2. worry over small presses closing or paring down.

It's trans awareness week. If you weren't aware: I am a trans man, and I've written 2 books starring trans men:

Sword of the Voivode (high fantasy)

Last Wolves of Paris (urban fantasy)

Consider reading some #ownvoices #transbooks this week

A LOT of industry folks need to take "I think there's a very high possibility that this is all a bunch of horseshit" to HEART.

I just withdrew my FIFA world cup volunteer application. I'm not interested in volunteering for an organization that is that far up Trump's rump.

Bucks County ousts ALL Republicans from the Central Bucks and Pennridge school boards after both school boards were ground zero for anti-trans policies in 2021.

Volunteering can take you pretty amazing places to do pretty cool things. Last night, as the sun was setting, I got to take a small ferry boat and a tram out to a civil war era fort, where I stayed until about 1 AM. 1/2

It's Prime Day... so please consider buying your books direct from (ideally indie) bookstores and publishers today, instead of from the Big River that's gouging us all into penury

We'd love you to grab one of our books, from our estore or as a signed paperback

But really: any indie is good :)

Nervous as hell about it, but I did the submission thing. Send those fleshy stories off into the ethos.

I know everyone is excited about Disney shares being down and the amount of folks cancelling subs, but you've left out two players in this fight. Nexstar and Sinclair are the bad guys that put the pressure on the FCC and on ABC. Meanwhile there shares are up or even.

Back this if you like lesbians in Space. It's a no brainer.
Officially put in the stretch goal for art prints in the Lesbians in Space campaign! It's at $9000 and we're only $300 away!
I also submitted Space Wizard books to contests and awards, and started concepting a new cover for our Nov. campaign!

One thing that bothers me tonight in particular is how so much of this is happening because of grand and sweeping capitulation by the media, by companies, by Congress, by people in power. Even when they don’t have to — they simply comply, acquiesce, and appease.

Please go to support.abc.com and "submit programming feedback", tell them to reinstate Kimmel. Takes about a minute. Let's flood them.

I just got offered a training opportunity to learn process automation tools at my new job. Started the job as part timer less than a year ago, since moved to full time, considered a high performer, and now I'm being offered stretch projects and learning opps. It's a nice change to feel appreciated.
