Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor.

He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down.

The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him.

This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

My daughter (who speaks French) calls PP "Pebbles", and I don't hate it. (pierre kinda means pebbles, for those who don't speak French)

Ah, so that's how it would work. Might I suggest North Island-Powell River? Aaron Gunn doesn't deserve to represent Canada.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Having a long memory sucks. Because it means having to watch shitty people in the field crop up repeatedly. Finally looked at the full Aurora list and Renรฉ Walling is back to conrunning? Renรฉ who is, unless something changed in the last decade, still banned from Readercon for life. ->
