BIG BIRTHDAY FOR MY GOOD FRIEND AND FELLOW EDITOR 🎂

Go do the thing ;)

There are only FOUR DAYS remaining for you to get in on this incredible bundle.

This is *everything* @annaleen.bsky.social and I have published with Tor, for a pittance.

And you can help a wonderful organization that serves Black trans people. (Please click "adjust donation"!)

I don't know how likely HR 7661 is to pass

I don't know how long it will take them to escalate to outright book bans if it does

I do know that we can all use some wins, and that we need to protect and archive trans books while we can

Support a trans author if you can. Spread the word if you can't

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

Early Happy Birthday!!!

I’m starting this as soon as I’m done with my current book. And if you haven’t read her Splinter in the Sky you MUST.

Even if your writing gets rejected, write anyway.

In this new (free!) essay, Koneru Hanmantharao looks at a range of parenting examples across SF cinema and tv, showcasing a variety of scenarios...

This is a video I think every American could benefit from hearing. A perspective on US politics from a German citizen, who previously lived here before fleeing due to concerns over our slide into fascism. Our political system is captured. We stand at a cross roads, under a new age of technology.

I wish people were as horrified about immigrants being kidnapped and killed in detention centers as they are about this shooting at the same time I am very glad there is finally some larger momentum building against this and I hope it sustains.

Update: Medical appts on pause for now. Focusing on weekly treatments & routines for pain management🤞🏽

Book cover for Withered by A.G.A. Wilmot (ECW Press): A queer paranormal horror novel showing the complex real-life terror inherent in grief and mental illness. https://ecwpress.com/products/withered

Book cover for The Art of Forgiveness by Chris Benjamin‬ (Galleon Books‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬): The one with his indecipherable gibberish and long-in-the-back black hockey hair, who looked like he belonged in detention or the trailer park or both, who claimed soccer was the most popular sport, who during roll call called their teacher sir. And this American, wearing his stained Ralph Lauren sweater and yellow rubber boots, smelling like Drew’s ma’s Avon trunk, whacko enough to start a fight over Paul McCartney, smart enough to use big words and a lot of dirty ones too, yet too stupid to defer to Drew’s natural authority. The truth of these new kids was, they were a savage northbound monsoon that hit Drew at least as hard as he hit them. https://galleonbooks.ca/our-list/
