Published an essay called "Hopepunk vs. Grimdark" on my Patreon for FREE! 🌈

In the current times we live in, I firmly believe stories about kindness and hope are exactly what we need.

I got her because she has the same type of horns as one of my main characters, Amari 🤣

No Kings protestors converging on Seattle Center in advance of the rally and march through downtown

ZERO arrests at No Kings in NYC. (And the NYPD isn’t notorious for being sympathetic with people anti-Trump.)

This proves what shameless liars Speaker Mike Johnson & Karoline Leavitt are to slander the participants as violent anarchists.

No Kings Denver speaker Joe Salazar (fmr Dem state rep) tells me they estimate 25-30k gathered in Denver today, similar to the No Kings protest earlier this year. This view is from photographer Cheney Orr for the New York Times. #copolitics

This is what it looks like when your community stands up.

Portland baristas: “If ICE agents come to buy a coffee, serve them robusta.”

If this were the 2000s we'd get a sitcom about the Portland frogs trying to live a normal life in suburbia

Cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war.

“MAKE THEIR LIVES A LIVING HELL”

Fellow flotilla activists are alleging Greta Thunberg was horrifically mistreated in Israeli detention.

If this is how Israel treats a high-profile detainee like Greta Thunberg, I want you to consider how they treat Palestinian detainees.

You don’t have to imagine it. It’s been widely documented:

Greta Thunberg after being released #FreedomFlotilla

Wrote this thread about Greta Thunberg, not so long ago. How she went from liberal meaningless climate activism, to actually understanding that climate change isn't the problem, it's a symptom of the problem. The problem is capitalism, white supremacy, and imperialism.

The world is incredibly lucky to have people like Greta Thunberg.

I've written a small essay on queer fantasy and posted it for free on Patreon! It's the start of a series where I write a new essay every month, and I'm pretty excited about it.

There's so many different ways to approach queer fantasy!

WIP snippet from early on in my MC's self-imposed undercover mission, infiltrating the heroes. Starting to have some troubles balancing villain at home VS hero at work. It'll go great, guys. So great. 😇

This is a funny one. The daughter of supervillains is infiltrating the heroes and has to do some creative reimagining of her family history. 🤣🤣🤣
