I don’t have anything planned for my book launch - should I do a livestream? Or visit a local book store?

I got an early copy of Children of Owl by @littlebadger.bsky.social and I can’t put it down. The desert landscape is so vivid and Maisie just will not quit (complimentary). I also didn’t know the occasional illustrations are graphic novel style which is extra fun! Highly recommend.

I was at my first Hugo finalist party, and I met a writer I really admire - they said “You’re Darcie, right?” I was astonished they knew my work, so I smiled and said , “I am! I’m surprised you know me.” They replied, “You’re the only Native American here.” The way my heart fellllllll.

Bisoodi can walk again, which means she’s almost ready for adoption <3 My heart breaks because I love her, but I’m so glad we saved her life. She’s amazing with other dogs and children (a baby played with her yesterday). Genuinely she just wants to be loved. Pug/Shih Tzu 7 mo old!

The Lipan Apache territory (as of in 1800) spanned what is now known as Texas and Northern Mexico. My ancestors are from this region; the border was scrawled across land that is whole.

I have a q for the copyright experts! There’s a physical picture of my great-grandma as a girl from 1907, and she’s in a Lipan camp dress and smiling. It’s never been shared on the internet cause we’re afraid ppl will take it & add the wrong information. Is there any way to copyright this picture?

Hey pals… A good friend and coworker was recently diagnosed with cancer and is out of work for treatment. It really sucks. His brother has started a GoFundMe to help (because American unaffordable healthcare), and I’d appreciate any shares if you could www.gofundme.com/f/support-cj...

This is some amazing news! It's such a positive step that the Lipan Apache in Texas are finally on the path to federal recognition, so give your congressperson a call in support of the bill, if you have a moment!

Children of Owl is a contemporary work of Lipan Apache fiction - its structure and themes (particularly the characters) are deeply rooted in my culture and our present-day realities. I hope it finds its readers <3333

Breaking news. I was at the powwow where they announced the legislation, along with a big gathering of community.

For generations, the Lipan Apache in Texas have fought for our rights and inherent sovereignty as Indigenous people.

Last week, a bill to federally recognize the Lipan Apache Tribe of Texas was introduced in the House. This marks an important milestone in our journey.

My grandfather’s line is fascinating. There’s a lot of Lipan history interwoven in the tree, but we just found the first evidence of an Indigenous ancestor who was not Lipan. They were very likely Purépecha and married into the Lipan group in the 1700s.
