The same congressman who targeted me led a cruel (and sadly successful) campaign to fire a Texas A&M teacher.

Their "crime"? Teaching about trans topics.

Just a few more days in August to take advantage of this deal! Multiple authors have told me that my feedback helped them see their manuscript in a whole new way and find a pathway toward a better book.

If you have a horror/Weird fiction novel or novella that needs an editor, email me ASAP!

Please give what you can to help Sama'a and her family survive. Help her bring her second child into the world and fight off starvation

i will always side with sex workers and smut creators and you should too. kill the puritanical pearl-clutching brainworm raising a stink about respectability and optics. it is a backdoor fascists will use to sneak their way into your sympathies. porn is good, sex is normal, kink is human. grow up.

I come with empty hands and the desire to unbuild walls.

so kind of you to reply!! i definitely can’t summarize how much your music has meant to me and kept me afloat in 300 characters lol, but i am certainly sending much love & gratitude your way (and very excited for monday)!

alright, we’re now officially at the 24% to go mark which is actually a big deal. if this fundraiser can average about 1% per day it means that the funds will be raised in enough time for it to actually hit my account by the deadline.

Good morning

PROTECT THE PROTEST THE SOLIDARITY WAVE What to do if someone does something you don't like: 1. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS We're all here for the same cause. There is no legal requirement to alert police to potentially illegal activity. 2. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE If someone's behavior raises your risk level beyond what you're comfortable with, leave the situation and head to a safer space. 3. ASK FOR SUPPORT. If someone's behavior raises your risk level and you're unable to leave, ask for support from the people around you or see if the person is able to accommodate your needs. 4. RESPECT DIVERSE TACTICS Engage with curiosity about people who do things differently from you. What motivates them to be courageous in the face of police violence? 5. KEEP COMRADES INVISIBLE If someone needs to blend into the crowd quickly, help them. Learn about de-arresting and support people who are being targetetd. Together, we can be powerful, strategic, and united. #Solidarity Wave #EffectiveProtest #PeoplePower #Gelderloos

Stop letting the people kidnapping children, arresting elders in rollators, & attempting to murder people for chanting dictate what acceptable forms of resistance are.

Stop falling into the trap of accepting the premise that the only response to state sanctioned violence must be "peaceful".

got to see @strangewildspress.bsky.social’s BOREAL in the wild today (!!!!) at the lovely Rough Draft Books in Kingston NY, not too far from my hometown! doubly delighted to find us tucked cozily beside our friends from @tenebrouspress.bsky.social 💗💀💗

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hayat. Hayat is 54 and the mother of nine children (many of whom I know) including 10 year old Tala, the baby of the family. Tala is struggling with malnutrition as food has become so difficult to access in Gaza. Hayat needs help ❤️
