I caught a clip talking about the moon landing being fake and every time I hear that crap now I think of the hard work Miss Katherine and her team did to get us up there.

artist, writers, creators - truly thank you, thank you for your work and efforts. you are making beauty, fun, and joy in a harsh world and i appreciate you.

Do feel like the theatre kids could start using their powers for good and doing a cappella singalongs of full musicals in politically expedient places. Weaponized annoyingness if you will

Yes.

Just to be clear, this is already illegal and prevented by current legislation, which should be enforced.

What is the enforcement plan for the new legislation?

Yes. Good. More of this.

Headline: "Should ‘aiding’ or ‘abetting’ a homeless camp be illegal? It might soon be a reality in this Bay Area city."

This is where we are now: A city in Northern California isn’t just making homelessness illegal—it’s criminalizing those who *help* people living on the street.

Under a new ordinance, “aiding or abetting” an encampment would be a misdemeanor, punishable by a $1,000 fine and up to six months in jail.

Who dies in a Horror movie- political

Who lives- political

Who is the main character -political

Who is the sidekick- political

How are certain characters portrayed - political

What you show (and what you hide) - political

A reminder that fiction — books, film, games, what have you — is always political. The willful absence of “politics” in any work is itself a political choice and a political act. Who gets to tell (and sell) stories is political. It might be an undercurrent — covert, not overt. But it’s there.

👋 Hello!

Reasons to Live Through the Apocalypse Sunrises. People you have still to meet and laugh with. Songs about love, peace, anger, and revolution. Walks in the woods. The smile you exchange with a stranger when you experience beauty accidentally together. Butterflies. Seeing your grandparents again. The moon in all her forms, whether half or full. Dogs. Birthdays and half-birthdays. That feeling of floating in love. Watching birds eat from bird feeders. The waves of happiness that follow the end of sadness. Brown eyes. Watching a boat cross an empty sea. Sunsets. Dipping your feet in the river. Balconies. Cake. The wind in your face when you roll the car window down on an open highway. Falling asleep to the sound of a steady heartbeat. Warm cups of tea on cold days. Hugs. Night skies. Art museums. Books filled with everything you do not yet know. Long conversations. Long-lost friends. Poetry.

I wrote this on one of the darkest days of my life. It gave me an anchor to hold onto.

Civil rights were won through protests and lawsuits and literally fighting back. We are not in unprecedented times. We are in a horrible reboot of Reconstruction. Fight in every way possible. Flood those anti DEI tiplines with misinformation, spend 10 minutes every day telling your reps to stop this

Last night's gathering was a huge motivation boost for me to work on my current manuscript diligently this weekend, and I was reminded to have fun with it! I was also encouraged to create my own writing space at home despite how small my apartment is thanks to Stacy 😊

Timely reminder that there will be a spattering of posts about romance as a whole, and probably some really sex repellent stuff because we're in a sex panic right now. Don't give them your energy.

I was Episcopalian before I converted. Served in the choir and served as an acolyte.

In the 80s and 90s the prayers of the people included those with AIDS and those who give them care. My church welcomed trans and queer congregants in the 80s.

There were some clues is all I'm saying.

Available in store only (for now, at least--someday we'll figure out how to sell them online)--all the more reason to come by when you can!

Thank 👏 you 👏

Wow, the mention of Ellora's Cave takes me back to the 2010s when I discovered their site for the first time in college. I hate to admit it, but reading stories from that site gave me A LOT of ideas for my own creative works. For me and my friends, not my classes 👀

it’s wildly irresponsible for mainstream media to call romantasy books “smut” or “p*rn” in out-of-context headlines during an era of increasing book bans and purity culture hysteria.

this mischaracterization and willful ignorance of an entire genre is how you normalize book bans.
