Good news, everybody! The campaign merch store is finally up and running! You can get yard signs, shirts, stickers, and other goodies to show off to all your friends and neighbors! (My team wouldn’t let me do a “Chris Kluwe For Ass.” shirt but I did convince them to do something similar)

Hey everyone, as you may or may not know, I have a book coming out in June. Kirkus gave it a really good review, AND it’s going to be in the April print edition! My publisher tells me this is a big deal since they only feature a small number of indies in the print edition, so I am excite!

In Kluwe’s SF novel, the mysterious appearance of an AI bot that challenges reality itself forces one of the last survivors in a post-apocalyptic world to question everything.

The fun thing about running a political campaign while also trying to get people excited about your new book that was planned long before the political campaign is that there aren’t enough hours in the day! Anyways, I wrote another book, it’s awesome, please clap.

Luna and I have received a most excellent box in the mail from @erewhonbooks.bsky.social * Help us unbox it! * Then head to the bio 🔗 & preorder your copy of A PHILOSOPHY OF THIEVES, mark it as want-to-read everywhere, and generally help the Canarvier family succeed. (A good heist takes a village!)

I read @nickcourage.bsky.social ‘s first novel, The Loudness, TEN years ago today! I *love* this book & was impressed by how credible Nick’s dystopian society felt YET even when there were terrible things happening (or that had happened) there was always a powerful thread of hope to hold onto.

Okay it may seem bad that Meta appropriated the entirety of the written word without compensating or even consulting with any writers, but consider what the world got out of it: a thing you accidentally tap in Instagram

There are no words in the English language sufficient to describe how heartburstingly angry I am at the 8 traitors who just sold us all down the river. It is our job as Americans to make sure they can NEVER appear in public life EVER again. Die wretched and alone, unloved by your country.

The two times I’ve been most jealous of other creatives is imagining when the writer for Succession came up with “you can’t make a Tomlette without breaking some Gregs” and when Kendrick Lamar came up with “you’re trying to strike a chord and it’s probably A minor.”

It’s been a year (tomorrow) since my friend V & I saw our first Celebration show (& my 33rd Madonna show) & I’m just now going through all of the photos I took song by song. “Bad Girl” was a song I’d always wanted to see live so it was a treat seeing her perform it with her daughter on piano.

Yup. Obsessed. My intent was to bounce back and forth between Sanderson and Klune as they’re current my new-to-me authors but plans changed: I had to go straight into The Hero of the Ages after finishing this.

I often see people try to push back against book bans by saying parents can decide what their own kid reads but no one else's. While I get the impulse, it's not doing what you think it is, as OP explains. It's still the same parents' rights dance, just to a different tune.

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're in a carpeted workout room on ship with a mirror back wall that looks oddly & exactly like if they just put a mirror up in the Enterprise D corridor and decided to get their sweat on in the hallway. On screen is Troi and Crusher, wearing rad! jazzersize outfits from the 80s. Like leotard bodysuits with alternating pink and green and silver and glittery colors. Both are standing and leaning and stretching thier arms overhead with smiles. Behind them you see an infinity loop of them working out going into the background of mirror reflections. Closed caption reads, "I feel completely out of control."

And so it began 40 years ago. I remember the day I got this album, too. I saw the “Lucky Star” video on MTV before school & couldn’t get it out of my head all day. When my mom later picked me up I begged to be taken to Quonset Hut to get the album. She acquiesced and here we are.
