Not for nothing, queerly beloved, but it would be great if I posted ridiculous, improbable sales or maybe got my books optioned for Pride just, y'know under the Circumstances 🌈📚

I’m logging off for the weekend, and I haven’t been linking to my books because I’m STILL working on getting things on itchio, but you can support me and see some cool content I’m making, too, over at my Patreon! www.patreon.com/user?u=33261...

This is so freaking close to being fulfilled! Let part of your Pride/protest this weekend be giving aid to queers in need.

Got a printer? You can start fighting fascism. Here's a thread of things you can print and distribute. 👇 I promise doing something--even this--feels better than raging silently. And maybe it'll show you that standing up is possible and open you up to more things you can do.

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

Kiki is the first cat I’ve ever had who had a litter preference. I started using the walnut bits kind, but couldn’t find it in store last week, and she wouldn’t step into the litter boxes until it was absolutely necessary.

What everyone should be concerned about is that I haven’t picked out my outfit yet. That’s the real potential disaster on the horizon.

If you want to really freak out your cis-het boomer parents, tell them “the first Pride was a riot!” Concerned texts will follow.

Like, I dunno, maybe double-check advice white people have on how to protest properly. Find other sources. If white people are the only ones saying, “sit on the ground!” then I’d say it might be bad advice. 😉

My experience working in programs that help victims of crime? Very nearly 0% cis-het men. Hey, if you’re a dude and you’re lonely, volunteer to help others.

Fucking "allies" who come into queer spaces and make them less safe should eat a bowl of nails.

Best shows I’ve watched with my kids in the last couple of years. Owl House Steven Universe Frieren Cardcaptor Sakura They’re all lovely and mostly queer (haven’t finished Frieren yet, it might get there.)

I did see it floating around that protesters should sit to demonstrate they aren’t a threat, and this is a very, very important counterpoint.

sigh Well, it started with self-insert Star Wars fan fiction in middle school, and progressed to . . . look, I just thought that line about Albus Dumbledore discovering the 12 uses of dragon’s blood was way more interesting than anything that ever happened in the Harry Potter books.

In spite of the larger arc of the evening being shitty, I am grateful to the waitstaff who let me check out around the corner when I decided to get out of the place, and made sure I was okay when the dude followed me over to the register and I snapped at him to stop following me around.

Went to a Pride event, ended up getting followed around by a dude draped in an Ally flag, alas, but figured I’d share my sick outfit with the good queer folks. Tomorrow you will find me in the forest, for sure!

But maybe none of this is distraction. Maybe it’s all just part of the gears of this machine with racist assholes at the helm looking to grind us all into dust. And maybe we all have to take stands where and when we can, while we learn all we can and take care of others and survive.

this pride month, remember that some ppl are gay, but not queer. queer as a political identity and worldview means something very different.

The woman who filmed the other woman getting shot by the cops in LA, then ran up to help her is giving me life and light today. Fucking hero.

Frankly, Abra's books are a deal at twice the price, so maybe leave her a tip?

I think at the root of people who object to protesting or to vandalism or violence is a demand for politeness and gentility. Politeness is intertwined with White Supremacy. Politeness in our time will get people killed and will lose us our rights.
