Thank you, Senator Cory Booker! #Resist

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning:

"As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

Happy International Women's Day!

May every woman find their way into the room where their voice is most needed—whether that's a board room, a legislature, or a PTA meeting.

When we stand up and speak our values, women change the world!

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Book cover: CHUCK WENDIG'S WANDERERS. Features eerie sunset sky and a bent, rusted watertower and some shambling hobbity-lookin dude wandering down field path. It says NATIONAL BESTSELLER, which is nice, and includes a nice quote from the Toronto Star which compares it to Stephen King, Emily St John Mandel, and Justin Cronin's books.

I do not know why my novel WANDERERS is a mere buck-ninety-nine at your favorite electric bookmonger site of choice, but it is, so if you want, y'know, creepy sleepwalking disease peri-apocalyptic sci-fi horror with a hefty dash of EAT SHIT A.I., then hey, it's 800 pages for 199 pennies.

To me the cool thing about this image is that the sprinkling of blue stars are in the foreground, some 5 million light years away, while all those gorgeous colorful swirly galaxies are almost unimaginably more distant, out in the far depths of the cosmos. More info: www.stsci.edu/contents/med...
