Posting some... rather out of context memes for my published book, Stolen Histories. Safe to say, the city of Castor is veeery haunted. 👻😅

Got a cute photo of a hardcover of my book with Clara The Ram. 🐏

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

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

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:

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.

She called out world leaders for sitting by and watching a live-streamed genocide without taking action.

Greta:

"I will never comprehend how humans can be so evil. That you would deliberately starve millions of people living trapped under an illegal siege as a continuation of decades of oppression and apartheid.”

If you believe that:
1) Reading is critical to our democracy.
2) Books help us understand complex issues.
3) Parents shouldn’t make decisions for other parents’ children.
4) Youth deserve to see themselves in books.

Join the campaign to #UniteAgainstBookBans: uniteagainstbookbans.org/take-action/
Join the movement.
We should trust individuals to make their own decisions. Raise your voice for everyone's freedom to read. #UniteAgainstBookBans

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!
