californians can like the way gavin is fighting trump and demand he support trans people. he’s our elected official. he’s supposed to listen to us. stop telling people to calm down when we’re demanding rights for trans people.

I’m going on my second book tour ever this fall, the first time for a book that I wrote by myself, and I planned the whole thing and I’m doing all the events with my friends and I’m just very emotional about it all.

Tarot plays a big role in my upcoming novel Witches of Honeysuckle House, so I thought it was time I talk a little bit about both how I use it in the book and how I use it in my own life!

hey so saying the federal government sending troops to a park in LA is a stunt meant to distract when they’re literally kidnapping our neighbors every day in this city isn’t the message you think it is

Uranus is moving into Gemini on Monday, and I'm not a professional astrologer by any means, but it's been a special interest of mine for several years, so I'm doing a deep dive in my newsletter this week.

Uranus is Moving into Gemini!

Let's talk about what that means.

“Independence day is canceled because of fear of secret police raids” is really a level of on the nose political symbolism you just can’t make up.

All, I have a book to finish, so unless something happens (hopefully not) I'm off.

But please consider this a reminder: vet your sources. We're increasingly getting our news from social media; check who's sharing something before you repost it.

This is especially true for platforms like TikTok.

It’s Pride and people are still mad that The Other March Sisters made Little Women queer, so I did a deep dive on how Little Women and Louisa May Alcott have ALWAYS been queer. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Little Women Has Always Been Queer

And so has Louisa May Alcott
