Liberals are quick to mount the "kindness" argument on immigration, and then they say our economy depends on them. It's none of that. Our government spent the last 100 years sabotaging their democracies, stealing their resources, and destroying their environment. They have every right to be here.

The original, perfectly fine, sentence I wrote: Father Figgins’ room was as ostentatious and demanding of attention as the man himself. How I KNOW my readers would prefer I edit it: Father Figgins’ room was as ostentatious and demanding of attention as the trick a$$ motherf*cker POS himself.

An American flag built on the backs of Black people... Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways All this in New Orleans... What a moment

Halfway thru my bookstore trip today I 1) found my precious 1st child on the shelf 🥳 and 2) remembered that I was on a book buying ban for the 1st quarter of this year. Anyway, it’s so cool to be next to the new editions of Travis Baldree’s books and to also finally pick up Sabaa Tahir’s books!

🚨Calling out the white women on BookTok for their performative behavior who claim to be allies but only read books by cis straight authors. Following BIPOC & queer authors isn’t allyship—actively reading books by Bipoc and queer authors and deconstructing your privilege is. #booksky #booktok

Good. Trump is almost certainly going to directly target publishers sooner or later. Gotta fight back at every stage.

An update regarding book 2….

submitted 17 days ago • 0 comments

Book 2 final edits are going so well that I’ve stopped them to dedicate an entire afternoon to beginning my own sourdough starter and learning all science behind it. Yep… for sure not procrastinating. Ps- her name is Cleo, so when she inevitably unalives I can shout “aur naur Cleo!”

If you like vids that are a bit longer and love to hear authors gab about the inspiration behind their books, I would love for you to watch to my most recent TikTok about how I built the caste system in my series and what inspired it. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2LAt6Ee/ #booksky 💙📚 #author #fantasybook

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

My brain ended up giving up on edits about 3 seconds into it and I’ve been taking turns staring at my ceiling in silence and trying to read a romantasy book to cleanse my mind…. Nothing is working. Today is hard. I think I’ll just let it be that way, and that’s okay. ❤️‍🩹

Another day, another round of hand edits, and another puzzle to treat myself with between work sprints. Ps- yep, that’s a Zutara puzzle… they were 100% meant to be end game. #authorsky #booksky #author #fantasyauthor

I am autistic. I am also Polish and German. I’ve never once fucking thrown that sign up.

Apparently it needs saying, again, as autism is used as an excuse for bullshit, again, but: AUTISM DOES NOT MAKE YOU LESS AWARE OF YOUR ACTIONS AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES. IT MAKES YOU HYPER-AWARE AND ANXIOUS ABOUT THEM.
