There’s so much going on in the world right now that we have a lot to juggle here in the “war-ravaged” streets of Portland.
Hope you are keeping all those balls in the air this holiday season.

'What if the protagonist of a novel was not a single person but a couple?'

A gay working-class couple of genius artists (who also happen to be Very Handsome).

Grateful to Lara Feigel for this thoughtful review of the Two Roberts.

The Two Roberts by Damian Barr review – lost story of a gay art duo
The lives of Scottish artists Bobby MacBryde and Robert Colquhoun, who found love and fame and lost it all, are vividly reimagined

Reviews help authors sell books. #MedicineForTheBlues 🎶
If you love a book, write a nice review. It gives the author encouragement for bad days when they want to take up scorpion petting. - @lianabrooks.bsky.social

Black Friday and Cyber Monday make up 20% of corporate retailers' annual sales. What better way to send a message to companies like Amazon, Target, and Home Depot, who don’t care about the very people lining their pockets, than to say, We Ain’t Buying It!

As the 50501 National Press Coordinator, that’s why I’m joining: because the stakes are too high not to.

If you want to catch me, I’ll be speaking at the opening rally on 11/20, lobbying Congress for impeachment, & I’ll be helping out at the march on 11/22.

I hope to see many of you there :)

It's outrageous that Spotify is running ICE ads. I'm moving to another streaming platform that doesn't profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/RlQYaMHE

Before LGBTQ+ History Month is over, let me share this terrific review from IG: “Acquaintance, Jeff Stookey, Medicine for the Blues book 1…this was immaculately researched. For that reason, I feel every gay person should read this. “
Next read Chicago Blues bk 2 & Dangerous Medicine bk 3.
