do not sleep on this!!
My novel Lessons in Magic and Disaster is just $2.99 in all e-book formats today. (Kindle, Kobo, Nook,etc)

This is the book of my heart. It's a queer mother-daughter story about healing and forgiveness. It's got 18th century lit, riot grrls, and filthy weird magic.

I'm never putting time and energy into algorithmic social media again. It turns you into a fool for the machine.

someday, i hope to read news stories like this from cisgender journalists and correspondents, at least once in a while.

meanwhile, the box keeps getting smaller and smaller.

The job of a journalist is to step back, be objective, dispassionate and maintain a neutral tone in what is being reported.

Wish more people took this seriously.

Saw a family with 4 kids, including a very new baby (couldn’t hold up their head) at a concert Sunday, in an auditorium packed with unmasked folks.

Please take care of your kids. There are so many ways to create holiday memories that don’t put them at risk.
A friend with a new baby asked guests to mask in order to hold her baby. A relative refused to mask & broke down in tears about her "restrictions"

As a reminder, babies <6 months have the 2nd highest hospitalization rate from Covid after adults 75+ & are too young to be vaxxed

Around here, some of the biggest homeless shelters are run by the Salvation Army, and they are actively homophobic and force religion on folks for a bed. We need to do better.

Hegseth’s obscene reworking of a character from a Canadian series of children’s books was more than just a drunken impulse + a Ninja Turtle look-alike.

It was a slap in the face to Canadian involvement with creating & maintaining international laws.

My son introduced me to this BBC series from 1978 called Connections, about how interconnected events led to the development of technology and the making of the modern world. It’s absolutely delightful and if you’ve never seen it, you’re in for a treat

Customer service bots are awesome in how they manage to make me angry and frustrated before I get to talk to a human to actually solve the problem. 🫠

“Protect the children!” is & was rarely about actual concern for kids (unlike, say, food support for families with kids, or childcare support, or vaccinations, or actual education instead of warehousing, or…).
Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children.

It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.
