Book Launch: Queen Demon by Martha Wells | Iron Dog Books Indigenous-owned bookshop serving metro Vancouver

Vancouver! Iron Dog Books is hosting the launch of @marthawells.com new novel, Queen Demon, here on Oct 15: irondogbooks.com/events/32161...

“Many of us were forced to leave behind everything that was most precious—family, home, the communities that gave us a sense of belonging,” individuals said in the video viewed by Pope Leo. “Now, when deportations strike, the loss is repeated.”

THIS is the energy we’ve been waiting for. Credit where credit is due.

ICYMI, we're open to submissions by authors of historically marginalized backgrounds for this entire month!

We want to read more works by Black writers, Indigenous writers, disabled writers, gay and lesbian and trans writers, and other folks whose voices must be heard!

OMG that looks amazing! Seared salmon is delicious 😋

Judge Poised to Free Abrego Garcia if Officials Can’t Supply Deportation Plans

The Trump admin has lied about this case from the start — and now it can't get its story straight about next steps for Mr. Abrego Garcia.

This reeks of a political prosecution and the courts must continue to ensure his due process rights are protected.

Already have multiple instances in the first hour of this being posted.

I think the censorship of banned books week itself is an underreported story.

As librarians, we hold more power than we think. It's why bigots go after us and our collections. Use that power to help those who benefit the most from it. Orwell doesn't get anything from more attention but a midlist marginalized author benefits greatly from it. If nothing else, be efficient.

It's not too late to RSVP for our Know Your Rights training tonight: aclu.org/KYRtraining_oct6

anyway please read my extremely queer Portland magical girl novel. it's chock full o' lesbians, both trans and cis (plus a really cool bisexual), and a lot of very gay emotions about women loving women

and there's a sequel coming your way very soon with even *more* gay shit in it

My anti-genAI Christmas novella (lol) will be out in just over two weeks!

Text of the fourth amendment “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

Just posting this. Everyone knows why.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Diary of Anne Frank

This victory supports what Oregonians already know: we don’t need or want Donald Trump to provoke violence by deploying federal troops in our state. I’ll keep working to stop Trump from fulfilling his perverse fantasy of making Portland the center of his assault on U.S. cities.

The Secret Casebook of Simon Feximal is like Sherlock Holmes but make it gay and paranormal. Episodic paranormal mysteries in each chapter that add up to so much more

Checking in from the ICE facility that Trump says is under siege…

Bobby was one of just two of the Clinton 12 to have actually graduated from Clinton High School after desegregating it. The school was bombed in 1958.

I wrote about the Clinton 12 a few years ago for a series exploring the world after Brown: www.theatlantic.com/education/ar...

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours.

Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

"CINDER OUT NOW!" title, with the cover of CINDER by DN BRYN and the words "If Cinderella hid a darker identity..." and "Vigilante justice, Pigeon magic, Complex & painful family dynamics, Everywhere but the bed, Aro-spec prince"

I'm so pleased to see my trans M/M Cinderella retelling out in the world! I hope ya'll enjoy this slightly darker story than my usual. (I promise it still has just as much heart 💖 )

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

American Christians deciding the Pope doesn't know the Bible because he said immigrants are human is the perfect summary of the evangelist movement

not allowing the government to send goons to break down your door and haul you away for no reason is genuinely one of the primary reasons this country even exists in the form it has for 250 years

I

no but

look this is actually ... real? not sure that word means anything any more but apparently yes they are doing a garlic mayonnaise branded book because of *course* they are. I don't know why I ever thought they wouldn't.

Kenya transgender rights victory hailed as African first QNews LGBTIQA+ News

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like

"A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act."

fuck yeah

so excited to be part of the Give Writers Money club, though I do wish theft was not involved and it was just a rich guy writing us all checks to be nice instead of us being compensated for the wrongs done us
