MAKE ME BETTER is my forthcoming novel about the horrors of community. It is about cults, wellness, control, and the things we will do to escape grief.

Sometimes it hurts to grow -- but your community believes that you can be made pure.

It comes out in May.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

I've got a NASTY flu and am not feeling very coherent rn, but I was MUCH more coherent and eloquent like 5 days ago when @brandoncrilly.bsky.social interviewed me about my audiobook #Kickstarter for @sarahgailey.bsky.social's Stone Soup newsletter. Have a peek? 💜

Yeah, it's "The Thing but sexy" but of course @sarahgailey.bsky.social packs in some blistering frustration + loneliness, so it's horniness but also regret and yearning and horniness and despair and apocalypse and horniness...a quick n nasty lil scifi story.

To add:

Folks who need mutual aid are allowed to have fun. They're allowed to have joy. They need positive things in their lives that are more than just survival.

If you feel like poor people should just suffer all day, feel free to block me and piss off forever.
I didnt realize it wasnt obvious until a couple DMs, but folks who need mutual aid to survive ask for gift cards or wishlist items bc:

- low chance of affecting benefits negatively
- can get wants & needs without pulling from desperate survival fund
- alleviates spending while struggling guilt

With no funding we have blocked an array of shitty, dangerous bills and helped get some good ones passed, too. We've sent creators to school board meetings, legislative houses, and courts.

With money we can supercharge our efforts, and make them more accessible to more members. We can FIGHT.
