This afternoon, the Trump administration officially shut down the LGBTQ Youth Specialized Services program within the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. The program allowed callers under 25 to speak with counselors trained to support LGBTQ youth, an option that has now been eliminated.

Notice how George W. Bush, a man who went AWOL, and Donald Trump, a man who dodged the draft five times, are so eager to send *your* children to die in wholly unnecessary wars?

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Sound familiar?

I am running a contest on Instagram for 2 free tickets to Pride LitCon 2025 in Richmond Virginia. To enter, all I’m asking is for you to donate $5 to the Trevor Project.

The US needs a general strike, before things get even worse.

Read queer love stories?!

READ QUEER LOVE STORIES!

Trump is trying to sell his domestic policy bill with lies. Let’s break them down.

Trump said, “We’re not doing any cutting of anything meaningful. The only thing we’re cutting is waste, fraud and abuse.” False.

That’s happened to me a few times

Exciting news everyone. I will be at Pride LitCon this year in Richmond, with both my horror novel from last year and my new release, If The King Falls.

Yeah it’s a little brighter than the other two colors so it’s easier to see. None of them are bad choices, but I think for visibility if you want to make it easier for customers to see the handle maybe start with pink.

Green or pink I think would be the best ones, the pinkish one is easiest on the eye.

The most stable genius, is at it again

For many children, the food they receive in school is the only healthy food they will have that day.

Yet, according to the latest estimates, the Republicans' bill to give tax breaks to billionaires could result in 18.3 million children losing access to free school meals.

I just got this last night as a gift and all I’m going to say is I love it. Had no idea this existed but Rocketbook is a cool product and I really like it, I think other writers might like it as well.

Could also be a growth spurt, I switched my diet back and forth like that as a teen too.

NOAA scrambles to fill forecasting jobs as hurricane season looms An estimated 500 National Weather Service employees have taken early retirements or been fired this year, weather service officials said, as part of the DOGE cuts in the federal government workforce.

Hampton Roads, like many coastal communities, relies on the expertise of those working at NOAA and the National Weather Service during hurricane season to stay safe.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk were reckless in firing these civil servants.

Habeas corpus is a fundamental constitutional safeguard that ensures no one is imprisoned without cause. Any suggestion to suspend it strikes against the heart of due process, threatens the rule of law and should frighten law abiding citizens who might be mistakenly arrested.

A King who is the last of his kind must get his diamond heart back before his country and possibly the world, is destroyed.

Congrats that’s awesome news

Christopher Moore is a great writer.

I love how well done Jamie K. Schmidt’s newsletter came out for my books! Check it out everyone!

The only problem with this is, historically when that was done, the girls received a worse education. That’s why public schools were made co-ed in the US.

Writing in Roman numerals would use up a lot more space and ink.

She loves you, and doesn’t understand she’s big. My husky mix is the same way.

So, serious question now that the very last cargo ships from China are arriving? What is everyone in the US going to do when there’s no more food in the grocery stores?

Good luck
