They want us to think we’re alone. We are not. The Resistance is Everywhere.

Welcome to Resist List. Your online hub of the ongoing resistance to the growth of authoritarianism in the United States.
It's been a week since I visited the offices of Sen Young, Sen Banks, and Rep Shreve (none here) to personally deliver letters with my concerns. In each I requested a response to acknowledge they saw it. None has bothered to even look at a hand-delivered letter, any more than to answer their phones.
We're so close!! Please take a look to help us get 100%

(and also, please check out my yōkai-rousel pins at www.backerkit.com/c/projects/l... if you have not already :D )
Colorado Springs is far from the tiniest airport I've used, but it's kinda cute that it lists the ubiquitous Hudson as "dining." 😂
It's NATIONAL HOT CHOCOLATE DAY! How great is that?

And y'know, I'm <$13 short of this month's sales goal, so let's do this: use FAIRTRADE to get 10% off any regularly priced ebook on my website store, today. Now excuse me, I'm off to make a mug of cocoa.

Happy Spring Festival and Multi-Asiatic and Beyond Lunisolar New Year! 😂 Huzzah, Sneks!
Newest anthology is out sleighing! 😉This collection of dark fantasy and gothic winter stories has been drawing good industry reviews (we could use a few more on Amazon, please!), and my story was called out as a "delightful yarn" so there's that. Please check it out!

"I have my form completed, everything ready to go. I just need a title for this short story, and then I can be done. But I don't have a title yet, so I came down to get some peanut butter M&Ms for it."

"Does that work?"

"Not always. But if I don't get a title, at least I have peanut butter M&Ms."

Got asked to try / promote a company using genAI to "automate the cumbersome parts of playing TTRPGs" and first of all, fuck you, second of all fuck this idea that any part of *playing a game* needs to be outsourced to a plagiarism machine that sets the world on fire

I was not kind in my response.
