Thank you to @sophianguyen.bsky.social of the @washingtonpost.com for her excellent interview with #pioneersummer coauthors Elena Malisova and Kateryna Sylvanova! “Then the book went out into the big world,” Malisova said, “and we discovered things were really way worse than we thought.”

Oh, this is sweet and hilarious and will never happen again: Annie and I had the #2 and #5 best-selling books in Oklahoma last week, based on four bookstores in the state. I guess that reading in Tulsa was worth it! Thanks @bdralyuk.bsky.social.

RF persecution of LGBTQ+ people must stop. The arrests, targeting, and repressions must stop. Hoping the publishers are soon released and all charges dropped. (PS. For an excellent analysis of how the RF ended up the way it is, read #sofioksanen's Same River Twice: Putin's War On Women.)
