURSE I want to call into question every iota of talent I possess. Iā€™m a writer.

All of my books have been banned (in one place or another) in the state of Florida and my little lesbian author heart is so full of joy because of it.

Proud to be a Bywater author.

My British publishers are worried Iā€™m going to negatively impact my book sales because Iā€™m so angryā€¦ Respectfully, my country is on fire and being held hostage by neo-fascists, I am going to be angry and loud about it for at least the next four years. Idgaf about my book sales.

Twitter is still Twitter and the Gulf of MEXICO is still the place where BP destroyed an entire ecosystem.

Dear fascists, My pronouns are Fuck/You.

Well, today was a dayā€¦ Not a good one but here we are.

Some of you know, I read a poem each morning. Recently, I started @kristenzimmer.bsky.social's Shades of Blue, and I'm enjoying her unapologetic zings and zest. šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡ This is great mantra for 2025ā€¼ļøā€¼ļø (I share her poem with permission)

The perfect relationship is taking her to see Wicked and pretending to enjoy it and her taking you to see Nosferatu and pretending to not be terrified.

I finished A Tender and Wildfire Body by @laurenevebooks.bsky.social yesterday. It was lovely and raw. Now, I get to wrap myself in Shades of Blue by @kristenzimmer.bsky.social & her Note makes me even happier to read it. šŸ˜€ #poetrylovers

Happy New Year. I hope your 2025 is fine (letā€™s not overshoot, okay?)

If you wanna end your year reading vicarious heartbreak and rage, boy do I have the poetry collection for youā€¦ a.co/d/cBxGnF0
