I said goodbye to Daenerys, my Good Mew, on Thursday. She was 16, and I gave her the best life. She was my good girl and glued to my hip cat. She is probably cuddled up with her brother again in the Unseen.

Temptation is running high to make a website for myself and have an email list so I can keep people in the loop of my life. Like these places were meant to.

I don't think a lot of people in politics over the age of 40 understand that young people aren't scared of words like socialism or communism.

They're watching every bad propaganda thing they've ever heard about socialism play out in real life under capitalism. And the socialists have health care.

If your law is good when there are good people in office, but dangerous when there are bad people in office, your law is bad.

If you read one of my books and liked it, please tell your friends! Honestly, that’s still the best marketing many authors can hope for. If you like a book, share it with the people in your life! Everyone wins!

The draft of the Supreme Court's majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson leaked on the anniversary of the Memphis Massacre, a turning point on the way to what looked like freedom. Over the first three days of May in 1866, white residents of Memphis brutalized, murdered, and sexually assaulted the city's Black residents. Seven men entered the home of Frances Thompson, two of them police-"I know they were policemen by their stars," Thompson later explained. They drew their pistols, threatening to shoot her and burn down the house if she and her friend "did not let them have their way with us." Several weeks later, Thompson, a formerly enslaved woman, and four other Black women who had been sexually assaulted testified before the select Congressional committee investigating the massacre.
Their testimony built support for the Fourteenth Amendment, which asserts the constitutional right to equal protection under the law.

Ten years after the Memphis Massacre, Frances Thompson was arrested and charged with "cross-dressing" as a woman. Police forced her to undergo a physical examination and, as the historian Susan Stryker recounted in a recent lecture, dressed her in male attire and posed her for illustrations which ran in newspapers across the country. The press recast her as a liar and her testimony as a dangerous fiction, wielded in service of Reconstruction, which was already disintegrating around her. After Thompson was outed, the historian Hannah Rosen writes in her book Terror in the Heart of Freedom
(2009), the press used the gender "impersonation" charges to assert that Thompson and other Black women who testified about sexual violence "were not virtuous
enough to be believed when they testified in a legal forum," or "to be trusted with the rights of citizenship."

The enemies of Reconstruction were trying to kill the Fourteenth Amendment (and destroy one of the women whose story was used to argue for its necessity) when the Fourteenth was barely ten years old. www.nybooks.com/online/2022/...

Today is a real bad day for trans folks. Lots of us are already struggling under the constant mental and emotional strain of being the target of international hate campaigns for years now, and it ain't getting easier

Support us, now more than ever. Emotionally, financially, politically. We need it

Arresting elected officials. Scooping immigrants up at the courthouse doing the right thing. This has nothing to do with criminals. It's quotas. Fucking cowards.
