ICE Goons Pepper Spray Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva During Tucson Raid
“If federal agents are brazen enough to fire pellets directly at a member of Congress, imagine how they behave when encountering defenseless members of our community,” Grijalva said.

We are somehow a week into December and I have completely neglected promoting this sale. So, reminder that my books on itchio will be on sale through the end of the year (and that revenue from these next few weeks makes all the difference to an indie author like me).
Do you want to shop small this holiday? Need a quick read this season? Consider supporting me by picking up my most recent books, which are on sale here in a convenient bundle:

Some people tell me: "You must want to stay disabled".
FFS people - Disabilities (seen & unseen) are not a Choice.
Living in financial poverty is not a Choice.
Stupid, arrogant, unethical, systemic barriers on disabled peoples - are choices non-disabled peoples make.

People act like being disabled is great because you get all these ‘benefits’ but forget you have to actually live with your illness or diagnosis or impairment

Whew! 😰 Dark science fantasy indeed!
I’ve read an ARC of Blessed is the Rot, and this book is GREAT! Disturbing in places, of course, but well-written, fascinating, and as always with Sheri’s work, a deeply human story among all of the fantastic elements. Excellent!

Day three of #ArtAdventCalendar.
Many moons ago, I used to paint stones. I’d sketch out an idea and then slowly transfer it onto a selected pebble. Here’s an example of one of my concept sketches and the finished stone.

Anyway.
December 3 is the International Day for Persons with Disabilities.
Let's NOT be shitty to disabled people online by eroding support for accommodations and questioning whether people are "actually disabled" or not, shall we?

Armed masked DHS Population Control agents force their way past a gate & onto private property, pushing past the residents saying they don't need a warrant b/c it's just a "knock and talk" & they're not going inside. NOT HOW THIS WORKS, TRESPASSERS. Get a warrant or go to jail.

"As ICE officers continue to arrest the most violent criminals nationwide"
Any news article, that uses these words isn't a serious news source.
They are arresting innocent people left and right to meet quotas, and they are getting violent ones by accident.
Re-read that last line twice.

Enabling billionaires who dehumanize people they don’t like is inexcusable. I expected better from the BlueSky mods.
20 Aug 25 -- Bluesky has suspended multiple trans users for anti-J.K. Rowling posts even when they didn't mention threats or violence. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social
Bluesky silenced trans voices over J.K. Rowling, here’s why
Outcry grows after multiple trans users were targeted for mild criticisms of the anti-trans billionaire.
