On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I would have you remember that there are trans people alive who need your action now, not your reflective words later.

Remembering us is not enough.

As an 8th grade teacher, this is the first year in a decade that I haven't had any openly trans students in my classes. It's sad that these kids who were feeling they could more safely be themselves, now have to hide themselves away.

Watched The Beast In Me, and mostly liked it. Just wondering why so many shows have like some big flashback episode right before the finale, especially one that no one needs, and the narrative doesn’t need either.

When I think of AI I think of Prince being asked about holograms of dead celebrities:

β€œThat's the most demonic thing imaginable.… If I was meant to jam with Duke Ellington, we would have lived in the same age. That whole virtual reality thing... it really is demonic. And I am not a demon."

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

When I got my brain MRI, it was because I had COVID so severely, my doctor worried I'd had a stroke. I needed testing immediately to figure out the best treatment, and I got it--and paid $2,000 after my employer insurance.

I love great novellas, and you all need to put these two urban fantasies by @veronicarothbooks.com on your list, When Among Crows, and To Clutch A Razor. Writing the second book in a series isn't easy, but this one is amazing.

Looking forward to more in the Curse Bearer series. πŸ™Œ

here's the (gorgeous) cover for my next book, Seek the Traitor's Son!

Quick pitch:

It's about the daughter of a bounty hunter
the Knight sworn to protect her
...and the prophecy that ruins both of their lives.

The self-fulfilling cycles of marketing in the publishing industry are frustrating, terrifying, and career ending, because, in part, this move completely torpedos the midlist.
